Light Labs is proud to announce the addition of the LabNet line of laboratory equipment, including shakers, rockers, centrifuges, incubators, electrophoresis, nutating mixers, and much more, to our ever-changing line of laboratory and research products. Here are just a couple of the new product offerings from Light Labs.

Centrifuges: Light Labs now carries the Spectrafuge line of centrifuges from LabNet. The newest member of the Spectrafuge family, the 24D, features precise digital microprocessor control. This centrifuge is loaded with features, yet has a list price low enough to make it the most economical high performance microcentrifuge on the market. A newly designed, easy-access 24 x 1.5 ml rotor is supplied with the Spectrafuge 24D. This innovative rotor places the tubes on a plateau, where the user can easily grip their tops. The powerful brushless motor quickly accelerates the rotor to a maximum speed of 13,300rpm/16,000 x g. The controls are simple, consisting of only two knobs. The speed knob is used to set the speed in either rpm or g-force. Pressing the knob toggles the display between rpm and rcf. Turning the timer knob sets the time parameter, while pushing it starts and stops operation of the unit. The last run settings remain in memory allowing for repetitive centrifuging without resetting of parameters. Extremely quiet and cool running, this unit maintains a small footprint. The Spectrafuge 24D is available in five accent colors.

Shakers: One example of the new shakers that Light Labs offers is the GyroMini. The GyroMini is a smaller version of our popular GyroTwister. Its small size makes it ideal for mixing samples in blood and centrifuge tubes. The GyroMini combines the motions of an orbital shaker and a rocker to produce a three dimensional action. The result is a thorough yet gentle mixing without foaming. Both the speed and tilt angle of this small shaker are fixed to provide the optimal level of agitation for mixing samples in small containers. Fixed speed and pitch. The GyroMini is supplied with a dimpled mat for holdidng tubes firmly in place. For temperature sensitive samples, the GyroMini can be used in a cold room.

LabNet is known as a standard in the research industry for their exceptional quality and price on the items that they offer. The partnership between LabNet and Light Labs will allow us to offer a more well rounded product line to our customers.
