Piston Gradient Fractionator

Model: Bioc MP

 

The combination of the gradient master and the piston gradient fractionator offer a quantum leap in reproducibility and resolution. Visible light scattering band visualization system for particles as small as viruses and ribosomes. · >99% accuracy and reproducibility in piston movement with readout to 0. 01 mm. · programmable fractionation and rinsing. · rinse and air pumps to clean sample tubing after each fraction. · patented trumpet tip™ piston gradually compresses thin bands of particles into vertical columns prior to capture.

High Speed Mixer

Model: Silverson L5M-A

 

The new Silverson L5M-A – is ideal for all laboratory work, research and development, QA analysis and small scale production.

The L5M-A Laboratory Mixer is suitable for the widest range of applications – mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating and dissolving. With a capacity from 1ml up to 12 liters and the ability to mix in-line with flow rates up to 20 liters/minute, they offer excellent reproducibility when scaling up to full-scale production and provide an accurate and easy means of forecasting the performance of larger Silverson machines under full-scale working conditions.

The multifunctional lab mixer features touch screen control with digital tachometer, programmable integral timer, and amperage display.

Bath Sonicator

Model: Elma S 180 

 

This is a batch type high vacuum evaporation system for the deposition of metal and oxide on a substrate. Since the operation panel of this system has an integrated control function that realizes automated vacuum and deposition process, it is recommended for R&D use as well as for small-scale manufacturing. Batch type, high vacuum evaporation system.
