A Guide To Centrifuge And Microcentrifuge

Image
  Centrifuges Centrifuges are large machines used to separate larger volumes of samples. They can be benchtop models, depending on the laboratory’s requirements. Centrifuges typically have a higher capacity than microcentrifuges and can accommodate larger volumes of samples. They also have higher speed capabilities, which means they can spin samples at higher speeds and generate more centrifugal force. They are commonly used in clinical laboratories, where they are used to separate blood components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma. They are also used in research labs to separate proteins, nucleic acids, and other cellular components. Factors to consider when selecting a centrifuge include the maximum speed, the maximum capacity, and the number and type of rotors that the centrifuge can accommodate. Other factors to consider include the noise level, the ease of use, and the price. Microcentrifuges Microcentrifuges are smaller, benchtop models that are used to s...

How to Choose the Right Dry Bath for Your Lab: Everything You Need to Know - Neuation

Image
  Laboratory dry baths are essential scientific tools that enable users to conduct experiments and tests at precise temperatures by creating a controlled temperature environment. These devices are typically designed with a stainless steel chamber equipped with a sealed microprocessor control unit and a user-friendly digital interface located on the exterior front. The top of the chamber contains an embedded aluminium heat block(s) that facilitates sample incubation and temperature regulation. The heat block in a dry bath is linked to the heating control unit and features multiple conical pockets of varying sizes. These pockets are designed to accommodate sample containers of different sizes and allow users to conveniently incubate their samples at their desired temperature. Modern dry baths are predominantly digital, featuring microchip technology that enables users to set precise temperature points and monitor real-time temperature fluctuations through an intuitive touchscreen use...
