Centrifuges for your Clinical Lab

Benchtop centrifuges

Benchtop centrifuges are highly versatile. These robust centrifuges can hold virtually all types of centrifugation vessel and achieve excellent sedimentation results with them.

Hettich Haematocrit centrifuges are primarily used to determine the percentage by volume of erythrocytes in blood. In this procedure, blood is centrifuged in haematocrit capillaries until the maximum cell packing density is reached. Once centrifugation is complete the haematocrit value is read off using the special evaluation disc. Hettich ROTOFIX 32 A is an indispensable tool in cytology. Max. capacity in a swing-out rotor: 4 x 100 ml in an angle rotor: 6 x 85 ml Max. speed (RPM): 6,000 Max. RCF: 4,226 Special tasks, such as those arising in genetic research, virology and bacteriology, then larger models are recommended with the capability of complex centrifugation runs. The ROTINA models, such as the efficient ROTINA 380 are characterised by their high safety standard. The ROTINA 420 is high-performance models as well as being economical in use.

Clinical Electrophoresis

Horizontal gel electrophoresis

A long-established technique, horizontal gel electrophoresis offers many advantages for nucleic acid separation, and remains today one of the mainstays of molecular biology. The Cleaver Scientific MultiSUB ™ range offers the most comprehensive and versatile range of horizontal gel electrophoresis units currently available for low- and high-throughput DNA and RNA applications and have been designed by scientists with the laboratory scientist in mind.

Clinical and Pharmaceutical Electrophoresis
Cleaver Scientific supply a wide range of Clinical and Pharmaceutical Electrophoresis products including cellulose acetate electrophoresis units as well as Comet assay tanks, kits, membranes and accessories.

Comet Assay Tanks
First introduced in 1981 to quantify double-stranded DNA breakages in single cells exposed to γ-irradiation, the Comet Assay (or SCGE) has since been adapted to analyse specific DNA lesions and repair processes.

Cleaver Scientific Comet Assay Tanks are available in four slide formats to study single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), a technique made popular by drug toxicology and carcinogenesis studies for the detection and quantification of DNA damage in cells. Each tank’s robust construction from ebony acrylic ensures that cells remain free of exposure to background light and DNA damage during electrophoresis, while a cooled central platform provides a convenient surface for slide preparation and control of slide temperature during the assay. Following electrophoresis DNA damage may be measured using Comet Assay scoring software.

Cellulose Acetate Electrophoresis

The ideal tank for standard membrane and gel cellulose acetate techniques, the Cellas electrophoresis system is designed and built to our high quality standard to address both routine clinical and research requirements

Clinical Lab Freezers

Chest & Upright Freezers

Nordic Lab represents a series of Chest & Upright single-compressor Low Temperature freezers – covering temperatures from -10°C to -86°C. The product range matches all requirements and demands for laboratories, hospitals and research institutions in terms of length of storage, sensitivity and type of samples etc. The Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) freezers -86°C meets the ultimate demands for long-term storage of the most sensitive articles and samples.

Vaccine Storage

Although many vaccines at stored between +2°C and +8°C, there are also vaccines stored at -20°C and even newer vaccines that need to stored at ultra-low temperatures (-80°C). What is common in each situation is they have to reliably stay at the desired temperature and are organized for easy access and management - all the while ensuring the vaccine Cold Chain is not broken.

Incubators for your Clinical Lab

CO2 Incubator

CO2 incubators are used for conducting cell culture and tissue culture applications. CO2 incubators are available with either thermal conductivity (TC) or infrared (IR) CO2 sensors. Both respond quickly to changes in CO2 levels and help provide excellent CO2 control. The TC sensor is recommended for application in which chamber temperature and humidity are relatively constant; the IR sensor is more suitable for applications where temperature and humidity levels are frequently changing.

Refrigerated incubator with shaking function HATCHMASTER

Life Science Spectrophotometer

Meslo M-Drop XF Nano UV/Vis Spectrophotometer & Fluorescence

MESLO top-of-the-line spectrophotometer can perform UV-Vis readings in the range of 200-800nm and fluorescence readings as well.

The M-Drop XF features predefined programs from nucleic acids, proteins, and various colorimetric assays. The patented, motorized system gently stretches the sample providing accurate readings of samples from 0.5 to 2.0µl without dilution. With a full-colour, 7” touchscreen with icon-driven menus and preprogrammed protocols, the M-Drop XF gets users up and running quickly.

The integrated fluorometer yields more accurate, sensitive and selective quantitation of nucleic acids. The blue light channel (460nm) is useful for detecting dyes such as Picogreen, RiboGreen, GFP, and fluorescein.

Jenway UV/visible spectrophotometer

The Jenway Genova Bio is a simple, low cost, easy to use UV/visible spectrophotometer; dedicated for life science applications. The fast, responsive colour touchscreen and pre-programmed methods for the measurement of nucleic acid concentration and purity, protein assays and cell density, makes this spectrophotometer the ideal addition to any laboratory.

The Jenway Genova Bio utilises diode array technology to scan the entire wavelength range (198 to 800nm) in less than 3 seconds and the narrow spectral bandwidth of 3nm, makes it ideal to identify peaks for determining nucleic acid purity. The 1024 element diode array detector coupled with a flash xenon lamp results in a long life, robust spectrophotometer. Covered by a two-year warranty which includes the xenon lamp.

The Nucleic Acids measurement mode can be used to quantify the concentration and purity of dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA and oligonucleotides; using wavelengths recorded at 260, 280 and 230nm, with an optional correction at 320nm. The concentration is calculated along with the corresponding ratios. At the touch of a button it is easy to check the purity of the nucleic acids. This is done by identifying distorted peaks in the purity scan between 200 and 350nm. This is especially useful for RNA samples where impurities maybe present at 230nm, but cannot be detected using the 260/ 280nm ratio measurement.

The Proteins measurement mode can be used to calculate protein concentration by creating standard curves from protein assay kits. With pre-programmed methods for measuring Bradford, Lowry, Biuret and Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) assays; up to 6 standards can be measured with 3 replicates of each standard to minimise any dilution errors. The Proteins measurement mode is also pre-programmed with the Direct UV and Warburg-Christian methods to determine protein purity.

The Genova Bio has a pre-programmed method for measuring optical density of bacterial cultures such as E.Coli and yeast cells. This is ideal to measure cell growth before cell harvesting.

Rollers & Rotators

Rollers

A roller mixer is ideal for gentle mixing action. It consists of a number of motor driven rollers which rotate at either a fixed or variable speed. When the samples are placed between these rollers samples, typically in tubes or bottles, are rolled gently. During this rolling action, simultaneously a rocking action is applied whereby the rollers are gently raised and lowered at one end. This increases the effectiveness of the mixing whilst still providing a subtle action. Ideal for mixing blood samples, viscous substances and liquid-solid suspensions where minimum aeration is required or for aiding de-frosting of samples

Rotators
Mixing by rotation is more vigorous than a roller mixer, typically the sample, in either tubes or bottles, are turn end-over-end. Rotators can be based on a rotisserie type design whereby a single axis is rotated and samples are attached to this by a variety of different methods. Alternatively, a rotator can take the form of a disk rotated around its central point; samples are attached to the edge of the disk, this form of rotator is less vigorous than the rotisserie style as the angle of the disk can be lowered to lessen the end over end action. Speed adjustment is available in both types to alter the severity of the mixing action. Ideal for aerating cultures, keeping biological samples in suspension and for general mixing applications including smaller samples held in 1.5ml micro tubes.
