Baculovirus expression facility

This facility is used for expression of hard to express mammalian proteins.

Benchtop Refrigerated Centrifuge
Features:

▶ Centrifuge 5810 R, with its renowned quality and reliability, offers the most cost-effective solution for medium to high-throughput applications requiring speeds of up to 20,913 x g (14,000 rpm). This benchtop centrifuge has been designed to fit into every lab and make routine work more comfortable thanks to its quiet operation, soft-touch lid closure and low access height for easy loading and unloading. Experience true versatility with a broad selection of rotors and adapters that facilitate mixed loading of tubes, bottles and plates. A new generation of rotors increases the capacity of Centrifuge 5810 R to a maximum of 4 x 750 mL (or 28 x 50 mL / 56 x 15 mL). The swing-bucket rotor and adapters accommodate tubes and bottles from 0.2 mL to 750 mL, and the fixed-angle rotor 0.2 mL to 85 mL tubes. The plate rotor is ready for you to carry out centrifugation of all types of multiwell plates, such as PCR, cell culture, or deep-well plates.
