Product news

Visit Tomy Tech at Booth #844 to see a demonstration of the Kitman-T24, the new high speed refrigerated micro centrifuge with relay programming to help automate DNA/RNA extraction.

The Kitman-T24 is equipped with a unique relay program function, which allows six individual memories to be configured to run three coupled programs. This function allows samples to be placed in the centrifuge for incubation, ready to start once the set time has elapsed.

The Kitman-T24 meets the requirements of various sample protocols, including DNA/RNA extraction and purification, and offers increased efficiency and validity in complicated centrifuge operation. This centrifuge also features a long established easy-to-use design with versatile, advanced functions, plus an economy mode to save energy, all in a compact body.

Designed with the needs of biotechnology researchers in mind, the "Kitman" is a new reliable laboratory workhorse.

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.

Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.

Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.
