Designed to eliminate contamination and ensure safe handling of sensitive instruments and materials. This capability provides controlled sterilisation processes, including chemical, gas, or other specialised methods, to maintain compliance with laboratory standards and protect device integrity.

Incubators that provide a controlled environment for growing biological samples under microgravity conditions.

Equipment designed to simulate microgravity conditions for research and experimentation.

A fumehood is a ventilated enclosure used in laboratories to process materials that may produce harmful gases. It provides a safe environment for working with potentially hazardous biological materials by filtering air and preventing the escape of contaminants. It protects both the user and the surrounding environment from exposure to harmful substances.

A high-performance ultra-low temperature freezer used in laboratories and research facilities to store biological samples, enzymes, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive materials at extremely low temperatures.

A cell culture incubator is a laboratory device that provides a controlled environment for the growth and survival of cells. It maintains optimal temperature, humidity, and gas composition, such as CO2 and O2, to mimic the conditions of the human body or other organisms. A cell culture incubator can be either air-jacketed or water-jacketed, depending on the heating method. It can also have features such as HEPA filters, sterilisation cycles, and variable oxygen control to prevent contamination and enhance cell quality. A cell culture incubator is used for various applications, such as tissue engineering, stem cell research, cancer biology, and vaccine development.

A wetbench is a potentially automated process tool that is used to carry out wet etching or cleaning steps of a fabrication process.

Gloveboxes provide an encapsulated environment to either protect a sample from the atmosphere, or to protect the cleanroom from a sample.

A Cryostat delivers high-quality sections the fast, simple and efficient way. Time is crucial when sectioning frozen specimens. An actively cooled quick freezing shelf with defrost function and a powerful refrigeration system are provided to get rapid results.

Centrifuges provide a simple way to separate materials that are suspended in a liquid. By spinning samples at high speeds, materials with different densities are separated from one another by centrifugal forces. This technique is often used in biological applications for, say, separating the constituent parts of blood.

Ceramic tape preparation is a process of making thin and flexible sheets of ceramic material. The process involves mixing ceramic powder with a binder, solvent and additives, then casting the slurry onto a carrier film and drying it. The resulting tape can be cut, stacked and laminated to form various shapes and structures for applications such as electronics, sensors and energy storage.

A critical point dryer is a device that uses the principle of supercritical drying to remove liquid from delicate samples without causing damage or deformation. It is commonly used for preparing biological specimens for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or for drying microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and gels. The process involves replacing water with an intermediate fluid, such as ethanol or acetone, and then with liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a low critical point of 31 °C and 74 bar. The liquid CO2 is then heated and depressurised to reach the critical point, where it becomes a gas without crossing the liquid-gas interface. This avoids the surface tension effects that would otherwise distort or collapse the sample structures.

Ion beam milling is a technique used to prepare sample surfaces for microscopy and analysis. It involves bombarding the surface with high-energy ions, in a vacuum chamber. The ions sputter away the surface atoms, creating a smooth and damage-free layer. Ion beam milling can reveal the internal structures of almost any material and is suitable for surface-sensitive techniques such as EDS, SEM, and AFM.

Tape casting is a fabrication technique that uses a thin layer of slurry to produce thin and flexible ceramic sheets. The slurry is spread over a flat surface, usually a carrier film, and then dried to form a green tape. The tape can be cut, stacked, laminated, or sintered to create various shapes and structures for different applications.

A planetary centrifugal mixer is a device that uses high-speed rotation and revolution to mix materials with different viscosities and densities. It can achieve uniform and bubble-free mixing in a short time, without the need for vacuum or heating. Planetary centrifugal mixers are widely used in various industries, such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and ceramics.
