Concentrator plus

Eppendorf

The new Concentrator plus from Eppendorf is available in two configurations: * Complete system with an integrated service-free diaphragm pump * Basic concentrator for connecting to an existing vacuum. The concentrator can easily be upgraded to a complete system at a later stage if desired. Power to external vacuum pumps can be automatically controlled by using the AC receptacle in the rear of the concentrator. The Concentrator’s heating technology optimizes the evaporation process. No matter which configuration you choose, you’re assured of quick and efficient—yet gentle—vacuum concentration of your samples (e.g. DNA/RNA, proteins). The complete system includes a vapour condenser that purifies the exhaust air by up to 85%. This serves as protection against unpleasant vapours. At the same time, an automatic condensate drain extends the service life of all components that come into contact with the vapours. The new Concentrator plus features a new LCD display and user-friendly control panel with clearly labeled function keys.

Centrifuge 5430

Eppendorf

The compact design of the new Eppendorf 30-place microcentrifuge offers an impressively wide range of applications. Virtually any tube or plate you want to centrifuge can be accommodated by one of its eight available rotors from an Eppendorf Tube® at 30,000 x g, to Falcon® tubes in the fixed-angle rotor, to MTP plates in the swing-bucket rotor—and more! Centrifuge 5430 is your centrifuge, based on your requirements. And the ergonomically structured control panel makes handling easier than ever

epT.I.P.S. LoRetention

Eppendorf

Increased sensitivity with maximum reproducibility Are you dependent on your precious samples? Then don’t leave any valuable residues in your tips when pipetting solutions that contain detergents! Based on a unique and innovative method of material modification, the new Eppendorf epT.I.P.S. LoRetention allow you to transfer almost 100 % of the liquid picked up – for maximum recovery with unbeaten precision. Particularly with sensitive PCR and real-time PCR applications, low-retention surfaces can increase reproducibility and notably reduce the loss of expensive reagents – depending on the reagent solution by up to 5 %! The “Pearl Effect” The ultrahydrophobic, extremely homogenous surface of the epT.I.P.S. LoRetention is achieved through an innovative treatment at the molecular level – the Pearl Effect Technology. The tips are uncoated and free from additives, thus nothing can bleed into the sample. Liquids roll off completely, so that almost no sample remains in the tip. In comparison, the adhesive layer of liquid in standard tips retains considerably more sample material. For users of the new epT.I.P.S. LoRetention, this unique material property guarantees maximum sample recovery, improved reproducibility and higher sensitivity.

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.
