The M4 fusion instrument is fully automatic and it can process three samples at a time. This instrument prepares up to 12 glass disks or 24 borate solutions per hour. It leads to superior analytical results since all of its fusion parameters can be modified and because it guarantees high reproducibility. Other benefits of using the M4 instrument include its low maintenance cost, its automatic spark ignition and the fact that it requires no calibration, compressed air or oxygen to operate.  

DKSH is the exclusive distributor in Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

The Eagon 2 instrument is completely automatic. It has two independent fusion positions that can work synchronously or asynchronously to increase productivity. This fusion instrument guarantees the operator’s safety and cold-to-cold operation. The interlocked doors protect the operator against hot materials and surfaces during the entire fusion process. With its wide choice of predefined fusion methods and its one-touch operation feature, the Eagon 2 instrument is easy to use.

Clear 3D Cell Culture Models With Minimal Changes to Morphology and Without Compromising Sensitivity

Despite the growing relevance of 3D cell culture as a research model, imaging techniques used to characterize these models are highly limited. Due to the thickness and opacity of 3D cellular structures, most current imaging technologies cannot penetrate to the center of the tissues, resulting in only the outer 2 to 3 layers of cells being detected. This causes the dark centers often seen in images of 3D cell culture models, which proves highly problematic for accurate analysis as these outer cells are most exposed to compounds, nutrients and oxygen and thus do not reflect the entire cell population.

Corning now offers 3D Clear Tissue Clearing reagent that can be used in a tissue clearing technique, designed specifically to support imaging for 3D cell culture models and plate-based high throughput processing. When paired with fluorescent labeling (e.g., fluorescent protein, immunofluorescence, chemical dyes) and high content confocal microscopy, Corning 3D Clear reagent allows for complete 3D cell culture model characterization and more accurate drug screening.

Growth Promotion and Cytotoxicity
Corning classical media products undergo a variety of tests to determine functionality and toxicity using growth-promotion analysis. Product performance is measured by harvest-to-plant ratios or fold increase according to predetermined specifications.

Physiochemical Properties
Liquid and powder classical media products are tested to determine pH and osmolality. Classical media powders are also tested for residual moisture. The pH and osmolality tests are performed according to specific procedures in which all equipment is calibrated using standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Biological Tests
Quality release testing of Corning liquid classical media products assures low levels of endotoxin, mycoplasma, and an absence of contamination.

Endotoxin
Classical media products are tested for bacterial endotoxin using the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) chromogenic assay. For release, each lot of standard liquid classical media must have an endotoxin level of <0.25 EU/mL. Classical media powder products must have an endotoxin level of <0.25 EU/mL when reconstituted to formula weight with low endotoxin water.

Sterility
All Corning liquid classical media products are tested for sterility.

Mycoplasma
Liquid classical media products are tested for mycoplasma using a large-volume method.

Corning water is available in a variety of sizes, and tested to specifications which may include USP and/or EP monograph requirements.
