  • Upgraded Tubes for PBMCs Isolation

    Friday, January 27, 2023
    Excellent tubes for PBMCs isolation from whole blood; we found it very effective also with cytapheresis residues (pelleted cells). We replaced our standard Ficoll procedure (low centrifuge acceleration/no brakes) with these new columns and we saved a lot of time, especially when processing sensitive... read more
  • Not Very Effective Concentration Filters

    Thursday, January 26, 2023
    We opted for these 100KDa membranes to concentrate soluble protein of about 180KDa. We were quite confident following the 90% IgG (150KDa) recovery rate assured by the manufacturer, but the results were very deceiving and we lost a lot of time before noticing that most of the protein flowed through ... read more
  • Very Versatile Rotator/Shaker for Cold Room

    Wednesday, January 25, 2023
    Very useful mini rotator. Despite the small size, it can hold different tube sizes (from small 0.5 mL tubes up to 50 mL tubes) and can fit a shaking platform. Many different programs for rotation/shaking are proposed, even too many. We chose it because it can be used in a cold environment and we had... read more
  • Excellent Stirring Hotplate

    Friday, January 20, 2023
    Small and well-performing hotplate with stirring option. The parameters are very simple to adjust (heat and stirring speed) and it can rapidly reach very high temperatures, around 500°C. Small plus: sounds alarm when the ceramic plate reaches the target temperature. read more
  • Good Thermal Shaker

    Tuesday, January 10, 2023
    Entry price thermal shaker. We opted for this model because of the interesting price and the possibility to replace the tube holder with different plates (0.2/0.5/1.5/2 mL, ELISA plate, small waterbath...) PROS: - easy to adjust parameters (speed, temperature and time) - relatively small size ... read more
  • Great and Compact Aspiration System

    Wednesday, January 04, 2023
    Nice and compact bench vacuum system. The aspiration system is very silent and the vacuum sensor turns off the engine if negative pressure is reached. Huge improvement from the noisy and larger pumps we owned before. It also comes with different adapters from single to multichannel tips. read more
  • Excellent Thermocycler

    Tuesday, December 20, 2022
    Very good thermocycler for routine PCR (genotyping, cloning, incubation etc.), as well as for more sensitive protocols, i.e. single-cell library preparation. Much cheaper compared with the more famous competitors, it still performs very well after 2 years of routine use and no structural maintenance... read more
  • Affordable and Reliable Balance

    Monday, December 19, 2022
    This is a bench balance that combines good performance and a reasonable price. The display includes a second line of information, providing complete data on the weighing and different parameters. The maximum capacity of 120 g and the sensitivity of 0.001 g makes this balance perfect for almost every... read more
  • Simple and Reliable

    Friday, December 16, 2022
    Affordable tube rotator that can fit everywhere, including cold rooms or refrigerators. Very easy to use, it comes with different holders, from 0.5 mL to 50 mL tubes, that can be arranged at different angles. The minimal screen still provides different modes of rotating. read more
  • Excellent Benchtop Refrigerated Centrifuge

    Thursday, December 15, 2022
    Eppendorf quality always meets expectations. We purchased this centrifuge to replace an older one out of order and we were not disappointed: fast cooling or warming back, compact design and solid structure. Different resellers might also provide good reductions, it is worth to inquire around. read more
