Product news

Grant Instruments, an international supplier of precision sample preparation equipment, has recently added a General Purpose Centrifuge to their Grant-bio line of products. Capable of accommodating a variety of tube sizes as well as microplates, this highly versatile centrifuge offers a cost effective spin down solution for a wide range of biomedical, biochemical and life science applications. A powerful and extremely quiet motor with soft-start and run-own functions, provides spin speeds of up to 3000 rpm for tubes and 2000 rpm for microplates. Set up for speed and run time is fast and easy using convenient push buttons and an LCD display.

The Grant-bio LMC-3000 General Purpose Centrifuge features robust and durable construction and comes with an industry exclusive 3 year warranty. Suitable for use in cold rooms and incubators, it has an operating temperature range of 4 to 45°C. Interchangeable swinging bucket rotors are available to hold 2 standard or deep well microplates, 6 x 50 mL tubes with caps and conical bottoms, 12 x 10/15 mL test tubes with no caps and rounded bottoms or 12 x 15 mL microtubes with conical bottoms.

Suitable for a wide range of analytical applications including biomedical, bio-organic and immunoenzyme analysis, the Grant General Purpose Centrifuge is a major advancement in analysis.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

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.

Plate processing systems include microplate handlers for moving plates, heat sealers, stackers and carousels for storage, retrieval and delivery, microplate washers and piercers. Useful features of plate processors include walk-away automation, compatibility and easy integration with microplate systems.
