XL plate freezer
Austrian-headquartered biopharma expert, Single Use Support, has released an add- on of its plate freezing platform for very large volumes:
RoSS.pFTU XL is a high-performance freezer for large batches of biopharmaceutical products. The new solution can cope with up to 500L per batch and is designed to be integrated in precision
New tube cap carriers
Micronic has launched a complete line of automation friendly screw cap carriers. The cap carriers are fully compatible with the automated screw cap capping and decapping equipment offered by Micronic.
Based on the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (ANSI/ SLAS) standards, the screw cap carriers accommodate 96-, 48-, and 24-well format screw caps. The disposable cap carriers are compatible with all Micronic screw caps for both internally and externally threaded tubes. They are ideal to use for decapping and recapping sample storage tubes. Users can easily remove the screw caps from the tubes and place them in the carrier while researching the samples within the tubes. When the sample can be stored again, it is easy to recap the sample storage tubes again with - for example - a CS700 automated screw cap recapper. Simply place the cap carrier with screw caps in the recapper. It will load the screw caps in the machine. Then place the rack with tubes and get a fully capped rack in return.
fermentation and other large-scale biopharmaceutical processes. The innovation of the device is based on plate freezing of multiple 50L single-use bags, making plate freezing technology accessible in the processing of such volumes. Previously, the industry was limited to often less suitable options, such as blast freezing or spray drying.
CHILLING INCUBATORS
Torrey Pines Scientific has launched its new EchoTherm stackable/programmable vibration-free chilling incubators for protein crystallography and other life science uses. The incubators are 27 litre
capacity and Peltier-based for heating and chilling. They have no compressors or CFCs and are vibration-free making them ideal for doing protein crystallography. Other applications include
enzyme reactions, hybridisations, ligations, storing oocytes and general lab incubations.
