In 2023, the 5910Ri and 5427R Eppendorf centrifuges became the first centrifuges worldwide to receive the ACT label. The ACT label resembles a nutrition label, showing how products rate in various sustainability categories. The 5427R centrifuge now uses a hydrocarbon cooling liquid, propane, in place of the hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to reduce HFCs environmental impact. This blog covers the cha...
Vortex mixers are mainly used to mix samples in tubes, plates and occasionally flasks by creating a vortex within the sample. Vortex mixers come with different accessories to enable it to mix samples of different sizes or multiple samples at once. For more information about vortex mixers please see this blog here

Laboratory Centrifuges are used in a variety of applications to separate components in samples. This is achieved by spinning the samples at high speeds and at different temperatures. Centrifuges are available in different sizes with different max speeds, rotors and different temperature options.

Centrifuge FAQ:
...
When selecting an appropriate centrifuge, one of the key points to consider is the maximum speed and if this meets your protocol. Centrifuges have two measures of speed, known as RCF and RPM, and whilst these may be used interchangeably they are in fact very different measurements.
RPM - Rotation per minute
Simply, this is how many times per minute the rotor will spin. This measure cannot...
Grant Instruments have launched a brand new PCR Centrifuge with vortex mixing:
The new CVP-2 is an all-in-one PCR Centrifuge/vortex mixer that allows for simultaneous sample prep of multiple samples all at one time. It's versatility stems from being able to hold semi and fully skirted PCR plates with no additional accessories required.

Stuart SCF2 microcentrifuge keeps it compact and quiet
The Stuart SCF2 microcentrifuge from Stuart fits a versatile set of features into a compact, easy-to-use design. Offering quiet operation, the SCF2 is a variable speed unit accommodating either a fixed angle rotor holding 12 tubes or a strip tube rotor. As well as pelleting of precipitates, applications include processes involving spin col...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
