With the launch of the Priorclave Q63 front-loading cylindrical chamber autoclave range it provided the laboratory manager with a truly viable alternative to large, more costly rectangular chamber autoclaves, yet capable of delivering the same sterilising throughput.
Chamber size has a major influence on autoclave selection therefore Priorclave designed the Q63 with a taller profile than that found in most ‘cylindrical’ machines, giving these autoclaves an impressive load capacity ideally suited to sterilising larger bulky items as well as enabling small and taller items could be sterilised in a single process. Users of Q63 autoclaves may also benefit from lower overall running costs associated with reduced power and water usage....
With the advent of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) came the ability to learn more about genomes than ever before and also the ability to do so faster. This trend has done nothing but continue with speed and data quality improving though chemistry and platform advances.
However, NGS is by no means a cheap commodity in any lab. With systems ranging from around $150,000 to easily in excess of $1,000,000 the cost of purchasing and running such systems is still very high, driving a need to get the most from every run. Library quantification is an area where improvements have been made and technologies incorporated to help, namely the use of qPCR, which has in recent years become the gold standard for NGS library quantification....
With both digital (SRT6D, SRT9D) and analogue (SRT6, SRT9) models available, Stuart tube rollers are recommended for mixing blood samples, viscous substances and liquid-solid suspensions where minimum aeration is required.
