Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, introduced its NALGENE® 2L Bio Bottle, a two-liter centrifuge bottle for high-volume sample processing, at Analytica 2008. Designed with workflow in mind, NALGENE 2L Bio Bottles create a complete solution when combined with the Thermo Scientific Sorvall RC12BP centrifuge and H-12000 swinging-bucket rotor, enabling scientists to process 12 liters of sample in a single run. The NALGENE Bio Bottle will be showcased at the Thermo Scientific booth 105/204, Hall B1 at Analytica 2008, being held in Munich, Germany, from April 1-4.

Developed for gross separation of samples, including bacterial, yeast and tissue isolations performed in compliance with GMP (Good Manufactured Practice) regulations, NALGENE 2L Bio Bottles are highly suitable for biopharmaceutical applications.

The NALGENE 2L Bio Bottle and sealing cap are leakproof up to 7,333 x G and have an operating temperature range of 4°C to 22°C, with storage to 0°C. Constructed of chemical-resistant polypropylene copolymer, the bottles meet USP Class VI and are certified non-cytotoxic and non-hemolytic. A wide mouth opening simplifies decanting, re-suspensions and pellet removal, and the smooth inner walls are less likely to shear cells. Loading, recovery and sample storage are facilitated by its ergonomic design, which includes graduations for precise measurement. Furthermore, the bottles can also be used in an autoclave.

NALGENE 2L Bio Bottles are designed to fit the Sorvall H-12000 swinging-bucket rotor, an anodized aluminum rotor with a unique conical shape that improves pelleting. The system greatly increases process efficiency when used with the Sorvall RC12BP centrifuge, a dependable workhorse for large volume separations. This combination further illustrates the commitment of Thermo Fisher to provide high quality consumables and equipment that can be integrated to meet specific application-based requirements.

Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
