Industry news

PHC Corporation of North America has announced a rapid delivery program designed to provide critically needed laboratory equipment into facilities working on COVID-19 diagnostics, clinical care, vaccine development and long-term research.

The company has expanded inventory of PHCbi brand products in its North America warehouse ready for expedited shipment with no lead times. The inventory is updated daily and published on the company’s website where products can be shipped to USA destinations on the same or next day.

The order processing program has been streamlined to include participating laboratory equipment distributors and sales representative companies throughout the country. These channels are clearly defined on a website map and easily found with a single click.

High Performance Refrigerators and Biomedical Freezers

These units are specifically engineered and temperature mapped to assure fast recovery after door openings, internal temperature uniformity and stable storage of temperature-sensitive specimens necessary for diagnostic test kits and other processes associated with the COVID-19 response. Typical stored materials include PCR reagents, enzymes, vaccines and others that must be maintained at temperatures accurate to within a degree. Temperatures range from 12°C to -30°C.

Ultra-Low Temperature Storage Freezers

Government and other regulations require that clinical specimens collected from affected patients be preserved for confirmation and long-term research. PHCbi brand -80°C ultra-low temperature freezers are designed to help comply with CDC recommendations and other mandates for storage of viral specimens, extracted RNA and cDNA and other diagnostic outcomes. These freezers are sized for new, replacement or expansion installations where placement in basements and hallways may be necessary.

CO2 and Multigas CO2/O2 Incubators

Clinical testing and research requires contamination-free, accurate, stable temperature and gas control to assure reproducibility required for collaborative diagnostics and research. PHCbi brand CO2 and CO2/O2 incubators are designed for standard and more progressive protocols where replication of in vivo cell culture environments in vitro is necessary.

Class II, Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinets

Because COVID-19 is classified by the CDC as a BSL-3 pathogen, clinical work associated with diagnostic preparation and management must be performed in an NSF Certified biological safety cabinets under HEPA filtration to protect the lab worker, the environment and to prevent cross-contamination. PHCbi brand cabinets are available in standard 4' and 6' models.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Baths and CirculatorsLaboratory baths and circulators are capable of refrigerating and heating to meet the demands of any temperature controlled application.Gas Generators and AnalyzersGas generators are used for supplying or monitoring a regular flow of a high purity gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen or zero air for applications such as gas chromatography. Gas analyzers can be used in supply chain processes and laboratory experiments with portable analyzers for monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> levels as well as trace gases. Regular flow can be produced with gas control modules and flow meters. Find the best gas generators and analyzers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Preparative ChromatographyPreparative chromatography equipment is used for purification purposes, separating and collecting compounds eluted from a mixture which can then be subsequently used for further purposes. This can be done in large quantities or small. Preparative chromatography systems are usually low to medium pressure liquid chromatographs that are semi-automated. Explore a range of preparative columns and fraction collectors. Find the best preparative chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. 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.Animal ModelsThe use of non-human animals in experiments or behavorial observations. The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies. AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention.
