Endecotts sieve shakers
E
ndecotts are delighted to announce the launch of a new range of laboratory sieve shakers. The Octagon 200, Octagon 200CL, EFL 300, Titan 450 and Minor 200 have been especially designed to accommodate the exacting requirements of the modern laboratory. Ergonomically designed and with a fresh look, Endecotts sieving machines are ideal for your busy laboratory. These sieves are reliable and reproductive, producing results at any time. They boast the shortest sieving time possible, in order to save valuable working hours. There are no mechanical parts, as the new look has an electromagnetic drive, anti-vibration feet and low noise level. Features include: • Exceptionally precise and reliable • Range: 20µm to 125mm • Drive/sieving motion: electromagnetic 3D • Extensive control • 3D performance • Wet sieving conversion kits • Unique clamping
CellXpert CO2 incubators: Key facts to know INSTRULAB - A DIVISION OF AIR & VACUUM TECHNOLOGIES Kylea Rumble 0861 VACTEC (822 832) Tel: (011) 318 3241 www.vactech.co.za
Optimised growth conditions Cell culture wishes to be assured cells are safe in the incubator and have comparable growth conditions at any position in the chamber. The CellXpert delivers a highly uniform temperature by replacing the traditional configuration of one temperature sensor with four independent sensors and advanced microprocessor control. This novel approach was proven by a strict 27-spot verification based on the German DIN 12880 norm. Also, there is no other incubator on the market that recovers CO2 and temperature faster after opening the door. Prepared for the future Flexibility for future use is crucial; CellXpert variants allow changing the door handle position in field - a feature that received a lot of positive user feedback. Additionally, the CellXpert C170i also prepares customers for everincreasing demands regarding documentation and for the connected lab of tomorrow.
replacement parts (e.g., HEPA filters) • Well-thought-out ergonomics • Made in Hamburg/Germany with five years extended warranty; long-term quality assurance Efficient and easy contamination protection Effective contamination prevention is a must in every cell culture lab, and it has never been easier than with the CellXpert: simply disassemble the chamber components within 40 seconds, quickly wipe the seamless chamber, and follow the step-by-step instructions for overnight 180°C high-temperature disinfection.
Total cost of ownership The CellXpert is the best incubator on the market; apart from flexibility, performance, ease of use, etc., the CellXpert provides you with the following clear advantages: • Significantly reduced gas consumption • Up to 25% more usable space • No recurring costs due to
Icgene Mini Rapid qualitative molecular testing
