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.

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.

ÄKTA avant™ is a preparative chromatography system designed for fast and secure development of scalable methods and processes.

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.

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

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.

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is a microfluidics-based platform for sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA, RNA, proteins and cells on a single platform. Results are delivered within 30-40 minutes in automated, high quality digital data.

The APM is a next generation fluid management solution for single use process systems allowing you to modulate and control flow without having to use your fingers as the control valve.
