The Leica RM2235 microtome is a user-friendly, robust microtome that is designed for manual routine paraffin sectioning but can also be used for cutting harder materials. The microtome is perfectly suited for those who expect precision sectioning and appreciate the feel and extra measure of control during manual sectioning.

The 4300 System is a third generation instrument based on LI-COR Biosciences' highly sensitive infrared fluorescence detection technology.
4300 instrumentation, software, reagents, and applications are all part of an integrated system designed to achieve the highest accuracy. Infrared detection is a key advantage since biological molecules, gels, and glass plates have little infrared fluorescence. With low background fluorescence, dye signals are clean and strong. Infrared detection gives 4300 DNA Analyzers excellent sensitivity.

Among the current critical challenges facing veterinary microbiology is the need to obtain secure species identification of rare and challenging organisms in a timely manner. In particular, zoonosis by pathogens transmitted between animals and humans is a very serious threat in the daily veterinary routine.

The friability determination is a rational evaluation of the general brewing quality of malt. This international approved method refers to the research work of Prof. (honor.) Lucien Chapon. For the determination of the friability immediately after the kilning process. The Friabilimeter separates the malt mechanically in hard and friable (smooth) parts.
* Fast and easy operation
* Sturdy construction
* Simplifies the malt analysis
* Empirically proven result of brewing value
