Its powerful motor is ideal for the particularly fast comminution of soft to medium-hard, brittle as well as fibrous materials and temperature-sensitive samples with an extremely fast sample throughput of up to 15 litres and more per hour, depending on the material and parameter settings.
This isn’t a new problem. As a matter of fact, in the late-70’s when Jerry Finneran was working for another company, in the plastics department, he was trying to think of ways to reduce the cost of such a vial. He suggested that using a plastic vial, since plastic is less expensive than glass, and bonding a glass insert inside it, which would maintain the glass surface being in contact with samples that the lab techs required, would reduce the cost of the vial....
Since 1979, Herolab has been manufacturing high quality products at attractive prices from its base in Wiesloch in Germany and the Hi Cen GR extends that range further.

Storing 100 empty cardboard freezer boxes is a challenge even for a large size laboratory, not to mention the additional cost of shipping a large package essentially filled with air. New Pop Up 2” Freezer Boxes from Bel-Art – SP Scienceware ship flat and store flat when not in use, reducing your needed storage space and saving you money on shipping costs.
This chemiluminescent product joins the Company’s extensive range of over 800 reagents and consumables for the life scientist. Chemi FP has attomole sensitivity and a very long lasting signal output. The light emission is stable for 10 times longer than with typical ECL substrates. This now enables the user to detect bands not usually visualised with other substrates that are commonly used. Importantly, the high signal-to-noise level and large dynamic range of the product makes it ideal for quantifying low intensity bands.

To more effectively recover large molecular weight proteins, such as blood factors and conjugated proteins or viruses and virus-like particles, Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB) has reconfigured its Sartobind® membrane chromatography capsules. A range of capsule sizes with a 4 mm bed height is now available from the 1 mL nano unit up to the new 2.5 L jumbo version. The capsules’ upstream flow channels have been optimized, and an internal core...
There is a definite need for more predictive in vitro efficacy assays to reduce both the number of costly drug failures in clinical trials and the number of animals used in pre-clinical testing. Performing certain cell-based assays in 3D has proven to improve their relevance as models; however, when choosing support for the cell culture growth, important factors to consider are: reproducibility of the environment, similarity to the real-life conditions, ease of...

Microsaic Systems plc (AIM: MSYS), the high technology company developing the next generation of miniaturised mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, is pleased to announce that its product range is now compatible with Clarity Chromatography Software, the advanced Chromatography Data Station developed by Data Apex.
The AutoTEC a120 is a second-generation, fully automated tissue embedder that eliminates the labor intensive need to manually orient and embed tissue specimens and form tissue or cell paraffin blocks. The AutoTEC technology, combined with the Paraform® Sectionable Cassette System ensure that the orientation of specimens is locked from grossing to microtomy for all routine tissue types, thereby eliminating the risk of orientation mistakes...
In response to the announcement Myeloma UK Chief Executive Eric Low said,“The news that these drugs are being removed from the Cancer Drugs Fund is a devastating blow to patients and is a significant step backwards in the treatment of myeloma. “Myeloma UK has consistently argued that the Cancer Drugs Fund does not address why drugs are not being approved by NICE, and that the Fund is not a long-term solution to underlying access issues...
