Histology Tissue Processors

The Lab Techniche DS2080/H Tissue Processor is a fully automatic device which is able to process more than 80 human or animal samples in one cycle and make them ready to be moulded. The processor holds two paraffin baths and two stainless steel tissue baskets which could be operated both automatically and manually.

The stylish and organic design of the Tissue Processor with its digital display panel, touch panel keys allow ease of operation which sets is above our competitors.

All of the processor operations and  tissue passage programming timings can be controlled via suitable light and acoustic alarms and also the big and readable display panel which could be easily supervised by the operator.

Permanently lid fastened jars are used in this device to prevent the evaporation of the solutions which would not only make the evaporation rate be the least but also would prevent the distribution of the smell of the solutions in laboratory environment at most.

In addition to this, there is the option of installing SMS Software package for online and Real-Time supervision and device activities.

Histology Mictrotomes

£0.00

The Rotary Microtome instrument has been designed for the cutting of human and animal tissues embedded in paraffin.

The thickness of the sections can be adjusted according to the tissue type easily by the laboratory technician.

Increased instrument life time and efficiency has been achieved by using special ball bearings for linear and rotating mechanisms.

The Microtome holds two micro and macro handles. The Micro Handle cuts the tissue and the Macro handle moves the specimen rapidly toward the blade.

The section Thickness could be set via the front panel and the volume key from 1 to 60 microns by the operator.

Auto Trim is a facility of the device which could be used via the lever in two modes. The first mode of the system is 10 microns and the second one is 30 microns. This facility makes the operator be able to reach the tissue surface without touching the micron setting volume. For serial and consecutive sections, the Retraction facility is considered on this device.

The specimen clamp is designed in a way that the Standard Parffin Block or  Tissue Embedding Cassette clamps could be installed easily on it and the different Plastic or conventional Paraffin Blocks could be used by them.

The Blade holder consists of two parts and the whole collection could be set according to the blade type from 0 to 10 degrees angle to the specimen.

This part is designed in a way that different types of the knives or the disposable blade holders could be easily .

ELECTROSPINNING UNITS

Labscale Electrospinning Unit (Electroris)

Electrospinning is An established method of producing nano- and micro-fibres from a wide variety of natural and synthetic polymers is knows as  Electrospinning

Electroris® is a lab-scale electrospinning machine to prepare polymeric/carbon/ceramic nanofibers with diameter range of 50 nm to a few microns. The machine mainly consists of metallic body, syringe pump, spinneret system, collector system and high voltage power supply.
 
In side by side Electrospinning system, there are two syringe pumps on both sides of the rotating collector drum, making the system to consist of 2 syringe pumps, 2 scan systems, 2 distance adjusters and 2 high voltage power supplies.

Even though the production rate of dual pump model is two times higher compared to the standard one, this is not its main advantage.

In these systems two different materials could be electrospun simultaneously. Furthermore, the system makes it possible to electrospin polymeric material from one side and additive materials, such as medications, from the opposite side, producing composite nanofibers containing desired components.

Therefore, it is suitable for pharmaceutical, medicinal, biological, etc. applications.
This machine employs a panel for controlling electrospinning parameters including injection rate of polymeric solution, electrospinning distance, rotating speed of collector drum, working temperature (room temperature to 45°C) and working time. Electroris® provides excellent safety schemes for the users with respect to the handling of high voltage power supply and chemical solvents.

There is also the option of Humidity control.

Ultra-sonic Mixing/homoginiser

Ultrasonic Homogenizer (1200W)

ULTRASONIC MIXERS

Ultrasonic Homogenizer (1200W)

Ultrasonic homogenizer is a special and unique product which is applicable for laboratory and small scale manufacturing applications

The device is suitable for developing  and performing scientific research.

It has 20 kHz working frequency with adjustable power range between 0-1200 W.

It operates in pulse mode and total duration of reaction is also adjustable. In addition, it is equipped with thermometer which is for regulating the temperature of the reaction chamber.

How the Ultrasonic Homogenizer  Works

The ultrasonic power supply (generator) converts 50/60 Hz voltage to high frequency electrical energy. This alternating voltage is applied to disc-shaped ceramic piezoelectric crystals within the converter, causing them to expand and contract with each change of polarity.

These longitudinal vibrations are amplified by the probe (horn) and transmitted into the liquid as ultrasonic waves consisting of alternate expansions and compressions. The pressure fluctuations pull the liquid molecules apart creating micro-bubbles (cavities), which expand during the negative pressure excursions, and implode violently during the positive excursions.

As the bubbles collapse, millions of shock waves eddies and extremes in pressures and temperatures are generated at the implosion sites. Although this phenomenon, known as cavitation, lasts but a few microseconds, and the amount of energy released by each individual bubble is minimal, the cumulative amount of energy generated is extremely high.

The high shear energy delivered is at maximum near the tip of the probe, and decreases as the distance away from the tip increases.

Compared to mechanical homogenizers, ultrasonic processing is fast and highly reproducible.

Probes are practically self cleaning, and by virtue of their design, account for negligible sample losses. When used with environmentally safe aqueous cleaning solutions, the Homogenizer becomes a powerful cleaning tool, capable of removing the most tenacious contaminants from normally inaccessible locations. Unlike ultrasonic baths, which dissipate the vibrational energy over a large area, the Homogenizer probe focuses the energy to create a concentrated, high intensity cleaning zone.

Peristaltic Pumps

Single-Channel and Multi-Channel Peristaltic Pumps

The peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids.The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular casing (though linear peristaltic pumps have been made).

Pump action is created by compressing the tube between rotating rollers and a track. Between each roller pass, the tube recovers to create a vacuum and draws in fluid. Complete tube closure provides the pump with its action, preventing backflow and eliminating the need for check-valves when the pump is not running.

Peristaltic pumps are very helpful when dispensing culture media, buffers or other solutions. As nothing but the tube touches the fluid, the risk of contamination in the pump is eliminated. These pumps have no valves, selas or glands and have a number of advantages over other pump types such as superior flow rate stability and metering accuracy, extensive chemical compatibility and inherently hygeinic. The LabTechniche peristaltic pumps are perfect in the laboratory and manufacturing plant for continuous hard working.
