  • Perfect Mini Vortexer for Benchtop Mixing

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    When vortexing small volumes (microcentrifuge tubes), this thing is perfect. It takes up nearly no bench top space and allows me to rapidly mix a sample in no time by simply holding it down on top. We have about six of these and have never had one break in the years we have been using them. read more

  • Powerful Digital Microscope

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    A very powerful microscope with a touchscreen monitor makes viewing a streamlined process. Being able to easily capture images and save on a thumbdrive makes analyses simple and allows me to more efficiently move through samples. read more

  • Reliable Plate Shaker

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    This shaker has a large speed range and can run on a timer. I like how the timer is loud enough to hear across the lab. It also does not take up a large space on the bench. I also like how there are a number of attachments to hold varying things. I know we can use this in incubator and refrigerated ... read more

  • Long-Lasting and Reliable Vortex

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    This vortex has been a staple in our lab longer than I can remember! The vortex has gone through a lot, being used almost every day. Whether we use it for biological samples or simple solution preparation, the many settings on the vortex make it suitable. We also have some off-market attachments for... read more

  • Robust and Reliable Microcentrifuge

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    We use this centrifuge a lot for human plasma preparation. While we don't always use the thermostat control option, it has always been reliable and is a great feature to have. Every so often, I have been limited by the number of slots for microcentrifuge tubes, but that is this product's only ... read more

  • Did Not Last Long in Our Lab - Mini Centrifuge

    Monday, December 18, 2023
    We had bought four of these and used them somewhat frequently in routine procedures. However, after around a year, one had an issue where the lid had to manually be held down to operate. Shortly after, the rotor on another stopped operating. While the other two still work, we expected more shelf-... read more

  • Great Value Buffer

    Monday, December 18, 2023
    We do not often use HEPES buffer, so this product has been great value for us. We order as low as 20 mL and then are able to store for up to 24 months, making this the perfect volume for our limited need. The formula allows for dilution, making it suitable for varying needs. read more

  • Straight Forward and Easy to Use Dry Block Heater

    Monday, December 18, 2023
    We have several of these in lab and use them very routinely for solution making. The thermostat function is very fast acting, however we only use this mode in low temperatures. Overall, these have held up well in the lab. read more

  • Sturdy Bags With a Good Seal

    Monday, December 18, 2023
    We have never used these for true crime scene quality storage, however, we have stored a variety of materials in these for extended periods and in variable conditions without experiencing compromise in the bag or seal. read more

  • Accurate Tips for Very Low Volume Pipetting

    Tuesday, June 20, 2023
    I choose these tips over all others for low volume pipetting as the included barrier ensures that there is no unintentional retention. I always get very accurate data when I prepare samples with these tips and have never seen any visible retention with any solution despite its viscosity or ... read more
