Cell harvesting and blood separation
08 February, 2006Beckman Coulter has introduced an adapter that spins 50 mL conical tubes in the Allegra X-15R and X-12 Series benchtop centrifuges. The adapter accommodates 28 tubes per run in a BioCertified, self-balancing rotor and is suitable for cell harvesting and blood separation applications. The adapter runs at up to 5250 x g in the Aries 4 x 750 mL self-balancing rotor, which detects and automatically corrects for imbalance, continuing the run without shutdown.
Differential cell sorting speeds sample preparation
08 January, 2006Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in California have developed an enhancement to a dielectrophoresis system that they say could revolutionise the way biological sample preparation is conducted
Automated tissue arrayer
10 October, 2005The Beecher Instruments ATA-27 automated tissue arrayer makes construction of high-density tissue microarrays fast, accurate and reliable. The instrument can accommodate nearly all current tissue cassettes and can be easily adapted to array large or odd-shaped specimens.
Tissue culture dishes
20 June, 2005Nunc has introduced non-treated tissue culture multidishes and EasYFlasks, for research on living cells where attachment is not needed.
Cell culture mapping system
08 February, 2005In a recent project, electrophysiology researchers at Westmead Hospital in Sydney required a system to acquire and analyse signals measured using a micro-electrode array
