The Agilent 6546 Q-TOF LC/MS represents an advanced liquid chromatograph-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. When integrated with the Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC system, it achieves an unparalleled level of operational efficiency. This instrument is meticulously engineered to facilitate comprehensive workflows in varied domains such as metabolomics research, food safety, food authenticity, and environmental screening. By offering simultaneous high sensitivity, an extensive dynamic range, exceptional resolution, isotope fidelity, and precise mass measurements, the resultant high-quality data engenders the requisite confidence for expedited and streamlined data review processes. The 6546 LC/Q-TOF furnishes accurate mass measurements with precision down to sub-ppm levels and maintains isotope fidelity within a threshold of 5%.

The 1260 Infinity II Analytical-Scale LC Purification System is the most flexible and versatile solution for compound isolation. Ideal for purification of milligram to gram quantities of materials. The standard configuration handles flow rates between 100 µL/min and 10 mL/min with 2.1- and 9.4-mm id columns. Precise isolation of compound can be achieved by low dispersion fraction collection. This instrument has capability of collection of 4 x 96 fractions in microtiter plates, or up to 216 fractions in glass tubes.

This instrument is the perfect choice to characterize nano- and microparticles at the touch of a button. Particles in dispersion as well as peptides or macromolecules in solution can be determined over a broad concentration range, limiting the time for sample preparation. Litesizer 500 includes three measurement angles for particle size determination as well as patented cmPALS technology, which enables zeta potential measurements at low voltages with the highest repeatability and accuracy.

The CFX96 Touch System is a powerful, precise, and flexible real-time PCR detection system. This six-channel (five colors and one FRET channel) real-time PCR instrument combines advanced optical technology with precise temperature control to deliver sensitive, reliable detection for singlexplex or multiplex reactions.

Locating onto the Carousel Stirring Hotplate, the Carousel 6 Plus will simultaneously heat up to 6 reactions from ambient to 180 ˚C with an accuracy of ±1 ˚C. Boils six flasks of water in less than 25 minutes.The Carousel’s patented design ensures powerful and equal stirring in all 6 flasks. By positioning the flasks and magnetic stirrer bars equidistant from the stirring hotplate’s centrally located magnet, the Carousel uses the secondary magnetic field to ensure that all vessels are stirred at the same speed.

The Esco Airstream® Gen 3 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet is the only vertical-type clean bench in the market that uses Direct Current Electronically Commutated Motor (DC ECM) technology. Reducing energy costs by up to 70%, these clean benches are the greenest ones yet. Esco's laminar air flow cabinet is a product of robust engineering combined with strategic ergonomic design. It provides long-term reliability and ultimate user comfort making it ideal for non-hazardous applications that need a sterile environment.

The Sartorius semi-micro balances feature unsurpassed weighing technology and obtain the highest quality of results in your analytical weight measurements with perfectly reliable accuracy of six decimal places. Featuring a maximum capacity of 21 g and a resolution of 2 μg over the entire weighing range, the Secura® micro balance determines the exact weight of the smallest quantities and therefore delivers unsurpassed performance unique throughout the world.

FreeZone 2.5 Liter Benchtop Freeze Dryers are designed for lyophilizing light sample loads. The upright stainless steel collector coil holds 2.5 liters of ice before defrosting. Two 1/3 hp HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration systems cool the collector to -84° C (-119° F), suitable for samples with low eutectic points including acetonitrile. Lyo-Works™ OS provides a real time display of collector temperature, vacuum level and optional End-Zone™ end point detection system, shown on a 5" full color, capacitive touchscreen.

CentriVap Benchtop Vacuum Concentrators are designed to rapidly concentrate multiple small samples using centrifugal force, vacuum and heat. As many as 148 samples may be processed at once. Sample sizes range from a few microliters up to 25 milliliters. CentriVap Concentrators are also available as one component of CentriVap Concentration Systems.

Compact Arium® Mini laboratory water system is for Type 1 ultrapure water requirements of 10 liters per day and are ideal for use in preparation of buffers, media and samples, both in life sciences applications and in analytical laboratory procedures. A large, touch activated screen and intuitive menu navigation ensure exceptionally easy operation.

The Eppendorf CryoCube F440 series of ULT freezers (also known as ultra-low temperature freezer/-80 °C freezer) is based on a strong compressor for fast recovery to -80 °C after opening. As this class of freezer is often used as real lab freezer, multiple openings per day are normal – a dynamic and strong cooling system is mandatory for fast recovery to -80 °C after every freezer access: Provide your valuable samples a safe and cold location. The freezer minimizes operating costs by low energy consumption per day while providing superior protection for your critical samples. A combined insulation based on vacuum insulation panels and polyurethane foam enables extremely low energy consumption during long-term storage for the CryoCube F440h.
