Light Labs has recently released several new products from Biomega Research. Our new line of hotplates, stirrers, and stirring-hotplates rival the best on the market with a much less expensive price point.
Biomega hotplates, stirrers and hotplate-stirrers feature an exceptionally durable, chemical resistant white ceramic work surface. Their space-efficient design (8 X 9 in. footprint), makes them ideal for use on crowded benchtops and inside of bio-hoods.
Advanced microprocessor controls with convenient turn knobs allow quick, precise adjustment and maintenance of speed and temperature. Safety indicator LED’s on the front panel indicate when the heating and/or stirring functions have been activated. With a square 7.5 in work surface, all three models are compatible with a wide variety of popular sizes of borosilicate glass beakers, flasks, bottles and other vessels. The hotplate/magnetic stirrer model comes complete with a support rod for mounting thermometers and temperature probes.
CoolCubes
We are also proud to introduce our new CoolCubes. The CoolCube is designed to store samples safely on the lab bench without sample degredation due to temperature increase or fluctuation. Constructed of DuraStar (a high strength polymer) and a patented gel refrigerant, the CoolCube maintains temperature at approximately 0 C for up to four hours. Simply place the CoolCube in a freezer overnight and it’s ready for use, keeping samples cool and safe at the bench, without messy ice buckets or wet tubes.
One side of the CoolCube can be used as a convenient PCR workstation with wells for 12 standard 1.5/2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes and one 96 well PCR plate or 0.2ml tubes/strips. The other side can be used to hold 36 standard 1.5/2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes.
