- This is an exponential decay wave electroporator providing a broad range of voltage and time constants for full flexibility in varying transfection applications. The ability to select the resistance and capacitance values, and adjust the range of voltages is the key to achieving the optimal time constants and field strengths needed for efficient transfection of prokaryotes and eukaryotes
- This gradient PCR optimizes protocols easily over 12 rows. It can be used as a stand-alone device, a mini-satellite system, or connect and controlled by a PC for a modular laboratory environment. Featuring electronic sample protection, or ESP, technology prevents undesired heating of samples before PCR begins. Evaporation of samples is minimized thanks to automatic tube height adjustments for sample tubes and plates
- The system can capture the emitted light from the DNA/RNA-bound EtBr and produce high-quality pictures. It has a built-in 5.6-inch LCD camera to minimize the space occupied by your gel documentation system. UVIdoc contains a compact flash slot and disk drive that allow easy capture of an image directly to the storage device of your choice, in TIFF/JPG formats. Then you can use the image manipulation software of your choice to annotate and analyze your results
- The Nuaire Class II Type a/B3 cabinet is a biocontainment equipment used in biological laboratories to provide personnel, environmental, and product protection
- The HERAcell 150i air-jacketed CO2 Incubator incubator provides the ideal in vitro environment: clean, reliable, and easy to use, protecting valuable samples while optimizing cell growth with fast recovery characteristics and convenient touchscreen user interface
