Twin column test stands
09 June, 2009 | SI Instruments
Mecmesin twin column testing frames provide the opportunity to test physically larger specimens and apply loads up to 25 kN. The increased load allows samples up to 400 mm wide and 950 mm high to be accommodated. Each test frame has been designed to deliver high stiffness — often necessary in high load, low elongation testing applications — and are driven by twin, pre-loaded, synchronised ballscrews.
Electroporation system cuvette
09 June, 2009 | Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd
Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the Gene Pulser MXcell ShockPod cuvette chamber for its Gene Pulser MXcell electroporation system. The ShockPod offers researchers the flexibility to easily transition between electroporation plates and familiar cuvettes on the Gene Pulser MXcell electroporation system.
Automated diluting and pipetting
09 June, 2009 | ALPE Pty Ltd
The WellPro 3000 liquid handling device facilitates high-throughput screening as it can operate in either a 12-channel mode for 96-well plates or 24-channel for 384-well plates.
