Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced a range of new, improved Thermo Scientific Sterilin 30mL Universal Containers with easier handling and improved leak-free performance.

The improved containers benefit from a ‘QuickStart’ cap which is based on a three start thread, requiring fewer turns to open and close. The containers’ new multi-seal design has been independently validated and was shown to give excellent leak-free performance. For ease of use in the laboratory, containers are supplied in eight handy bags of 50 (400 containers to a carton) and to aid traceability the lot number is printed on each container.

“We are always looking for ways to improve performance of our products and the improvements to the 30mL Universal Containers will make a big difference in labs across all industry sectors from healthcare to university research”, said Rachel Adams, marketing manager, Thermo Scientific Sterilin products. “Our new cap design is easier to use. Requiring less effort than conventional designs this new cap should benefit those who handle large numbers of containers. The improved leak-free performance also helps protect valuable and potentially hazardous samples – another great benefit for laboratories of all types.”

The 30ml Universal Container has a ‘QuickStart’ cap which is much easier to handle and also offers leak free performance. The 30ml Universal container is used extensively across many industry sectors – from Healthcare to University Research. Such a key volume use product needs to be user friendly and also, for reasons of health and safety, operate with leak free performance.

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.HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical 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.
