1. Application Note: Protein Extraction from E.coli using Precellys® Evolution

This case study demonstrates the flexibility and efficiency of Bertin Technology's Precellys® Evolution in effectively lysing highly concentrated E.coli cells to extract soluble proteins for analytical or purification purposes. The effect of different quantities of glass beads in Precellys® lysing tubes was also evaluated. Download application note

2. Product: Sterisart® Universal Pump from Sartorius

The Sterisart® Universal Pump is the latest for sample and media transfer from Sartorius Group. This peristaltic pump can be used in clean rooms, integrated into clean benches, or installed countersunk in the working surface of isolators. More information

3. Video: Eppendorf DASbox® Mini Bioreactor System

Watch this video to find out more about the Eppendorf DASbox Mini Bioreactor System, a unique mini bioreactor system suitable for microbial and cell culture as well as stem cell applications. It is an ideal tool for parallel processing due to its innovative design in blocks of four. Watch video

4. Application Note: Effective DNA Extraction Method for Molecular Diagnostics on Wood-Decay Fungi

Automated extraction systems yield fungal DNA from wood samples in smaller quantities and poorer quality than manual extraction methods, limiting the suitability of the former. This application note from Analytic Jena demonstrates an automated method that aims to achieve results comparable to the preferred manual kit for extracting fungal DNA.
