A new, revolutionary weighing technology has recently been developed by Scientech. Since this progressive technology is so exceptional, a patent has been filed and is currently pending. In addition, this innovative technology is now the foundation for a new series of electronic balances which carry Scientech's Zeta trademark.

The heart of the new Zeta Series is based on a direct-loading, electromagnetic, force-restoration cell concept, which differs dramatically from normal lever-configuration sensor designs. Thus Zeta models have a more elegant design with fewer moving parts. The result is a more rugged balance with an easily repairable, modular sensor while preserving high performance.

In addition, each unrivaled Zeta model is handcrafted in the USA and retains all the accuracy, durability, and user-friendly standard features you have come to expect from Scientech. The benefits inherent in the Zeta Series also empower Scientech to offer you a new North American 5-year warranty backed by Scientechâs ISO9001 certification.

MIDSCI's ProBlot 35 Deluxe Rocker is made for those laboratories requiring a larger platform area and precise control over rocking parameters.

Both speed and degree of tilt are adjustable across a broad range to provide the exact level of agitation required for all types of samples. The rocker is equipped with a 2 hour timer that can also be set for continuous operation.

The heavy duty motor and sturdy rocking platform can support loads of up to 10 pounds. Closed loop, solid state speed control ensures that the rocker operates at constant speed regardless of voltage or load fluctuations. Permanently lubricated ball bearings provide years of maintenance-free operation.

The ProBlot 35 Deluxe Rocker is available with a single platform, or for added workspace, two stacked platforms. Each platform is covered with a nonslip rubber mat to keep sample containers in place. The rocker can be used in environments from 4° to 65°C, making it safe for cold room or incubator use.

Efficient 3D Lab Shakers
The three-dimensional shaking motion of the GyroTwister GX-1000 is extremely efficient, yet gentle, making this shaker ideal for general mixing as well as staining gels, hybridization and other applications. Shaking speed is continuously adjustable across a broad range. A nonslip rubber mat and elastic tie-downs hold samples in place during operation. A dimpled mat is included for holding tubes in place. Larger platforms and a stacked standard platform configuration are available to increase shaker capacity.
GyroTwister 3D Shaker Product Features Include:

• Gyratory action provides gentle yet thorough mixing
• Hybridization, staining gels, immuno-staining and general mixing
• Safe for use in temperature-controlled environments
• Double platform and larger platforms available

Permanently lubricated ball bearings on moving parts provide quiet, maintenance-free operation. The sturdy base lends stability to the unit. The GyroTwister 3D shaker is safe for use in temperature-controlled environments, up to 65°C. Standard 30 x 30 cm platform and tube mat are supplied with the shaker,

The Labnet Economy Rockers, ProBlot 25 and 25XL, are basic rocking platforms that have been designed for a long life and trouble-free service.

Rocker speed is adjustable to provide the gentle motion required for staining fragile gels as well as the more vigorous action necessary for washing blots. The rocking movement is fixed at ±7°.

The platform surfaces are covered with nonslip rubber pads to prevent objects from moving during operation. Elastic tie downs are available to secure in place bags, boxes, tubes and other containers. The platform assemblies pivot on permanently lubricated ball bearings for quiet, maintenance-free operation. The ProBlot 25 platform measures 28.9 x 20.3 cm, while the ProBlot 25XL platform is slightly larger at 30 x 30 cm. For increasing the work area without sacrificing valuable bench space, a second platform can be stacked on the first.

The ProBlot 25 and 25XL Rockers can be used safely in temperature controlled environments up to 85°C. Their low profile and compact size make them perfect for use in small incubators.

• Ideal for mixing samples in blood and centrifuge tubes
• Fixed speed and pitch

The GyroMini is a smaller version of our popular GyroTwister. Its small size makes it ideal for mixing samples in blood and centrifuge tubes.

Like the GyroTwister, the GyroMini combines the motions of an orbital shaker and a rocker to produce a three dimensional action. The result is a thorough yet gentle mixing without foaming. Both the speed and tilt angle of this small shaker are fixed to provide the optimal level of agitation for mixing samples in small containers.

The GyroMini is supplied with a dimpled mat for holdidng tubes firmly in place. For temperature sensitive samples, the GyroMini can be used in a cold room.

The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which can rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify samples in 0.2 - 1000 ml of liquid. During operation, the suspended material is drawn into the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at up to 35,000 rpm. The material is repeatedly cycled through six narrow slits in the stator where it is rapidly sheared and disintegrated by high frequency mechanical action. Complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver, breast tissue, etc.) is usually achieved in ten to thirty seconds. Little, if any, heat is produced during the process.

Unlike most other Brands of rotor/stator type homogenizers, the Tissue-Tearor comes complete - that is, with both a motor and a probe (aka, generator, dispersing tool) - both included in one price.

Specifications:

• Sample Volume Range: 0.3 to 1000 ml, depending on the probe selected (see table below).
• Universal Motor: 120 VAC, 138 watts or , for overseas applications, 230VAC2
• Variable Speed: 5,000 to 35,000 rpm, incremented by 5000 rpm.
• Probes made of Type 316 Stainless Steel with flurocarbon bushings.
• Weight: Approximately 1/2 Kg.

High-Power Homogenization in a Hand-Held Unit

The PRO250 is a perfect fit between the PRO200 and the larger benchtop PRO homogenizers. It's light enough to be hand held for convenience, yet is has extra torque for processing difficult samples. Combining the power of a 3/4 hp, 576 watt motor with a smooth variable speed control (10,000 to 30,000 rpm), the PRO250 can handle samples from 0.05ml to several liters. Like all PRO homogenizers, the PRO250 accepts PRO QUICK CONNECT rotor stator generators for fast and virtually effortless changeover. The PRO250 also accommodates PRO SAFETY SEAL and ST (Sealed Tube) Series Chamber Assemblies to contain aerosols and prevent contamination, making it extremely safe when processing hazardous materials. Stand and generators not included.

The Bio-Pulverizer reduces tissue hard-frozen in liquid nitrogen to a fine powder. Called freeze-fracturing, this method is especially useful for tough, fibrous tissues such as skin, cartilage, cornea, etc. The Bio-Pulverizer consists of a hole machined in a stainless steel base, into which fits a special piston. In a typical procedure, up to 10g of animal or plant tissue is hard-frozen in liquid nitrogen and placed in the pre-chilled Bio-Pulverizer. The piston is mounted on an easy to use trigger mechanism that is squeezed to deliver a blow to the brittle tissue reducing it to a fine powder. Freeze fracturing with the Bio-Pulverizer is also useful for extracting labile tissue metabolites and as a preliminary step to other homogenization techniques. 2 year warranty

How the Bio-Pulverizer Works

• Place the Bio-Pulverizer in the insulated container and cool thoroughly with either liquid nitrogen (preferred) or a dry-ice/alcohol mixture.
• Place pre-frozen tissue in the well of the mortar. Re-insert the pestle into the well.
• Remove the mortar from the insulated container and pulverize the tissue with one or two blows to the pestle.
• Invert the mortar and empty the powdered contents for subsequent homogenization or extraction procedure.
