CardBox Racked Pipette Tips
Appleton CardBox racked pipette tips are the sustainable alternative to standard plastic racked tips. Instead of being housed in plastic, the pipette tips come in robust cardboard racks. These durable racks work effortlessly with single and multi channel pipettes – for easy loading and unloading. -Tip racks made from 100% biodegradable paper material -Material used is built to last – providing durability that rivals plastic racks -Plastic consumption reduced by 60% compared to traditional plastic racks -Our technology minimises the risk of particles collecting on the surface of the tips, reducing the possibility of contamination and error. -Non-autoclavable and pre-sterilized for immediate use
FBS Xtra, Fetal Bovine Serum, Capricorn Scientific
FBS Xtra is a next‑generation fetal bovine serum developed through collaboration between Capricorn Scientific and the University of Applied Sciences Frankfurt. It features a significantly reduced serum content enriched with key growth-promoting components, resulting in lower batch-to-batch variability and enhanced cell growth performance and morphology, while reducing cellular stress By incorporating defined additives, FBS Xtra allows labs to maintain standard serum concentrations in culture media with less serum usage, addressing supply limitations, ethical concerns, and improving experimental consistency. This refined formulation represents a meaningful advancement in cell culture, offering researchers a more controlled, sustainable, and reproducible serum option.
Tissue Culture Flasks, Jet Biofil
Jet Biofil Tissue Culture Flasks are premium, sterile vessels specifically designed for reliable long-term and large-scale cell culture. Their tissue culture-treated, smooth, striation-free surfaces maximize cell attachment and growth, while uniform wall thickness and flat bottoms help ensure consistent nutrient distribution and minimise distortions
Controlled Rate Freezer, Grant
The Grant Controlled Rate Freezer (CRF/CRFT) is a compact, benchtop system designed for precise, programmable cryopreservation without the need for liquid nitrogen or alcohol baths. It offers accurate temperature control from –100 °C to +30 °C, with ±0.5 °C accuracy and ±0.1 °C stability, ensuring optimal cell viability by preventing ice crystal formation. The freezer supports both linear and non-linear cooling/thawing profiles and features interchangeable heads to accommodate a wide range of sample formats including cryovials, straws, and microplates. With user-friendly software, real-time data logging, and optional uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the Grant CRF delivers safe, reproducible, and traceable freezing protocols—ideal for stem cells, IVF, vaccines, organoids, and cell therapies—at a fraction of the cost of LN₂-based systems.
