Pure-Fit® SC is an innovative new connective technology that makes it possible to create true sterile connections anywhere – even outside the clean room environment.

Mixed-mode chromatography resin is a top tier selection for the manipulation, purification and handling of molecules; providing an unmatched level of separation properties and resolution. The combination of cation exchange resin and metal affinity resin properties, allows multimodal chromatography to provide an access route for biomolecules to separate and the use of alternative chromatographic methods make these biomolecules seem homogenous.

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.

The SDR SensorDish® Reader is a small 24-channel reader for non-invasive detection of oxygen and pH in disposable 24- or 6-well multidishes. The multidishes contain a sensor spot at the bottom of each well. They are read out non-invasively and non-destructively through the transparent bottom of the multidishes by the SensorDish® Reader placed below them.
The Avanti J-30I High-Performance Centrifuge System gives you the fastest separations possible - in the shortest amount of time. Swinging-bucket and fixed-angle rotors provide maximum separation forces in excess of 100,000 x g at speeds up to 30,000 rpm.

BalanCD® CHO Feed 2 is a chemically-defined protein-free feed medium designed to be added as a fed-batch supplement to promote cell growth and increase process yields of antibodies and recombinant proteins.

Hydrophilic or hydrophobic membrane filter capsules and cartridges for sterilizing liquid or gas. More than 20 different inlet / outlet connections, with or without vents and drains. SIP / Autoclavable. Specify when gamma stability is required.
The electro-optical module EOM-O2-mini is a precise OEM solution for non-invasive oxygen sensor spots. Assembled according to ISO 9001:2000 they deliver certified quality.
