The latest Scie-Plas catalogue is described as a highly significant publication, representing a five-fold expansion over previous editions
Celebrating a rich heritage of innovation in the development, design and manufacture of electrophoresis equipment, the new Scie-Plas catalogue offers everything from gel tanks to chemicals and gel documentation systems, plus a greatly expanded range of radiation protection and laboratory safety products.
New products include the HU15 standard horizontal gel electrophoresis unit, which complies with the accepted industrial size standard, additions to the Varigel range of economically priced horizontal units, and new-style electroblotters and vertical gel electrophoresis systems.
Other highlights from the Scie-Plas catalogue are cellulose acetate electrophoresis systems for clinical applications, UV sterilisation cabinets, Serva electrophoresis chemicals, including pre-cast gels and IPG strips, and VISION imaging and gel documentation systems with analysis software.
According to Dick Barker, Scie-Plas chairman, 'We are delighted that the new catalogue demonstrates the breadth and depth of the product ranges we are now able to offer.
"Scie-Plas has always been a pioneer - not just in the quality and ease of use of our products, but also in achieving the highest safety standards.
"Our extensive resources enable us to continually develop new products and to provide excellent customer support".
Four decades of R+D and manufacturing experience, always using state-of-the-art fabrication techniques, has enabled Scie-Plas to produce electrophoresis products renowned for their long life, strength and versatility.
In addition, Scie-Plas also manufactures the most comprehensive range of both beta and gamma radiation protection and laboratory safety products.
On-going research work with end-users in hospitals, universities and industry laboratories has led to a strong track record for innovation, and all Scie-Plas products carry the CE Mark.
In 2001 the company's success attracted the interest and investment of a global life sciences corporation and Scie-Plas was acquired by Biochrom, becoming part of the Harvard Bioscience group.
