Beckman Coulter Avanti J-15R Centrifuge

Beckman Coulter 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.

Thermo 3310 SteriCult CO2 incubator

Thermo 3310 SteriCult CO2 incubator.

The Thermo 3310 SteriCult CO2 incubator is ideal for cell culture work. The Thermo 3310 SteriCult features integral 140°C high-temperature sterilization function that simplifies cleaning protocols and optimized airflow system that does not interfere with samples or incubator function, as well as in-chamber HEPA air filtration continuously removes particulates for Class 100 quality conditions. The Thermo 3310 allows users to carry out high-volume culturing with strict contamination controls. The on-demand 140°C sterilization cycle eliminates contamination from internal surfaces and an audible alarm activates if outer door is opened during the cycle or if temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) or greater.
