Laboratory Products 71 Clean-room Workbench Eliminates Particles


No matter whether it be the semiconductor fabrication or medical or pharmaceuticals industries, many sectors are attaching increasing importance to producing and manufacturing components in a clean, particle-free environment. The primary fields of application for the Spetec clean-room workbench or mini environment are in the optical, electronic and mechanical industries. The clean-room workbench can be tailored to meet customer needs and the required clean room class. In other words, the size, features and design of the workbench are adapted as required.


As a rule, the unit is made from special aluminium profiles suitable for use in clean rooms. The side walls can be made from glass or acrylic glass, or the box can be surrounded by a strip curtain. A laminar flow module is then fitted at the top, which delivers class 5 clean room conditions inside the box. This corresponds to a mere 100 0.5 µm particles. Compared with an approximate particle count of 1 million per cubic foot in a typical office or laboratory, this represents a 10 000-fold increase in air quality.


The key difference compared with a Spetec Laminar Flow Box (FBS Series, table unit) lies in the fact that the size and features of the clean-room workbench can be fully tailored to the needs of the customer, for instance in respect of the choice of work surface, which is available as perforated steel, stainless steel or hard laminate. The result is a self-contained, tailored clean-room workbench.

Organoid Cryopreservation Handbook


AMSBIO has published an informative handbook for scientists who need to preserve or archive organoids in a research lab. The handbook brings together published paper citations, quotes and data from leading international research groups who are using the CELLBANKER®


range


of products to cryopreserve their organoids simply and safely. In addition, the handbook includes best practice protocols plus information making it easier to understand the process of freezing organoids and to choose the optimum cryopreservation media for your application.


Proven capable of recreating aspects of organ structure and function in vivo, organoids are organ-like structures that can be prepared by 3D cell culture and differentiation of stem cells or organ progenitors. Organoids are proving increasingly popular because they maintain genetic information, are CRISPR compatible, expand tractable cell line availability, make sharing libraries easier and are proving useful in drug sensitivity assays. Consequently, use of organoid culture models is now widespread in areas including organogenesis models, drug testing, tumour/disease/infection models, toxicity screening as well as personalised & regenerative medicine.


The CELLBANKER®


validated for cryopreservation of organoids. As a cell freezing medium, CELLBANKER® freezer or storage in liquid nitrogen to guarantee efficient cell storage. This makes CELLBANKER® media.


STEM CELLBANKER®


series of easy-to-use cell cryopreservation media offer superior protection against cell stress during freeze/thaw cycles and have been does not require a gradual temperature decrease in a programmed more affordable and accessible than other cell freezing


is a GMP-compliant, chemically defined freezing medium with formulation optimised for storage of stem and iPS cells and organoids. Supplied ready-to-use with a simple usage


protocol, STEM CELLBANKER is completely free of serum and animal derived components and contains only Pharmacopoeia graded ingredients. STEM CELLBANKER significantly increases cell viability while maintaining cell pluripotency, normal karyotype and proliferation ability following resuscitation from cryopreservation, even after extended long-term storage.

59308pr@reply-direct.com Purge Function Enhances Density Meter Cleaning


Special attention is needed when it comes to cleaning the measurement cell and tubing of oscillation type density meters after the measurement of viscous or otherwise hard to remove samples. In addition to liquid cleaning operations that use solvents such as water and ethanol, Kyoto Electronics Manufacturing’s DA-800 series of density meters also employ a ‘Purge’ operation, that helps evacuate sample matter from the cell and tubing by directing air through the system. This Purge function is very useful in a number of scenarios.


Viscous and otherwise hard to clean samples are difficult to remove with a single cycle of liquid cleansing, requiring extra time and solvent for their full discharge. You can decrease this time by using the Purge function following measurement to expel sample from the system in preparation for cleansing with solvent. This will also help you to reduce the amount of solvent you use, benefiting the environment and your wallet alike.


In some applications, it is desirable to perform post-measurement cleaning using sample liquid instead of solvent cleansers. In doing so though, you risk contaminating your next measurement specimen with that of the sample liquid used for washing. Using the Purge function following the liquid clean in this scenario will virtually eliminate the risk for contamination.


Kyoto Electronics Manufacturing’s DA-800 Density Meter family will save you precious time and money, so that your laboratory can operate with higher efficiency.

Instant Noise Reduction for Pneumatic Equipment Offering excellent sound attenuation properties, new Vyon®


escaping to the atmosphere is reduced to a safe decibel level.


Many industrial organisations use the power of compressed air in pneumatic equipment including blast cleaners, drills, forging pressures and paint sprayers. A notable drawback of pneumatic equipment is their loud operating noise. To reduce the ambient noise from your pneumatic equipment to safe, workable levels it is vital they are fitted with effective silencers.


is a porous permeable plastic made from high density polyethylene using a proprietary powder sintering process. Using this high-performance material, Porvair Sciences manufactures effective noise attenuation devices (silencers) to fit almost any pneumatic equipment. Each Vyon®


Vyon® silencer is comprised of a sintered polyethylene body


moulded to a high-density polyethylene adapter with British Standard Pipe (BSP) M5 connections or easy-to-use push-in connectors. Once a silencer is fitted, compressed air escapes to the atmosphere by expanding through the porous body of the device. Vyon®


silencers can reduce the noise from a single unsilenced exhaust port from about 90 decibels to between 60 and 70 decibels. Noise at 90


decibels level corresponds to the noise produced by a heavy truck or underground train passing at a distance of a few feet. It is widely acknowledged that such decibel levels are dangerous, and people should not be exposed to this level of noise for any length of time. By comparison, 60 decibels correspond to the level of noise from a normal conversation at 3 feet distance and consequently is completely safe.


Manufactured in an attractive grey body / black adaptor design, Vyon® manufacturers on short deliveries. Custom Vyon®
