The UIS-360 Universal Inoculation Spinner provides a semi-automated approach to microbiological plating designed to improve consistency, operator ergonomics, and regulatory compliance in environments where full automation is not feasible or necessary. This article explores the technical and regulatory rationale for adopting the UIS-360, with reference to relevant pharmacopeia standards, good laboratory practices, and microbiological method validation principles. The discussion also situates the UIS-360 within broader industry trends toward practical semi-automation, illustrating how incremental innovation can have a meaningful impact in regulated laboratory settings...

Maintaining a PCR cabinet is crucial for ensuring cleanliness, preventing contamination, and prolonging the life of your equipment. Neglecting this simple routine can compromise experimental results, reduce efficiency, and lead to costly repairs.  

This guide will cover the importance of PCR cabinet maintenance and the three key areas of upkeep: cleaning, preventive maintenance, and long-term maintenance. 

Molecular biology techniques such as PCR, sequencing, forensic analysis, cloning, mutagenesis, and medical genetics diagnostics demand precision at every step. However, sample preparation is often fraught with challenges like foam formation, bubbles, inconsistent mixing of reagents, and insufficient dissolution of lyophilized reagents. These issues can lead to unreliable results, wasted reagents, and increased costs. This application note highlights how using a dedicated PCR plate centrifuge, such as the MSC-2P from Biosan, can address these problems effectively and improve lab efficiency...

RTS-1C were used to control and induce temperature fluctuations and simultaneously performing optical density measurements on long term experiment. (Link to an article).

The experiment lasted around 6 months totalling an average of 600 E.coli generations...

RTS-1C were used to analyze the timeline of phage-induced molecular changes in infected host cells using Raman tweezers technique (Link to an article).

The studies were carried out on the culture of the Staphylococcus aureus FS159 strain, cultivated with a virulent phage JK2...

Ionizing radiation exposure leads to oxidative damages in organisms. Free radicals produced by oncology radiotherapy are often a source of serious side effects. Resistance of lactobacilli to oxidative stress is of great importance for their applicability as probiotics...

The aim of this study was to initially evaluate the potential of MR-12 application as the disposable wave bioreactor platform. Disposable, γ irradiated PE bags in combinations with MR-12 where used for cultivation of Dracocephalum sp. cell cultures...

The article “Decontamination of the KingFisher Duo Prime processing chamber using UV light” published by Thermo Fisher Scientific proves the effectiveness of the UV decontamination of their station of automatic extraction and purification of nucleic acids. As a standard, they acquired a PCR cabinet UVC/T-M-AR, Biosan...
