Forensic MicroSpin

• Forensic MicroSpin is a valuable device for the extraction of DNA from crime scene samples.
• Forensic MicroSpin is specifically manufactured to prevent DNA or RNA contamination of the device prior to use.
• The receiver tube can be capped to protect the sample for storage or freezing

Spec and Instructions:

• The device has a filter unit, and a 2ml graduated micro centrifuge tube with an attached cap.
• The filter unit has an integral perforated bottom that filter acts like a strainer and allows fluids to pass but retains small cloth samples in the filter unit.
• A cloth sample from the crime scene is cut into small pieces and inserted in the filter unit.
• Add appropriate solvents or buffers to the cloth sample in the filter unit that will permit extraction of DNA.
• The filter unit is then placed into the 2ml microcentrifuge receiver tube, and the entire assembly is centrifuged in a microcentrifuge as indicated in the DNA extraction protocol being used by the forensic laboratory.
• Following centrifugation, the filter unit is removed from the filtrate receiver tube, and the cellular debris in the bottom of the tube can be DNA fingerprinted by the forensic technician.
• Maximum centrifugal force is 20,000 x g. Non-Sterile.
• Includes Filter Unit & 2.0ml Receiver Tube

Centrifuge Bottles

• Centrifuge Bottles have a rigid body for low to moderate speed centrifugation of biological and chemical samples
• High quality polycarbonate and polypropylene have excellent chemical resistance
• Centrifuge Bottles are reusable and autoclavable

Polypropylene

• Translucent walls provide visibility of contents
• Bottle must be filled 75% of total capacity for maximum results

Large centrifuge tubes are perfect for clarifying large volume solutions or concentrating live cells in tissue culture. Made from pure pre-tested medical-grade resins to ensure the integrity of your work. Each lot is tested and certified free of RNase/DNase, Endotoxins, and is non-pyrogenic. Resins are pre-tested, and are free of ATP, Oleamide, DiHEMDA, and Phthalates. These tubes come in unique balanced packages of 2 tubes, so you don’t have to worry about resealing bags or re-sterilizing these tubes. They also include our exclusive caps with an integral elastomeric sealing ring that eliminates leaking. Sterile tubes have been sterilized with a validated medical-grade process using radiation.
 

The Argos Pellet Mixer is a lightweight battery powered hand held homogenizer that can be used with disposable pestles, mixers and micro tubes. Cell tissue and pellets are completely homogenized within seconds by means of a high speed vortexing action. Greatly reduces hand fatigue. Comes complete with 2 "AA" batteries and Pestle/Mixer adapter.

Plug Style Caps for Culture Tubes

• Endotoxin Free (non-pyrogenic)
• Polyethylene USP Class VI resin
• Not autoclavable
• Natural white color

Dual position aspirating cap for culture tubes. Cap includes plug position and open aspirating position.
 

SuperClear™ Culture Tubes and Caps

• Ultra-clear resin
• Colored tubes available
• Medical grade (U.S.P.) packaging
• Thicker walls will not crush

These precision-molded, conical and round bottom tubes are perfect for a multitude of general laboratory uses. Precision crafted of extra clear virgin polypropylene in natural and colors or clear virgin polystyrene. Tube caps are made of low-density polyethylene for a secure seal and are available in a fluted plug style or dual position design that permits sample aspiration.

Polypropylene tubes are autoclavable to 122°C and freezable to -80°C. Polystyrene tubes are not autoclavable but have a nominal temperature range between 90°C and -40°C. Polyethylene caps are not autoclavable but are available pre-sterilized with many of the tube packages.

Polypropylene tubes can be centrifuged to 3000 RCF and polystyrene tubes will withstand 1500 RCF. (RCF; Relative Centrifugal Force, is not equivalent to RPM)
 

Gel Crusher™ Spin Column

• Creates uniform gel fragments with no chunks
• Fits in standard microtubes
• Increases DNA yield
• For use in molecular cloning, PCR, restriction digestions, sequencing, and labeling protocols
• Fits 2 mL receiver tubes 

MTC Bio’s Gel Crusher™ Spin Columns are designed to replace labor-intensive gel fragmentation steps (crush+soak method, etc.). Commonly used in molecular cloning, PCR, restriction digestions, sequencing, and labeling protocols, these spin columns can be used to fragment gel slices (typically cut with a gel extractor or razor blade) into smaller pieces.

These smaller uniform pieces will produce greater yields and can be easily pipetted using wide bore tips into an NaCl solution. This reduces the time to create a fine slurry for further elution, filtration, incubation, etc. Place the Gel Crusher™ column in the 2 mL microtube and centrifuge the column/tube assembly in a standard benchtop microcentrifuge for 5 minutes at maximum speed (generally approximately 15,000 x g).

The gel will be forced through the 600 uM holes into the 2 mL receiver tube. The crushed fragments will be small enough to be aspirated/dispensed through a pipette tip.

Reversible Racks

• Alphanumeric markings and are supplied in packs of 5.
• Choose 60 well (5 x 12) or 96 well (8 x 12) formats
• Reversible racks, accept 0.5 and 1.5 to 2.0 mL microtubes

MetalFree™ Centrifuge Tubes

• Made of 100% medical grade ultra low metal virgin resins
• Certified below one part per billion (<1ppb) for trace metals
• Natural colorant-free flat caps
• Autoclavable (122°C) & Freezable (-80°C)

Labcon’s Metal Free® centrifuge tubes are specifically processed to ensure that common trace metals and elements that can interfere with experiments are below an ICP-MS detection level of one part per billion (<1ppb). These tubes are perfect for storage of samples and for applications requiring the assurance of low background metals.

Metals included in testing are: Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Aluminum, Silicon, Nickel, Vanadium, Sodium, Phosphorous, Cobalt, Chromium, Potassium, Lithium, Selenium, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic, and Lead.
