Laboratory Products 43 Safe, portable, and trackable cryogenic transport


Azenta Life Sciences has developed the CryoPod™ Carrier - a lightweight, handheld solution for the secure transport of temperature-sensitive biological samples. Delivering cryogenic protection below -150 °C for over three hours, the CryoPod Carrier offers portability, safety, and temperature traceability across the critical last mile of the cold chain.


Maintaining cold-chain integrity during sample transfers between labs or storage facilities can be a major challenge, particularly for high-value or temperature-critical biomaterials. The CryoPod Carrier addresses this risk by preventing transient warming events that could compromise sample quality or viability.


Weighing under 6 kg, the compact CryoPod Carrier is engineered for short-range sample transport within or between labs. Unlike improvised solutions or dry ice alternatives, it ensures samples remain in a validated cryogenic environment throughout the journey - while monitoring and logging key data such as internal temperature, time, and date.


The CryoPod Carrier integrates seamlessly into laboratory workflows and supports regulatory compliance by storing a full event log that can be downloaded for audit purposes. An onboard display and alarms offer real-time visibility of cryogenic conditions, giving researchers peace of mind that their materials remain protected.


For added convenience and user safety, Azenta also offers an automated filling station. This accessory enables hands-free liquid nitrogen refills in under 15 minutes - reducing exposure and enhancing lab efficiency.

Accelerating glycobiology research with Heparan Sulfate antibodies


Choosing the right autoclave for your lab


Selecting the right autoclave for your lab is a major decision. If built well, an autoclave can last beyond the foreseeable future. Designed for laboratories that require robust, reliable and high-efficiency steam sterilisation repeatedly, Priorclave’s autoclaves have a well-earned reputation for quality. The forward-thinking modular design of their autoclaves ensures that it can be upgraded to remain current, which is a valuable consideration.


Priorclave’s Base range covers, as one might expect, ‘the basics’: media preparation, waste loads, and sterilising loose instruments, open containers and labware.


Their Smart range is intended for industrial, research and production labs; suitable for facilities that have more diverse needs. This range of autoclaves can handle all standard tasks (e.g., media prep, waste loads, labware) but also produce drier loads and more reliably handle complex loads that tend to trap air.


The Performance range is designed for high throughput operation (more than four complete cycles every day) and is especially capable of dealing with more challenging loads and items. These jacketed autoclaves are quick to heat and cool rapidly, enabling them to produce drier loads more quickly and reliably, at a lower cost than many comparable sterilisers. This affordable solution enables the most modest lab access to the highest capacity and performance steam autoclaves available.


AMSBIO is helping to advance glycobiology research by supplying a trusted portfolio of high-affinity Heparan Sulfate (HS) monoclonal antibodies, now widely used in leading research laboratories around the world.


Heparan Sulfate is a complex polysaccharide found on cell surfaces and within basement membranes across mammalian tissues. It plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes by mediating interactions with a wide array of proteins. However, due to its weak immunogenicity, producing effective, reliable antibodies against HS has long posed a challenge for researchers.


AMSBIO has addressed this with a dedicated range of hybridoma-derived anti-HS antibodies, including popular clones such as 10E4, 3G10, and JM403. Known for their high specificity, sensitivity, and strong binding affinity, these antibodies are extensively validated for accuracy in detecting and quantifying Heparan Sulfate on cell surfaces. Suitable for use across multiple model species, they have become valuable tools in studies ranging from viral pathogenesis to cancer biology and immune system research.


To further support reliable data generation, AMSBIO recommends pairing its Heparan Sulfate antibodies with CELLBANKER®


cryopreservation media. This


helps preserve cell surface HS expression, ensuring experimental reproducibility in downstream analyses.


Alongside its antibody portfolio, AMSBIO is also working to raise awareness of the growing importance of glycobiology. The company recently partnered with Dr Doug Dyer, immunology researcher at the University of Manchester, UK, to publish an informative blog exploring how glycobiology - once considered the ‘dark matter’ of biology - is now reshaping our understanding of key biological mechanisms. The article, complete with recent research examples, can be read at: Sweet Science blog: ilmt.co/PL/lKAj


By combining robust research tools with educational resources, AMSBIO is helping researchers unlock new insights into glycobiology and the pivotal role of Heparan Sulfate in health and disease.

Whichever range you choose, all of Priorclave’s autoclaves are fitted with their exclusive Tactrol®


3 control system, enabling complex


programmes to be run with just the press of a single push-button start, even whilst gloved.


To further enhance the longevity and performance of your autoclave, every exterior epoxy-coated surface has antimicrobial protection incorporated into it; ensuring surfaces remain cleaner for longer, thereby reducing the risk of microbial growth and cross-contamination.

Universal peristaltic tubing simplifies solvent handling in flow chemistry


Vapourtec has launched a new high-performance peristaltic pump tube, engineered from a proprietary composite material to offer exceptional chemical resistance across a wide spectrum of challenging solvents and reagents. Known as the ‘black’ tube, this innovation simplifies reagent handling by enabling a


single tubing solution for multiple applications, removing the need to switch between materials.


Manufactured using a PTFE-reinforced perfluoroelastomer, the black tube delivers broad compatibility with aggressive chemicals, including organometallics such as BuLi and LDA, as well as concentrated acids like trifluoroacetic (TFA), nitric, formic, sulphuric, and hydrochloric acid. It also withstands demanding organic solvents such as THF, DMF and DMSO, making it a versatile option for complex flow chemistry and peptide synthesis workflows.


Traditionally, Vapourtec systems relied on two different tubing materials to cover a wide chemical range. The new black tube overcomes these limitations by offering a single, universal alternative capable of handling 90% or more of the solvent systems typically used in flow chemistry - all while supporting pressures up to 10 bar.


The development of this tubing builds on Vapourtec’s extensive expertise in peristaltic pumping technology, with compatibility across the company’s entire portfolio, including the E-Series, the R2S pump module, SF-10 and SF-10+ standalone pumps, and the Peptide-Builder.


Vapourtec Managing Director Duncan Guthrie explained: “The black tube is the result of a fortunate meeting with a materials specialist from a global leader in advanced composites. Their input enabled us to develop a robust, chemically resistant tubing solution that answers one of our most frequent customer requests - a truly universal peristaltic tube.”


This breakthrough is expected to streamline experimental setups, reduce downtime and consumables costs, and offer greater flexibility to users dealing with a wide variety of chemistries.
