Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has introduced a series of Tank Liners created specifically for use with NALGENE® Brand Cylindrical Tanks.

Suitable for single use biopharmaceutical and diagnostic reagent fluid processing, NALGENE Tank Liners are designed to fit NALGENE Cylindrical Tanks. The open top, flat bottom design enhances mixing capabilities providing an easy-to-use and disposable fluid handling system that reduces the time and labor involved in cleaning. “Our development of the tank liners came about through requests from our customers,” said Ken Falkowitz, director of marketing for Bioproduction and OEM products. “We now offer a single source solution for liners and tanks,” he added.

The tank liners are composed of co-extruded low-density polyethylene film that has been certified to be animal derived component-free (ADCF). Offered in ten different sizes, ranging from capacities of 5 gallons (19 liters) to 200 gallons (787 liters), NALGENE Tank Liners are available either non-irradiated or gamma irradiated (25 to 40 kGy). Designed and manufactured for use with high value products, the tank liners are non-pyrogenic, non-cytotoxic, food-grade and compliant with the USP Class VI. To preserve contamination-free delivery to the point of use, NALGENE Tank Liners are packaged individually in heat sealed double poly-lined cartons

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.
