Sample Preparation & Processing


Shaker designed for CO2 incubators


Celshak is a small, stainless steel shaker specially designed for use in CO2 incubators. The stainless steel housing with a separate controller, makes it perfect for shaking cell cultures.


Wiggens presents three models of shaker for CO2 incubators with highest quality design utilising non-belt magnetic drive technology, which allows for high performance of water resistance. The gentle drive unit features exceptionally smooth start-up and braking behaviour, and has improved oxygen transfer and homogeneous availability of the nutrients in the culture medium. This ensures significantly better culture growth than in static cell cultures. With ultra-low power consumption, it prevents any additional heating inside the incubator.


The entire housing of shaker is made of stainless steel (SUS304), meeting the demand of GMP’s cleaning requirements and its corrosion resistant feature is ideal for using in CO2 incubators. It is easy to remove any unwanted liquids and can be cleaned with chemicals.


The thin wire cable connection between the shaker and the control box can pass through the sealing part of the inner glass door, if no access port is available within your incubator.

Sample evaporation and concentration are critical steps in many R&D workfl ows, but ineffi ciencies can slow processes and impact results. The miVac centrifugal evaporator/concentrator range, available from Biopharma Group in the UK and Ireland, is engineered to overcome these challenges with superior performance, reliability, and ease of use.


A key innovation in the miVac range is the SpeedTrap™ condenser, which effi ciently captures solvent vapours before they reach the pump. Unlike traditional bowl condensers that rely on glycol and multiple heat transfer layers, SpeedTrap™ ensures direct vapour contact with the cooling coil, improving condensation effi ciency. This design reduces maintenance, extends pump lifespan, and enhances solvent recovery, all while minimising environmental impact.


Another standout feature is the precisely controlled evaporation chamber. Unlike many competitors that offer broad temperature adjustments, the miVac allows for fi ne-tuned settings, ensuring optimal conditions for different solvents. The system also includes aluminium monoblock rotors - far superior to plastic alternatives in heat conduction - resulting in faster evaporation times and greater consistency.


To further refi ne performance, the miVac features a pressure regulator and ramp control, preventing solvent bumping and optimising vapor capture. For those working with aqueous samples, an optional freeze-drying kit expands its versatility, allowing small-scale lyophilisation alongside evaporation processes.


Compact, effi cient, and cost-effective, the miVac is an essential tool for labs looking to streamline evaporation and concentration workfl ows. Whether handling DNA, RNA, or complex solvent mixtures, the miVac delivers consistent, high-quality results.

63962pr@reply-direct.com Automated sample prep enhances LC/GC cannabis analysis


Tecan introduces the Resolvex Prep, an ideal solution for automating cannabis analysis workflows while using the same labware as manual processes. This platform offers automated syringe change, a wash station, and the ability to pipette into/out of septa-sealed vials, all while precisely handling solvents used in LC/LCMS and GC/GCMS analysis.


Starting with weighed cannabis flowers, the Resolvex Prep automates the entire sample preparation process of extraction, filtration, and final solution preparation, directly into 2 mL autosampler vials, for subsequent chromatographic analysis.


Recent demonstrations have shown excellent performance compared to the previous GMP-validated manual protocol, achieving THCA concentrations of approximately 25.4% and a recovery rate of 99.1% along with a 97.5% recovery rate for terpenoids, confirming the method’s reliability and efficiency.


The Resolvex Prep is capable of handling a wide range of sample matrices including plants, water and soil. It supports various extraction methods, such as SPE and LLE, enhancing its adaptability for diverse applications.
