Proyield Soy SE50MAF-UF is a protein hydrolysate derived from soy protein by enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymes used for digestion are from non-animal sources. Proyield Soy SE50MAF-UF has been ultrafiltered to reduce endotoxin.

ReadyToProcess ULTA normal flow filter capsules are single-use filters designed for laboratory through process scale applications. Cytiva provides filtration solutions and support for integrated bioprocessing applications at every step and every scale of the drug development, validation and manufacturing process.

Sani-Tech® Ultra represents the next generation in ultra-pure platinum-cured silicone tubing. Features like ultra-low extractables and longer pump life were engineered into Ultra by the experienced materials scientists of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics to meet the stringent requirements of the biopharmaceutical market.

DNA methylation events are heritable modifications that regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself. They serve as regulatory mechanisms for a wide range of biological processes and genetic diseases, and irregular methylation patterns have been associated with certain cancers.
The Allegra X-30 Series Benchtop Centrifuges were designed with your needs in mind providing you with excellent performance and easy operation in a compact design that saves you valuable time and laboratory space.

Designed with a smaller footprint so it will fit right in your lab, the Avanti J-E is compact yet powerful. The Avanti J-E’s extensive rotor library maximizes capacity and optimizes g-force for efficient, fast separations and greater variety of applications. Its high-torque, switched reluctance (SR) drive technology delivers faster acceleration and deceleration, which means less wait time for you. It offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface, as well as lower energy costs. What’s more, the Avanti J-E’s low height and contoured front panel help ease the burden of rotor installation and retrieval, for even more convenient operation.

Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.

Sartopore 2 XLM filter cartridges are especially designed for validated sterilizing grade filtration and reliable Mycoplasma removal of cell culutre media.
