Sample Prep Kit Provides Unparalleled Benefits Compared to Other Commercially Available DNA/RNA Extraction Systems
Cole-Parmer, a leading supplier of laboratory equipment and reagents, is introducing the Arcis Sample Preparation System, which can extract DNA and RNA for downstream processes such as PCR/qPCR and sequencing in just three minutes. A study conducted by the Institute of Infection and Global Health, University of Liverpool, compared the preparation time, DNA yield, PCR and qPCR results of the Arcis Sample Prep Kit with three other kits. The results showed that the Arcis Sample Prep Kit dramatically accelerates pre- analytical sample prep without compromising the quantity and quality of genomic material.
The study showed that competitor preparation kits’ processing times ranged from 20 minutes to 4 hours as they require timely washing, heating and centrifugation steps in order to extract DNA. However, the Arcis Sample Prep Kit required no further instrumentation and was unrivalled as the fastest extraction kit, with a sample processing time of under three minutes. The kit that produced the highest yields was the most labour-intensive and time consuming, and its high yields were very variable. The Arcis Sample Prep Kit produced either greater or equal DNA yields in comparison to the remaining competitors’ kits, and these yields were obtained in a fraction of the time.
Due to its rapid extraction speed of both DNA and RNA, and overall simplicity, the Arcis Sample Prep Kit will save time and money for labs of all sizes. The Kit can be easily integrated into automated systems, and is also ideal for use with Cole-Parmer’s PCR and qPCR hardware and reagents, such as the pathogen detection kits.
The Arcis Sample Prep Kit is a ready-to-use kit that has the dual capability of extracting both DNA and RNA from a wide range of sample types, requiring as little as 30 µl of whole blood, plasma, urine, bacteria, viruses, and parasites as a starting material. The extraction kit consists of a two-step protocol that is completed in just three minutes, massively simplifying the workflow to provide high quality, PCR-ready templates immediately suitable for downstream molecular investigations.

Micro Fitting for Microfluidics Applications Announced The Click-N-Seal®
Micro torque-control fitting from Diba Industries, Inc is available in 6-40 threaded fittings and adds significant value
to systems requiring smaller fluid connections. Available for both ferrule and flared connections, the 6-40 Click-N-Seal Micro easily and securely connects 1/16” tubing into 6-40 threaded ports, which are becoming increasingly common as sample sizes get smaller.
As the fitting is hand tightened, the resistance of the cap increases until the correct torque is reached, at which point the cap clicks, indicating that the fitting is properly seated. This creates a secure and leak-free seal every time without the risk of over-tightening. Click- N-Seal Micro fittings feature PEEK™ construction for high chemical resistance and can be unscrewed and reused multiple times.
“Prior to Diba inventing and patenting the Click-N-Seal line of fittings, making precision fluid connections reliable and repeatable had been problematic. The 6-40 Click-N-Seal Micro helps system manufacturers with reliability and performance,” said Gary Helstern, Vice President, Technology and Product Development at Diba.
Ferrule options are available for both conical and flat bottom ports as off-the-shelf products. Flared tube and fittings are also offered for flat bottomed ports on a custom, OEM basis. A custom wrench is available to tighten the fitting in hard to reach places.

New Uncompromising Solution for the Most Demanding Dispensing Applications
Bottletop dispensers are needed in any lab where aggressive solutions like lyes, acids, bases or solvents are dispensed from large supply bottles. Bottletop dispensers need to be universally applicable and of uncompromising quality.
As a specialist for Liquid Handling laboratory products, Eppendorf has enhanced the proven quality and technology of the previous models in many details to develop the new models Varispenser 2 and Varispenser 2x. Thanks to the proven positive displacement principle, loss of residue is almost completely avoided. This technology combined with the high chemical resistance of all components that might come into contact with aggressive liquids allows the use of Varispenser 2 and Varispenser 2x with almost all liquids commonly used in labs. Accessories such as an easily assembled drying tube, a filter or a flexible discharge tube enable a broad range of dispensing options. All devices are equipped with standard GL 45 threads and can be used with almost all kinds of threads used in labs thanks to the additional adapters included in the scope of delivery.
The oval-shaped housing and the new design of the slider and the valve toggle of Varispenser 2x emphasise the modernity of the devices while ensuring optimal handling.
