Mystaire® PCR Prep Stations

They are compact laminar flow enclosures that reduce the risk of sample contamination while performing polymerase chain reaction experiments.

Airborne contaminants are prevented from entering into the work zone through constant positive pressure HEPA filtered air. Each PCR prep station is equipped with a built-in 254 nanometer shortwave lamp to effectively decontaminate the work area between amplifications. Safety interlocks are included on all PCR prep stations to prevent operator exposure to potentially harmful UV radiation.

MY-PCR prep stations are bench-top personal clean zones allowing the operator to amplify RNA and DNA while minimizing the potential for background from airborne contaminants.

Note: MY-PCR and FE-PCR are not biological safety cabinets. They are designed to provide process protection only from potential airborne contaminants found in the laboratory space.

MY-PCR WORKSTATIONS FEATURES

1. Class 100 vertical laminar flow air
2. 15-Minute UV light timer
3. Clear polycarbonate construction with chemically impervious polypropylene work surface
4. UV shelf with integrated pipette holder
5. Electrical cord pass-through port

Sash position switch and overlap to prevent UV light exposure

HEPA Filters, Pre-Filters, UV bulbs, additional ports and shelves also available.

• Ideal for cell disruption, DNA shearing and ChIP assays
• Programmable with touch screen control and pulsed operation
• 150 W, for volumes 0.1 to 150 mL (requires appropriate horn)

The Pulse 150 Ultrasonic Homogenizer uses cavitation and ultrasonic waves to break cells in suspension, shear DNA and prepare samples for ChIP assays. With up to 150 watts of power, the unit processes samples from 0.1 mL to 150 mL (with the appropriate horn).

All components needed for homogenization are included with the Pulse 150™ - a controller, transducer, temperature probe, 6 mm diameter titanium alloy horn and wrenches to change horns. A soundproof box with sample platform is also supplied as standard. The box reduces the noise generated by the sonicator. The 6 mm horn is appropriate for volumes from 10 mL to 100 mL.

Operating parameters are set and viewed on the 4.3 inch color touch screen. Pulsed operation is easily programmed as is the power level. Twenty programs can be stored in memory and recalled as needed. Alarms alert the user to over temperature, over/no load and expiration of time.

Accuris Compact balances have been designed to meet the basic needs of academic and research labs requiring weight determinations to increments of 0.01g to 0.1 g. Their reliable and precise weighing technology utilizes gold-plated, ceramic capacitors to determine sample mass. 

• Compact housing: 7.5 x 11 inch footprint
• Readability 0.1 to 0.01g
• Easy in-lab calibration feature
• RS232 port for data output to a computer or printer
• Multiple mode options (standard weighing, count mode, & percent)
• Simple, reliable performance

Accuris Compact balances have been designed to meet the basic needs of academic and research labs requiring weight determinations to increments of 0.01g to 0.1 g. Their reliable and precise weighing technology utilizes gold-plated, ceramic capacitors to determine sample mass.

The Compact line includes 6 models covering a wide range of maximum weight capacities. The lower capacity units (120g, 300g, and 500g) are readable to 0.01 g, and come with a draft shield ring to prevent air currents from affecting measurements. These models feature a 4.5-inch diameter, stainless steel weigh pan.  The larger capacity models (1000g, 5000g, and 10,000g) do not include the draft shield ring, come with larger weighing pans of 6.3 to 7-inch diameter, and are readable to 0.1g.

All balances in the Accuris Compact line offer large, brightly lit LCD panels, and are easy to operate using the intuitive and splash-resistant control panel.  Different modes allow weight to be displayed in various units: grams, ounces, carats, and simple programs can be used for piece counting and percent deviation weighing.

Leveling feet are located toward the front of the balance for easy access, and a leveling bubble in the control panel is easy to see for quick and simple leveling on the lab bench. The balances can be calibrated using a calibration weight and a few keystrokes on the control panel - just select a calibration point in the calibration mode, place the calibration weight onto the weighing pan, and press the "CAL" button.

Lightweight, and small in size, Accuris Compact balances will provide years of trouble-free service.
