Tracing the origins of the laboratory incubator and looking ahead to future advances.

Biological safety cabinets (BSCs) are enclosures that protect users from biohazards by cleansing the work space air through HEPA filters.

Tracing the origins of lab refrigerators and freezers and looking ahead to future advances.

Incubators are enabling cell and microbiological culture for industry as well as basic research.

Optimiser™ Features a microfluidic channel as the reaction chamber (instead of the well), reducing assay times and sample/reagent consumption.

Dispenses up to four independent, parallel reagents in volumes from 1 µL to 3 mL, and microplates from 6- to 1,536-well, including low-profile, standard height, deep well and even microtubes.

Monochromator-based reader for UV-Vis absorbance, top/ bottom fluorescence and luminescence assays can be upgraded to a “hybrid” reader with the addition of a highperformance filter module.
