2 mL Stripette® Serological Pipets by Corning Life Sciences
“Banana-peel plastic wrap features easy opening for aseptic removal and eliminates static cling when wearing latex gloves. You can see the polystyrene pipet through the clear plastic wrap for instant size identification. Plus, space-saving packaging reduces storage requirements, waste, and one material makes it easy to recycle.”
Alejandro Soriano, DepEd
Axygen® MaxyGene II Thermal Cycler with 96-well block, 230V by Corning Life Sciences
“Excellent thermal cycler. It lets you apply gradients to your PCRs and perform other changes like hotstart and multiplex PCRs. It is easy to use, literally anyone can use it! Worth every dollar spent on it! Very, very recommended!”
Alejandro Gonzalez Treviño, Cinvestav
Corning® Lambda™ EliteTouch™ Pipettors by Corning Life Sciences
“We tested these Corning multi-channels against others and found them the most comfortable to use. Also, they held on to our tips very well without any specialized tip requirements or complicating modification to the pipettor to hold on to the tips.”
Thomas Murante, University of Rochester
Corning® 250 mL PP Centrifuge Tubes with Plug Seal Cap by Corning Life Sciences
“Great for DNA/RNA isolation. Tubes can be centrifuged at a high speed without issues.”
Gursimran Dhillon, University of Maine
Corning® Gosselin™ Petri Dishes by Corning Life Sciences
“The product is genuinely durable even when subjected to high pressure. It is convenient to use, portable and useful for my assays. It really helps when dealing with microorganisms in vitro, especially for lab work and for instructional purposes, e.g., teaching techniques for crop protection.”
Jesryl Paulite, Surigao del Sur State University
Corning® Stripettor® Ultra Pipet Controller by Corning Life Sciences
“This pipettor is the best one I have used by far. High quality, reproducible measurements, ease of use and user friendly. Have used all the Stripettors since the first-generation model and have never been dissatisfied. Holds all volumes of pipet very snugly and buttons have a smooth action, plus unit has good battery life before needing recharging.”

Corning® Cell Counter
Corning Life SciencesFor years, the choice between manual and automated cell counting has been a difficult one. Manual cell counting, on the one hand, is accurate, but time-consuming and very user-dependent. Automated cell counting, is much faster and less user-dependent, but the cost of disposable counting slides can be an issue. A tough choice, but now there is a solution.The new Corning Cell Counter is the first automated cell counter that combines the best of both worlds. It is: Fast – thanks to its online image processing Accurate – thanks to its cloud-based machine learning algorithm. Low-cost – works with common reusable glass hemocytometer. No consumables required.See resource tab below for specifications."
