The CB2400 is a batch load animal cremation system that will accept 2400 pounds of pathological waste in an initial load and thoroughly process it in a single four hour burn cycle. The CB24Q0 is designed to accommodate the need for mass cremations and yet, can also be used to perform semi-private pet cremations as well. This model may be used to cremate horses or other large animal carcasses. The system is constructed to operate outdoors without any protection from the weather however it may also be placed inside a building if preferred.

The high resolution echelle spectrometer has a unique optical layout, resulting in high efficiency light transmission, enhancing overall sensitivity and detection capability, also producing a very compact spectrometer that minimizes the requirement for laboratory space and reduces purge gas consumption. An upgraded CID86 chip (Charge Injection Device) allows free choice of wavelengths over the complete 166 – 847 nm range.

The Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex purification system provides plate-based handling (mix, capture, transfer, release) of magnetic particles for bead-based nucleic acid and protein affinity purification procedures. This instrument provides excellent reproducibility and minimizes the hands-on time required for DNA, RNA, and protein isolation from a wide range of sample types.

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.
