Used Lab Equipment Boston – July 2021 recent arrivals

We recently received some unused, almost new condition Thermo Scientific model 1510 Class II Type B2 biosafety cabinets. We currently have five of these in stock and available. These energy efficient cabinets require direct connection to external exhaust and provide personal and product protection from biological hazards and contamination as well as protection from volatile toxic chemicals used in the cabinet. This biosafety cabinet has SmartFlow compensation to maintain downflow allowing effective use of downflow prefilter for extended HEPA filter life. It also has a counterbalanced sash for easy operation, and an 8” sash height, Type 304 stainless-steel interior, LCD information display located within the chamber, and touchpad controls within reach while seated.
Speaking of biosafety cabinets, take a look at the Nuaire LabGard NU540-400. This is a Class II Type A2 model with a DC ECM motor to economize energy while distributing laminar airflow through a flexible plenum and offering enough power to overcome HEPA filter loading and minimize filter changes. This design provides the user with a work zone whose side and back walls are constructed from a single piece of stainless steel for enhanced containment and easy cleanability. Fluorescent lighting illuminates the procedure inside the cabinet while a dished work tray traps liquid spills and a cord-pass through in the side wall facilitates the use of small electrical devices in the work area.
We’re also excited about this VWR model 1690 oven with a 34.4 cubic foot capacity – it’s huge! It features true horizontal airflow design, programmable 24-step ramp and soak controller, Type-304 stainless-steel interior and exterior with a durable, powder-coated finish, three-inch intake and exhaust ports, and it’s equipped with adjustable stainless-steel shelves. Horizontal airflow is created using a turbo blower that re-circulates air over the heating element, providing fast heat-up and recovery times, and ensuring a more rapid and efficient rate of drying. By forcing continuously warmed air into the chamber, the turbo blower assures uniform heating across all shelves and to every area of the chamber, eliminating concerns of obstructed air, regardless of how the shelves are loaded.
Another recent arrival is a Beckman Airfuge – a small table-top air-drive ultracentrifuge. We know what you’re thinking – 110,000rpm with a small tabletop centrifuge, that must be a typo, right? Wrong. It’s no typo. This little machine can reach speeds normally associated with floor model ultracentrifuges and can accelerate from a still position to 100k rpms in as little as 30 seconds. The Beckman Airfuge doesn’t use vacuum or high-speed bearings; instead, the rotor is supported and spun by streams of air. This handy little machine is designed to provide a rapid method for removing chylomicrons (i.e., fat particles in lipemic samples) and can be used in a lot of other applications: pelleting particles from a large sample, sedimenting particulates from very small volumes on to supports for insertion into an electron microscope, and many more. If you’re looking for a cost- effective solution to your small-scale ultracentrifugation needs, the Beckman Airfuge definitely deserves your consideration.
