Product news

Hettich Instruments is proud to announce the newest addition to its legendary line of microliter centrifuges, the MIKRO 220. Available in refrigerated and non-refrigerated versions, the MIKRO 220 is a compact, table-top centrifuge designed to perform in a variety of applications both in clinical laboratories as well as in genetic research, virology, cytology and bacteriology. In addition, the capacity, performance and cooling abilities of the MIKRO 220 are designed to meet the demands of sample preparation for PCR applications.

The MIKRO 220’s powerful, brushless motor is able to reach 18,000 RPM, allowing samples to spin at high speeds with minimal noise or vibration. This smooth running is further enhanced by the 220’s custom sound-dampening lid and insulation. On refrigerated models, the fast cooling system allows users to reach, and maintain temperatures as low as -20⁰ C.

Innovative safety features include an adjustable imbalance switch, automatic rotor recognition and automatic lid locking during operation. Like all Hettich centrifuges, the MIKRO 220 is fully compliant with CE and various international standards of quality and safety for laboratory devices.

Paying close attention to customer feedback, the MIKRO 220’s digital display control panel is backlit and features an easy touch keypad for quick programming. Users can control speed, RCF, temperature, running time and several other functions with the push of a single button.

The centrifuge is offered with the expert support of Hettich’s customer and technical service teams and comes standard with a 2 year warranty.

PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.
