Nuvia HR-S media is a new strong cation exchanger that has been optimized for particle size and chemistry that provides exceptional resolution and high recovery.

Proyield Wheat WGE80M-UF is a protein hydrolysate derived from wheat gluten protein by enzymatic hydrolysis.

These new OEM cameras from Hamamatsu feature an advanced scientific CMOS (sCMOS) image sensor capable of high resolution, fast frame rates, and low noise simultaneously. With their small size, board-level design, and simple, low-cost integration, these OEM cameras are ideal for imaging in life science, failure analysis, and semiconductor inspection.

Capto S, Capto Q and Capto DEAE are, respectively, strong cation, strong anion and weak anion exchange media for packed bed chromatography that increase speed and throughput in capture and intermediate purification.

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

CHT is a leading purification medium of biomolecules in today’s demanding downstream process industry. Its mixed-mode support offers unique selectivities and often separates biomolecules that appear homogeneous with other chromatographic methods. The diverse binding capabilities of CHT for host cell proteins, leached protein A, antibody dimers and aggregates, nucleic acids, and viruses allow its use at any stage from initial capture to final polishing.

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.

Encompassing two leading-edge processes, multi-zone microporous membrane construction and Advanced Pleating Technolog (APT) design, LifeASSURE™ PSA Series filters offer robust 0.20 and 0.10 micron absolute-rated filtration and exceptionally long service life.
