Description
The French pressure cell press, or French press, is an apparatus used in biological experimentation to disrupt the plasma membrane of cells by passing them through a narrow valve under high pressure.
Features:
- The FRENCH PRESS G-M matches the performance of traditional FRENCH PRESSES.
- Old style Standard PRESSURE CELLS (40 kpsi; 35ml) can be used. Sold separately.
- Highest pressure hydraulic press commercially available to disrupt the toughest cells.
- Internal pressures generated within the Standard PRESSURE CELL can attain 40,000 psi.
- Sample volumes to 35ml with Standard PRESSURE CELL; minimal sample loss.
- Highly Polished Mirror Finish Stainless Steel Housing: 150 grit electro polished for sanitary applications and for ease of cleaning
- Large easy to read 6” Hydraulic Pressure Gauge. Mounted prominently in front. Preferred over a tiny digital display.
- Pressure limits clearly marked on Pressure Gauge.
- Pressure Regulator Valve offers good control, easy to operate.
- Ratio Selector Switch is non-mechanical, twin solenoids for long life.
- Forced air intercooler for hydraulic fluid to maintain proper fluid viscosity.
- Tables for Hydraulic Pressure Gauge reading conversion to Inner
- PRESSURE CELL pressure conveniently located on the front panel.
- All individual electrical components are UL approved.
Safety:
- Automatic Internal Safety Stop prevents Piston from contacting the bottom of PRESSURE CELL.
- Automatic hydraulic pressure release when in full down stop position.
- Timer will shutdown the motor if inadvertently left running (later versions).
- Prominent E-Stop for added safety.
- Easy access T-handle holder to secure top of Piston.
- High, non-skid feet for ease of cleaning underneath.
- Secure metal ring on platen to hold PRESSURE CELL at bottom in vertical position.
- Hold-down plate across top to secure PRESSURE CELL in place with two easy-turn nuts.
- Low sound levels.
- No pinch points.
- No hot surfaces.
