DNA concentrator offers digital control of concentrator temperature and short concentration times, reducing the risk of heat damage to samples
Barnstead Genevac has introduced a new optimised concentrator for safe and productive preparation of DNA samples.
The new system is part of the Mivac range of affordable centrifugal concentrators for molecular biology applications.
The Mivac DNA concentrator is the result of extensive market research with biologists around the world and has been designed to prepare DNA samples efficiently and safely, the company says.
It offers digital control of concentrator temperature and short concentration times, reducing the risk of heat damage to samples.
Unlike centrifugal filters, the Mivac DNA concentrates effortlessly and returns 100% of samples every time, and with no consumable costs, Genevac says.
Benchmarked to provide best-of-class performance in all aspects the Mivac DNA provides scientists everything they need to safely and swiftly concentrate or dry their samples in a compact easy-to-use package.
The design has no motor and is therefore very quiet running.
Simple 'select and set' single control knob control enables even new users to obtain excellent results first time and every time, it says.
To facilitate full experimental flexibility the Mivac DNA also allows advanced users access to special operational modes to speed up concentration of water or water/alcohol mixtures.
