32" Nucleic acid-pcr- workstation with filtration AirClean nucleic acid workstation with HEPA filter

ross-contamination during amplification of DNA and RNA can lead to results that are inaccurate. These results consume valuable time and expensive reagents. AirClean® PCR hoods protect sensitive reactions from airborne contaminants. Each system has a built-in 254 nm ultraviolet light for decontamination of consumables and equipment between amplifications. Combination workstations include vertical laminar flow action to prevent outside contaminants from entering the work area during manipulation.

UPLC

UPLC is the result of holistic innovation that simultaneously re-engineered LC particle technology, column design, injectors, pumps, and detectors. The increased performance of sub-2-μm hybrid columns, used in conjunction with the ACQUITY UPLC® System's specialized ability to deliver mobile phase at high pressures with low dispersion, preserves the chromatographic benefits of such small-particle chemistries — producing sharper and more concentrated peaks. ACQUITY UPLC increases your throughput and reduces solvent use without compromising analytical results.

Hybridization oven- minioven

Hybridization incubators, also known as hybridization ovens, are used in life science and research laboratories for applications including nucleic acid hybridizations such as Northern (RNA) blots/hybridizations, Southern (DNA) blots/hybridizations, Western (protein) blots, and molecular biology assays. The blotting protocol is performed in glass hybridization tubes or hybridization bottles held in place by a tube rotator (rotisserie). We offer models with the additional functionality to operate as a shaker or rocker, and even as a UV crosslinker.
