Proyield Soy SE70M-UF is protein hydrolysate derived from soy protein concentrate by enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymes used for digestion are from non-animal sources. Proyield Soy SE70M-UF has been ultrafiltered to reduce endotoxin.
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.
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.
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.

AseptiQuik® STC Connectors integrate the AseptiQuik® sterile connector and the Steam-Thru® II SIP connector, giving manufacturers even greater flexibility for hybrid stainless steel and single-use processing. 

Hydrophilic media and depth filters. Cellulosic, Diatomaceous earth + cellulose, GF, polyproylene and nano fiber disposable capsules or cartridges. For clarification, prefiltration or to protect columns. Many different inlet / outlet connections, with or without vents and drains. SIP / Autoclavable. Specify when gamma stability is required.

The first self-contained oxygen measurement in the popular 12 mm format similar to standard process and pH electrodes and classical sterilizable oxygen sensors. VisiFerm DO optical sensors demonstrate a number of substantial advantages because of a symbiosis of sensor and measurement amplifier- an intelligent sensor.

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.
