New at AHF: Ultra-thin Optical Filters from Everix

AHF puts you in the technological pole position! The new, innovative polymer-based filters are ultra-thin (0.1 – 0.5 mm) and can be installed particularly well where conventional glass filters reach their limits. They can be applied to curved surfaces and cut to special shapes. This is made possible by an innovative, patented thermal manufacturing process. Take advantage of these new possibilities for your project!

Reliable and Low-pulsation Transport of Liquids in Laboratory Analysis

Whether in chemical or biological laboratories, biotechnology or other fields - peristaltic pumps are widely used. Their advantages are reliability, uncomplicated design and handling, and the fact that the pumped medium only comes into contact with the tubing material and not with the pump mechanism itself.

Confocal Microscopy Light Source: The CELESTA Light Engine from Lumencor

Integration of pooled CRISPR genetic screening with cellular and sub-cellular imaging readouts is critical to improving phenotypic definition in image-based genetic knockout studies. Wheeler and co-workers describe screening CRISPR-infected HEK293T cells on microraft arrays, followed by automated high-resolution confocal imaging to identify regulators of stress granules, which are punctate protein–RNA assemblies that form during cellular stress. Confocal imaging of microraft arrays was accomplished using a CELESTA Light Engine coupled to a CrestOptics X-Light V2 L-FOV spinning disk confocal.

Maximize Fluorescence with the New Avant™ Filter Set Family

While every fluorescent filter set has a Gap separating excitation and emission passbands, many sets for short Stokes Shift probes have large Gaps that shift the emission filter to longer wavelengths. The emission filter captures less fluorescence and the filter set’s performance is therefore reduced. IDEX Health & Science’s new Semrock Avant™ technology narrows this Gap and brings the emission and excitation passbands close together.

Analyzing Superhydrophobic Surfaces with a SOLA Light Engine from Lumencor

The passive shedding of micro scale water droplets has the potential to enhance heat transfer, anti-icing, and self-cleaning properties. To study this process, researchers at the University of Illinois developed an improved imaging technique called focal plane shift imaging (FPSI) to measure three-dimensional (3D) droplet trajectories. A high-illumination is supplied by a SOLA Light Engine.

High Dissolved Solids in ICP - We Offer Solutions

ICP analysis of sample solutions with high dissolved solids is challenging. The high TDS concentrations stress the sample introduction system of the ICP instrument, can lead, for example, to salt crystallization at the nebulizer tip and increased wear of the torch. This is associated with very high costs for the replacement of parts and especially for downtime of the ICP device. To meet these challenges, we offer a wide range of components.
