Product news

A new generation SPECTRA X light engine affords the user a set of exchangeable filters to the already spectrally broad SPECTRA 7 light engine®. The SPECTRA line preserves performance in the form of cool, stable, robust, spectrally pure, intense outputs.

A Remote Control Accessory (RCA) facilitates control. It allows user operation without a dedicated computer or third party software. The RCA is compatible with 3rd party software control of the illuminator but simplifies light engine operation and reduces start up time.

A Camera Interface Accessory (CIA) elevates SPECTRA light engine® timing to the next level of precision, offering exact synchronization in a complete imaging system. These electronics eliminate lag time, minimize photo-damage to sensitive samples, and ensure biologicals’ exposure to only the required amount of light needed for a given experiment.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. 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.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.
