Beckman Avanti J-15R centrifuge
The Avanti J-15R Centrifuge from Beckman Coulter combines the strengths of both the Avanti floor model and Allegra benchtop centrifuges for a powerful, compact high performance benchtop centrifuge. It is an all-around solution for your scientific needs: cell culture, transfection/transduction, nucleic acid purification, blood processing, assay set-up and more. These centrifuges use ultra-harmonic technology, which leverages intelligent acceleration and deceleration profiles, reduces sample disturbances and provides time savings. The Ultra Harmonic Technology optimizes sample separation by reducing the net changes of forces to the sample, maximizing the amount of specimen presence in the pellet, and reducing the presence of contaminants or unpelleted materials in the supernatant. It also optimizes time by implementing faster acceleration and deceleration profiles without compromising on sample quality. Click here for more details.
Nuaire Pharmagard PR797-400 positive pressure containment isolator
The PharmaGard NU-PR797 is a USP 797 Compliant Primary Engineering Control (PEC). Defined as a Compounding Aseptic Isolator (CAI), model NU-PR797 is composed of a stainless-steel enclosure and polycarbonate front window with gloves that provide 20 air changes minute of ISO Class 5 HEPA filtered air for the preparation of sterile, non-hazardous drugs. The isolator is sub-divided into a work chamber that is kept at a more substantial positive pressure than the adjoining interchange chamber, which is positively pressured to the room. This cascade of pressure prevents contamination in the interior. A sliding door and work tray allow the passage of items within the isolator before compounding, while the hinged front window allows easy access for maintenance. Standard minihelic gauges display the pressure in both the work and interchange chambers. Click here for more details.
Buchi R-300 rotary evaporator system
The Buchi R-300 rotary evaporator “rotavapor” system includes the R-300 tower B-300 heating bath, F-105 recirculating chiller, and V-300 vacuum pump. The Buchi R-300 features an ergonomic handle with conveniently change the position of the lift, direction rotation speed control for immediate adjustment of rotation speed, and Combi-Clip flask connection. Buchi rotary evaporators allow users to quickly perform single step distillations in a product friendly manner with the evaporation and condensation of solvents using the rotating evaporating flask. Distillations are typically performed under vacuum, which helps protect the product and increases performance output. While specific conditions will varying depending on application, the basic operation of a Buchi rotovap system is as follows: the solvent is heated over a heating bath while the drive unit rotates the evaporating flask evenly. The solvent vapor flows quickly into the condenser and the energy in the solvent is transferred to the cooling medium. And presto bingo, the solvent condenses and collects in the receiving flask.
