How a Refrigerated Centrifuge Can Help You Save Samples

Cold Spins, Clear Results: Every Sample, Every Time In every sophisticated medical lab setup, the safety and integrity of bio-samples are a key concern. It doesn't matter if you're processing blood, DNA, proteins, enzymes—temperature control is key, and is the reason a refrigerated centrifuge becomes a necessity. Not like normal centrifuges, the refrigerated centrifuge s pins as well as chill samples at a rapid speed. This is crucial for temperature sensitive compounds that degrade if subjected to heat. Typical refrigerated centrifuge applications include separating plasma from whole blood, preparing cell lysates and separating cell bodies and their membranes (P.M. drafting note: no idea if the above is classified as cell fractions). Among the lesser-known cooling centrifuge uses is the benefit in microbiology and molecular biology labs, where enzymes, and other active proteins need to maintain stability. These apparatuses run at the best low temperatures during the entire op...

What Are the Best Science Microscopes for Beginners?

What Are the Best Science Microscopes for Beginners?  Myth becomes quite tidy when under the scrutiny of a science microscope. W hether you are a student, amateur hobbyist or aspiring life sciences researcher, getting the right microscope makes all the difference in how you interpret the microscopic universe. If you are a novice star gazer, the point here as a beginner is to get something that is easy to use, durable, and offers clear magnification without spending a fortune. Key Features to Look For Stereo microscopes are great for looking at larger specimens such as insects or bits of plants; while compound microscopes a re depictions of a variety of models giving you the ability to see things up close such as cell and bacteria. Top Beginner Microscopes Novus Lab Scope 40X-1000X - T his one is great for beginners of sciences. With several levels of magnification, as well as LED illumination and an adjustable stage, this one’s wonderful for biology students and/or hobbyists. And...
