Agilent’s Gene Expression Wash Buffers are optimized and validated for consistently reliable, high volume, post-hybridization processing.

The ARTeSYN DRV is designed to be a drop in replacement for your existing diaphragm valves, but with an easy to remove and replace flow through liner.

STERIS Isomedix Services provides contract sterilization and microbial control services for single-use bioprocess systems used in the production of biopharmaceuticals and vaccines.

Agilent's GeneSpring GX software provides powerful, accessible statistical tools for fast visualization and analysis of transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics data.

The Emphaze Hybrid Purifier is a new single-use clarifying device containing a multi-mechanism all synthetic Q-functional anion exchange media integrated with a fine particle, bioburden reduction membrane. The anion exchange media is comprised of a quaternary amine hydrogel supported by a fine fiber nonwoven scaffold. A combination of 3M technology platforms enables the hyperfunctionalization of a high purity polypropylene nonwoven with a covalently attached, thermally stable, water soluble polymer; the functional polymer accounts for roughly two-thirds of the mass of the anion exchange media. The bioburden reduction membrane is a highly asymmetric, high loading capacity polyamide membrane which has nine zones of decreasing pore size spanning a roughly 20X range and terminating with a 0.2 μm bioburden reduction rated pore size.

From the leaders in microplate washing, BioTek introduces the world’s first deep well microplate washer that aspirates and dispenses into 96- and 384-well plates ≤50 mm in height.
