Worth Knowing Is it Really DNA You Are Measuring? Most of the time you have one chance to get your experiment right. Samples are precious and unique. So you need to ensure the plastics you are using don t interfere with your samples. Are you aware of the many substances that leach from plastic consumables? The most critical leaching additives are > Slip agents > Biocides > Plasticizers Not all consumables are the same False positives, wrong appreciation of biological results, waste of time and costs, and unreliable measurement are some of the outcomes. Unfortunately, leachables are easily detected in UVabsorbent measurements, interfering with spectroscopic analyses such as those employed during DNA quantifications. Eppendorf is committed to manufacturing only the highest quality of plastic consumables without the use of slip agents, plasticizers or biocides, giving you peace of mind about your results.

What Makes a Green ULT Freezer? Many people focus on energy consumption when considering how sustainable a ULT freezer is, however, the story is far more complex than that! Many other factors can affect how green a product is. Eppendorf freezers have a reputation for lasting longer and performing better. The high manufacturing quality of Eppendorf freezers translates to lasting peace of mind for you. Did you know Eppendorf manufacture their ULT freezers in Europe? Less shipping means less CO 2! A Silent Companion: New Centrifuge 5425 Centrifuge 5425 is the successor of the legendary lab standard Centrifuge 54. This -place centrifuge has been engineered to be extremely quiet. Short runs up to 2 minutes are whisper quiet at an average of 45 db(a). This is sufficient for centrifugation steps of most routinely used DNA/RNA purification kits. During longer runs the cooling fan works at full capacity to dissipate the heat for the remainder of the run. Even so the Centrifuge 5425 is still the quietest non-refrigerated microcentrifuge on the market with a noise level below 5 db(a).
