Sub-microlitre DNA analysis
12 January, 2007 | Supplied by: Thermo Fisher Scientific
Designed for use with several Thermo UV/vis spectrophotometers, including the Spectronic BioMate 3, the Spectronic Genesys 10 Bio, and the Evolution 300, the nanoCell accessory offers sub-microlitre analysis capabilities for DNA and protein analysis in the life science laboratory. The nanoCell allows users to obtain the maximum amount of information from minute sample volumes. This is especially critical in laboratories performing assays for nucleic acids, RNA/DNA and protein concentrations that wish to limit the amount of sample used for analysis.

Automated cell separator
13 November, 2006 | Supplied by: Thermo Fisher Scientific
Robosep is claimed to be the first instrument to provide true 'walk-away' automation of magnetic cell separation. Using column-free technology to isolate cells by either positive or negative selection, Robosep can label and separate up to four samples (volume between 2.5 x 107 and 8 x 109 cells) at one time. Robosep is easily controlled by an integrated colour touch screen and provides its users with the convenience of using EasySep Reagents and disposable tips to eliminate cross contamination.
