Robot Incorporated into Protein Discovery System
November 29, 2011 6:32 am | Product Releases | CommentsTecan’s Cavro Omni Robot has been incorporated into Applied Photophysics’ new protein discovery solution, the Chirascan-plus CD Spectrometer. This newly created system combines Tecan’s sample handling with measurement reproducibility.
Temperature Controlled Sample Holder
August 10, 2011 8:15 am | Product Releases | CommentsTemperature Controlled Sample Holder studies vacuum-sensitive and vulnerable samples. This active sample holder is designed to control the temperature of the sample between -25°C and +50°C. The temperature of the sample is manipulated so the humidity around it can be controlled. This enables imaging of moistures and water containing samples as well as reducing the effect the electron beam has on beam sensitive samples.
Type 6624 Solenoid Valve
August 10, 2011 6:44 am | Product Releases | CommentsType 6624 Solenoid Valve combines the Rocker principle with an actuator. The TwinPower concept of this actuator reduces the size greatly with increased performance on a smaller profile. This creates a 10 mm wide medium isolated rocker valve with a 1.6 mm orifice and a pressure resistance of 2 bar (30 psi), providing the same performance as a traditional 16 mm valve.
Sample Preservation Matrix
August 9, 2011 7:23 am | Product Releases | CommentsThermo Scientific Bioservative is a sample preservation matrix that does not require refrigeration. Bioservative ensures the cell viability of microbiological samples for up to seven days and delays the breakdown of RNA, DNA and peptides within a sample for up to 26 days.
