Increase your pipetting throughput and reproducibility without investing in big automation. Previously, high throughput microplate pipetting was only possible by investing in fully automated liquid handling robots. These robots are not only expensive, they are also complex and difficult to program, requiring specially trained users. VIAFLO 96/384 is the solution. With this 24, 96 and 384 channel pipette, INTEGRA meets the need for an affordable, compact and easy to use pipette that provides increased productivity....
The Knife Mill PULVERISETTE 11 provides a homogeneous sample in a very short time due to its special design. Each subsample taken from any location in the grinding vessel is representative for the original sample and thus ensures an exact, significant analysis. And that for a wide range of different materials, regardless of whether the sample is dry, moist, soft, medium-hard, fibrous or oily. Ideal for sample preparation in the fields of foodstuffs or animal feed testing, agriculture and forestry, biology, pharmaceuticals and chemistry....
