Nanolyzer, high-pressure homogenizer is equipped with a hydraulic power system, which supplies pressurized hydraulic oil to a single acting intensifier pump. The intensifier pump amplifies the hydraulic pressure and transfers it to the liquid pressure of the product. Using high pressure (10-25 Kpsi) to squeeze the cells from the micro-flow channel after the rapid decompression. The pressurized product enters the diamond chamber with fixed geometrically micro-channels, causing the product to accelerate to high velocity which brings about the desired results of shear, impact, and cavitation. NanoLyzer is widely applied to particle size reduction, such as bacteria, cells, yeast, etc., to release the intracellular material.

The Minstrel DT UV is an ultraviolet and visible crystal imaging and protein crystal monitoring system. It automatically images crystallization experiments and links images with crystallization conditions. This robotic instrument is a major advance over previous visible light microscopy technology because its UV technology can find crystals in complex drops and easily distinguish protein crystals from non-protein crystals (such as salt).

Flexible and intuitive chromatography system for fast purification of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids from microgram to gram levels of target product. Affinity Chromatography, Gel Filtration/ Size Exclusion Chromatography, Ion Exchange Chromatography , Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography and Reversed Phase Chromatography (RPC). ÄKTA™ avant is a preparative chromatography system with flow rates up to 25 ml/min is designed for process development, method optimization, and scale-up. Integrated fraction collector with cooling functionality protects purified samples. Automatic on –line buffer preparation using BufferPro reduces the time required for buffer blending and manual titration, increasing your productivity. UNICORN software is used to control automated processes on ÄKTA™ avant to increase productivity and efficiency. Design of Experiments (DoE), an experimental design tool, provides time and cost savings by capturing more precise information in fewer experiments. ÄKTA™ avant offers a complete solution for fast, high-quality protein separations while maintaining reliability and increasing process knowledge.

The NGC Discover 10 System is designed for high-resolution separations for any application. This chromatography system may be used for method development and optimization, combining a multi-wavelength detector, automated buffer blending with buffer inlets, a column switching valve, and a sample pump for expanded condition scouting options during the purification of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. The NGC Discover 10 system allows automated buffer blending via the buffer blending valves and salt gradients via the buffer inlet valves. The pH valve enables pH measurement and ensures full control of your conditions, while the sample pump enables automated unattended loading of multiple large sample volumes using the sample inlet valve on up to five columns connected to the column switching valve. Fractionated samples can easily be collected using the BioFrac fraction collector. This system has applied a C96 autosampler and a fluorescence detector for high-throughput condition screening and detecting fluorescence protein.

High-speed centrifuge is used for sample preliminary purification, which used for large sample volume, and less purity. Select the appropriate rotor and centrifuge tubes, so you can get better experimental results. The load in a laboratory centrifuge must be balanced carefully. This imbalanced force the spindle and may result in damage to the centrifuge or personal injury.

• Fixed Angle Rotor (designated Type)—-are general-purpose rotors that are mainly used for pelleting subcellular particles and in short-column banding of viruses and subcellular organelles.
• Vertical-Tube rotor (designated V)—-are used for pelleting, separation of density and sedimentation coefficient.
• Swinging-Bucket Rotor (designated SW)—-are hold tubes parallel to the axis of rotation, used for isopycnic and, in some cases, rate zonal separations when run time reduction is important.
• Near-Vertical Rotor (designated NV)—-are designed for gradient centrifugation when there are components in a sample mixture that do not participate in the gradient.

Selection of a rotor depends on a variety of conditions, such as sample volumn, number of sample components to get separated, particle size, desired run time, desired quality of separation, type of separation, and the centrifuge in use.

The Optima MAX-TL can be used in applications including separation of subcellular particles, viruses and viral particles, rate-zonal separation of proteins in sucrose gradient, separation of lipoproteins, pelleting of RNA through a CsCl gradient, isopycnic separation of plasmid DNA and others. With a maximum speed of 120,000 rpm and maximum rcf of 657,000 x g, the instruments control speed within ±50 rpm of set point. Temperatures can be set from 0° to 40°C in 1°C increments, and controlled within ±2°C of set point (after equilibrium).

The Gradient Master™ forms 6 identical linear density gradients in 1-2 min using a technique called tilted tube rotation. The gradient forming process involves layering the two end point solutions (i.e. 5% and 30% sucrose) directly in the centrifuge tube, the tube is capped to lock in the solutions, placed in a holder and rotated at a high tilt angle for a fixed time and speed. This process is easy, fast and highly reproducible. There is no competing device with this capability.
