Bovine calf serum is a cost-effective alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). It is often used with robust cell lines when large quantities of serum are needed such as in the manufacturing of biological drugs and vaccines. Bovine calf serum is derived from calves that are generally less than 22 weeks old. It has very high levels of transferrin, which allows for iron fortification to levels of more than three times greater than normal FBS. Iron is essential for cell respiration and metabolism and for some cell lines, makes up for the lower levels of growth factors and other metabolites found in calf serum when compared to FBS.

Technical Advantage:  Can be autoclaved, unlike ampicillin Carbenicillin is a form of penicillin and is often used in place of ampicillin because it maintains stability after being autoclaved.  Like ampicillin, carbenicillin interferes with cell-wall synthesis of actively growing cells.

The Corning portfolio of cytokines, growth factors, and media supplementation offers a wide array of proteins that result in proliferation or differentiation of the affected cells. Corning offers a broad range of other media growth supplements. Some products are specific to cell type, such as SMC4 (for iPSCs) and T-Cell culture supplement (for T-cells), while other products promote proliferation in a wide variety of cell types. Reducing serum use is made easy with products such as ITS and Corning Nu-Serum™.

The Laminar Wash HT2000 System employs the only suspension-cell sample preparation method that eliminates the centrifuge and the problems in introduces. It is designed to product the most quantitative and reproducible results for single cell sequencing and flow and mass cytometry.

The Cytek Aurora CS was designed to leverage the paradigm-shifting technology onboard the Cytek Aurora system and deliver the sorting capabilities you have come to expect in a high-end sorter.

Like Aurora, the CS provides the benefits of Full Spectrum Profiling (FSP™) technology. Its optical design and unmixing algorithm provide scientists remarkable flexibility, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application. The state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics provide high-resolution, high-content and high sensitivity.

The result is a system that delivers high resolution at the single cell level to resolve the most challenging cell populations, such as cells with high autofluorescence or low levels of expression of key biomarkers, regardless of assay complexity, and to isolate live cells for downstream studies.

Freeze Dryers – CoolSafe

Bench top models with -55 ºC to -110 ºC condenser temperatures and 4, 9 or 15 liter capacities and 2 floor standing models with 80 liter condensers at -55 ºC or -95 ºC. They are offered as Basic, Pro, Touch or Superior Touch versions with full microprocessor programming for time, temperature and pressure with optional pressure regulation or documentation or control by computer.

Accessories include a range of acrylic chambers with racks & shelves – with or without electric heating -, stoppering and manifolds for flasks and ampoules for all types of applications.

As one of the worldwide largest furnace manufacturers Nabertherm has long-term experience in design and construction of both, standard and customized control systems. All controls convince by comfortable operation and a wide variety of functions, even in the basic version.

The VERLO™ Image-Guided Cell Sorter is providing conventional flow cytometry and cell sorting along with the ability to perform imaging analysis to identify and sort cells based on morphology, subcellular localization and more.
