Product news

INTEGRA Biosciences has announced PIPETBOY vacuum tweezers, a handheld suction device for manipulating small or delicate items that cannot be touched. Designed as a low cost accessory for the popular PIPETBOY pipettor, the new vacuum tweezers allow you to pick up, move, and position small, delicate, and hard to hold objects that weigh up to 50 g (1 ¾ oz).

Supplied with a set of interchangeable suction nozzles, PIPETBOY vacuum tweezers are the perfect tool for handling a wide variety of items including microscope slides, cover slips, optics, small mechanical parts, electronic components and biological specimens. Uses include assembly or handling of items where contamination by finger oils must be avoided or for parts that are so small that conventional mechanical tweezers may cause loss or damage of parts. Benefiting from an ergonomic, lightweight and easy to use design, PIPETBOY vacuum tweezers allow safe, fatigue-free operation.

Pipettes and DispensersPipettes and dispensers are essential lab equipment used to dispense measured volumes of liquid accurately. Explore a range of manual and electronic pipettes, including single and multichannel, serological and volumetric pipettes, as well as a range of pipette tips. Bottle-top dispensers are also available for simple and fast solvent dispensing.

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.

Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
