The Nikon Ti2 is a cutting-edge inverted research microscope known for its superior optical performance and wide field of view. It supports various imaging techniques, including fluorescence, phase contrast, and DIC, and advanced methods like TIRF and FRET. With an intelligent interface for optimal performance and features like focus drift compensation and automated stage controls, it ensures precise imaging.
A filament extruder is a device used to produce filament, the material used in 3D printing. It works by melting raw plastic pellets, which are then extruded through a nozzle to form a continuous strand of filament. This filament is then cooled and wound onto a spool, ready for use in a 3D printer. Filament extruders allow users to create custom filament from various materials, including PLA, ABS, and PETG, and can even recycle old or failed 3D prints into new filament.
The Vernier UV-VIS/Fluorescence Spectrophotometer is a versatile instrument that measures absorbance and fluorescence across a broad range of wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV) to visible (VIS) light.
Minor laboratory equipment like the Eppendorf centrifuge, sonicator, peristaltic pump, incubator, and water heating bath plays essential roles in various scientific applications.
A Type II biosafety cabinet (BSC) is designed to provide a sterile environment for handling biological materials, protecting both the user and the samples.
A fume hood cabinet is designed to provide a safe environment for handling hazardous chemicals and protecting users from harmful fumes, vapors, and particulate matter.
