Descriptions:

The Cogent M1 system is an easy-to-use bench-top TFF system that is ideally suited for process development, scaling studies, as well as clinical trials and small-scale production. An innovative and intelligent design, the system enables an extremely low hold-up volume for maximum volume concentration and optimal product recovery. Equipped with a 10-liter tank with embedded balance, the Cogent M1 system can also run in fed-batch or diafiltration mode using an optional transfer pump, which enables the system to process up to 100 liters or more based on product and membrane filter characteristics.

Specifications:

• Optional Transfer Pump Flow Rate: Tubing dependant (0.16 to 2300 mL/mn)

The Direct Detect system provides accurate results without the pitfalls of colorimetric assays. By measuring amide bonds in protein chains, the system accurately determines an intrinsic component of every protein without relying on amino acid composition, dye binding properties or reduction-oxidation (redox) potential. Also, evaluation of other components of complex mixtures separable from the protein spectral region, like lipids, make lysates and membrane preps easier than ever.

• Sample Volume: 2 μL
• Protein Required to Measure 1 mg/mL: 6 μg
• Compatible: Detergents, Reducing agents, SDS, Chelators
• Time (To Analyze Single Samples): 2 mins

Description:

Direct-Q systems deliver both pure and ultrapure water directly from tap for use with a wide variety of applications in your lab. Direct-Q systems can be equipped with integrated or external reservoirs and are designed for under bench-, bench- or wall-mounting. The system's built-in 185 nm UV lamp reduces the levels of organics for critical applications. You can fine-tune your ultrapure water quality to match your applications using Application specific point-of-use polishers to remove specific contaminants such as bacteria, particulates, pyrogen, nucleases, endocrine disruptors or volatile organic compounds. The system's versatile remote dispenser helps you stay focused on your work by providing ultrapure water delivery where you need it. The remote dispenser can be placed up to two meters from the Direct-Q system, and are available in free-standing or wall-mounted models.

Description:

Milli-Q Direct systems produce both pure (Type 3) and ultrapure (Type I) water directly from tap. The pure water is produced by reverse osmosis techniques designed and optimized by us before it is stored in a tank.
