Autoclaves come in a variety of sizes and are designed for many different uses. A scientific autoclave is designed to sterilize laboratory equipment and medical equipment, as well as growth media for bacteriological purposes. Autoclaves are designed to use pressurized steam at temperatures between 121 degrees and 134 degrees Celsius in order to kill virtually all bacteria and viruses. Prions and a few bacteria which grow at high temperatures are not affected. The rare bacteria which can survive common autoclaves cannot grow at temperatures found in the human body.
Benchmark Scientific Autoclaves are designed for ease of use and are bench-top models designed for use by medical facilities and research laboratories as well as science labs in schools. Benchmark offers two small bench-top autoclaves, the Bioclave mini autoclave with 8 liter capacity and the Bioclave 16 autoclave with 16 liter capacity.
The Bioclave mini autoclave has 121 degree and 134 degree cycles. This easy to use basic autoclave has a preset cycle for each temperature and is designed to be an easy to use, basic autoclave. The larger 16 liter model offers more preset programs as well as the option of programming all parameters to suit any special needs. An optional printer is available for the 16 liter Bioclave to allow for full documentation of sterilization procedures.
Both models have mechanical and electrical safety interlocks that preclude the possibility of accidentally opening the unit during a sterilization cycle until internal and external pressures are fully equalized. Accidentally opening a pressurized autoclave is an experience to be avoided, since pressurized steam can cause serious burns, especially when superheated.
Both units are fully automated and require the use of only a start button to operate (once any settings are made). They feature large, easy to read digital displays and proceed through the entire sterilization cycle automatically once started. This ease of operation means that virtually anyone working in a clinic, hospital, or laboratory can operate a Biocave. The versatility of the Bioclave 16 means that it is suitable for a wide variety of institutions, including many research facilities.
Many types of facilities have switched to using disposable equipment in order to avoid having to sterilize equipment prior to use. Much disposable equipment should be sterilized prior to disposal. Tattoo artists mostly use disposable needles in order to avoid the need for sterilization. Few clinical settings use reusable needles anymore, and many surgical implements are available in disposable forms. But most clinics and labs still have the need to sterilize equipment and growth media. The small footprint of the Benchmark Scientific Autoclaves and their ease of use make them ideal for many clinics, labs, and hospitals.

Brymill cryogenic systems are a valuable asset to any medical or veterinary practice, and are also frequently used in industrial processes, as well. Cryogenics rely on the use of liquid nitrogen, applied as a hand held spray for effective and pinpoint accuracy across all applications.For medical purposes, liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly on skin blemishes to remove them. It can be effectively used to remove many types of common skin lesions, including skin tags, warts, papilloma, basal cell carcinoma, age spots and keratoses, among others.
Liquid nitrogen freezes the offending blemish, causing it to die and dry up. Liquid nitrogen leaves fewer scars as a result of lesion removal than any other past or presently available method. There is also very little bleeding, and no unpleasant odors. The liquid nitrogen is applied to the specific area needed via a handheld gun, allowing for pinpoint accuracy in placing the medium only where it needs to be.
Cryogenic systems are not only extremely effective, but very easy to use. The handheld apparatus for application is available in a number of sizes to fit any size hand, making it ergonomic and comfortable to use. This provides a great advantage for dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons who are performing facial procedures, or any lengthy procedure.
Brymill cryogenic systems are used in the electronics industry when printed circuit boards need to be repaired, tested or recycled with processes that utilize liquid nitrogen. Because these items are generally very small, the use of an accurate spray is vital to the repair process.
Carbide tool bits which are used in the fabrication of printed circuit boards must be tempered and the industry is increasingly using cryogenics as part of the tempering process. New developments are happening every day, and new uses are being found for liquid nitrogen.
Cryosurgery and use of liquid nitrogen in industry are not new techniques, having been used for decades. What is new, are the latest in delivery and application methods which allow far greater control over the process than ever before, and prevent the unnecessary waste of expensive liquid nitrogen.
Cryogenic systems are available in a number of convenient sizes designed to perfectly fit your specific needs. There are also some fantastic accessories for the use of liquid nitrogen in the medical field. If you have not previously used a cryogenic system, starter packs for specific applications provide everything that you need in one package.
There have been great advances in science and technology in recent years, and the modern Brymill cryogenic systems are an excellent example of those improvements and advancements. When form meets function, and convenience and ease of use have been taken into consideration, what you get is a new and better method of doing something. It also tends to becomes far more economically feasible and advantageous.

Disruption of cells is a process whereby biological molecules inside of a cell are released. The disruption of cells is necessary for methods of cloning or culturing, and the process allows individuals to study the molecules inside of the cell. All molecules can be studied, with the exception of excreted molecules, which are living cells. In order to disrupt cells, the cell size can be as small as a few milliliters or milligrams. When disrupting cells it is important to be extremely careful, to minimize losing a cell, and to avoid accidental cross contamination. A disruptor can disrupt 192 cells at once. Some cells that are easy to disrupt and others are more difficult; brain tissue is an easy cell to disrupt, while yeast cells can be more difficult.Branson cell disruptors have been the benchmark when it comes to experiments of this type in the laboratory, having been used in research studies for over 60 years. They are referred to as sonifiers; they are tools used in the the laboratory to apply high ultrasonic energy for chemical and biological tasks such as cell disruption. Branson Cell Disruptors come in several different models, with varying wattage and different types of horns; the model chosen would depend upon its intended purpose.
An example would be the Branson Sonifier 400W Analog Cell Disruptor with ¾” Solid Horn, S-450A. This model uses traditional technology to help produce reliable results. This analog system has an auto tune memory, adjustable power for output which minimizes heat for sensitive samples, a timer and an output meter which helps process power. This system comes with a two year manufacturer warranty. Accessories made for these units include Branson Ultrasonic Cleaning Solutions and replacement parts for maintaining the system. This will make the Branson machine run better and longer. Cell disruptors are available in analog or digital models.
When it comes to the digital models of Branson Cell Disruptors, each one has a consistent power supply, a probe, and a converter, along with the benefits enabled by newer digital technology. In the digital models, cell disruption is done by creating ultrasonic vibrations. The converter on this machine will transmit the vibrations through a mechanical probe, referred to as a “horn”. There are two basic models of Digital Cell Disruptors; Digital 250 and Digital 450, with variations depending upon the size of horn provided with the unit and the wattage.
When it comes to analog cell disrupters, each one of the models come with a power supply, mechanical probe (horn), along with a converter. In the analog machine the cavitations are created through ultrasonic vibrations. The converter will transmit the vibration through the probe, which will be applied to the samples indirectly or directly.

Cryogenic storage dewars are constructed of two or more layers and contain a strong vacuum that is maintained to provide excellent thermal insulation and prevents the cryogenic liquids from evaporating. If these containers are completely sealed, the gas will build up on the inside of the flask and can cause high-velocity explosions which can cause injury and property damage. These containers are constructed with safety valves that allow the evaporating gas to escape through that valve that prevents explosions. More advanced containers are made that are able to trap the gas above the liquid cryogens and are able to hold the gas at higher pressures than standard containers. Some containers may simply be tipped to allow the liquid inside out, but more advanced containers use the pressure at the top to force the liquid out through a pipe in the neck.
Although cryogenic flasks contain the liquids safely, there is no way to prevent the liquids inside from boiling away entirely. These types of containers are not to be used as a permanent home for cryogenic liquids. The vapor from these containers causes a great buildup of gas in the location in which they are stored, which can displace the oxygen in the area. It is highly recommended that these containers be kept in well ventilated areas. Cryogenic dewars are susceptible to ice buildup, which can cause blocked safety valves, which may lead to an excessive buildup of pressure. This is caused by the container being left open and air being able to make contact with the liquid, at which point ice will form and cause this to take place.
Everyday lab use typically requires the use of smaller cryogenic flasks that allow for the ability to transfer and measure the liquid cryogens. These advanced holding containers usually have a specific holding time, which is the maximum amount of time that the liquid cryogens should be left inside of them. They are made of aluminum, polyethylene, glass, and other advanced containment materials to withstand the extreme temperatures of the contents. The flasks often come with weighted bases and are available in many different sizes and depths depending on the various lab uses. This type of flask usually comes with a tip that allows for no-mess pouring.
Shallow, wide mouth flasks are available for lab use and allow a person to contain cryogenic liquids and allow for the option to manipulate them at the same time. Allowing for the insertion of lab tools, this type of flask is convenient for agitation of cryogenic liquids, quick freezing and recovery of organ specimens, and the tempering of stirring rods and pestles.
All of these types of containers are available from laboratory supply dealers. Locate your nearest one, or save time and shop online. Always use proper protection when handling hazardous materials.

If you are presently searching for a new model of autoclave, you are bound to be more than satisfied with the brand new Benchmark Scientific BioClave. This excellent new autoclave model offers quick and efficient sterilization of all of your important consumable items and research tools. These new autoclaves are fully compatible with most industrial and scientific research tools, and the units themselves are fully digital and optimized for original contemporary research.Both Benchmark Scientific BioClave models are fully portable. The full sized BioClave model has a width of just under 18 inches, while the BioClave Mini has a width of just under 14 inches. As such, both of these new BioClave models are positioned to make an excellent addition to your laboratory table top. They can also quite quickly and easily be set up for research conducted in the field.
Regardless of which new BioClave model is chosen, both will feature large optimized digital displays. Operation on both models is fully automatic. Each separate cycle of the sterilization cycle is designed to begin operation with the simple touch of the "Start" button. The sterilization cycle itself has been fully automated to run through three succeeding modes: Fill, Sterilize, Exhaust and Dry.
If the researcher who purchases either or both BioClave models wishes to make use of a mini printer to record the results of the sterilization cycle, an optional printer is also available by request. It should be noted however that, at present, this optional mini printer is only available in conjunction with the full sized BioClave 16 model. If enough demand is shown to justify the inclusion of the new mini printer with other BioClave models, this may change.
As noted above, both of the latest BioClave models, the full sized and the mini, are equipped to run on a fully automatic process, commencing with a press of the "Start" button. Both models offer a sterilization process which is cost efficient, rapid, and 100% complete.
Likewise, as noted above, both models are completely compact, and specifically designed and engineered to offer portability, both in the research laboratory and in the field. And both BioClave models feature a built-in water tank. Neither model will thus require the purchase of an external water supply, such as a separate tank unit.
Both units come with a complete manufacturer's guarantee. These new BioClave units are backed with a full warranty, which runs for the standard length of one year. If, during that time, the user notices any issues or defects in the machine, whether endemic or systemic, he or she need only return the unit to the manufacturer for a full replacement or refund.
At present, it is believed that these new Benchmark Scientific BioClave models represent the state of the art in modern 21st century autoclave technology. It is hard to imagine a more efficient, durable, and reliable species of autoclave being offered on the market place.

Generally, running an EKG is a quick and painless affair. Using external electrodes which are placed on various areas of the body, there is no invasive procedure to worry about and very little maintenance cost as a result of running an EKG. The diagnostic ability provided by an EKG unit is also worth applauding, as a properly run EKG allows for detection of abnormal heart rhythms, problems with the closing or opening of heart valves, detection of damage to specific areas of the heart, and much more based on the abilities and functionality of the machine. In the case of the Bionet Cardiocare 2000 Interpretive EKG, not only does the EKG unit provide a digital readout of heart rate and battery life, but it also allows for entering of patient data such as height, weight, and age to aid in its calculations and algorithms. As if that wasn’t enough functionality, it also has an on-board printer to record patient readouts of vitals for quick record-filing and immediate analysis.
Although the apparent benefits of electrocardiography may make EKGs sound like a necessary test at every checkup, it’s always important to remember that, more often than not, they should only be performed when symptoms of cardiovascular dysfunction are noted. This is due to the fact that incorrect diagnoses of non-existent heart issues tend to be higher when EKGs are performed without noticeable symptoms present. Often, any irregularity that an EKG might note can be attributed to a condition that is either not present or doesn’t require any present action. For this reason, and to keep healthcare costs low, it is only recommended that doctors perform an EKG when there justifiable cause for concern.

One of the greatest joys of life, or so I’m told, is that of parenthood. Not only is it the most rewarding task one will ever undertake, but also the most frustrating. Regardless of how you personally feel about parenthood, at some point in the journey that is life you’re likely to see a fetal Doppler. Used by healthcare professionals to gauge a developing baby’s heart rate, a fetal Doppler provides not only an audible simulation of the baby’s natural heart beat, but some models also display the heart rate in beats-per-minute. The reason that a digital display model might relate the heart rate in beats-per-minute has to do with the ways that a fetus’ heart rate ties into the baby’s overall health and development.A device such as the Summit Fetal Doppler, produced by Summit Doppler Systems, works based on a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect explains why, as an object moves toward an observer while producing sound, the pitch of sound will increase. Similarly, as the object emitting the sound is moving away from the observer, the pitch will seem to decrease. This is due to the frequency of the object’s sound being altered relative to its location to the observer. As the object moves toward you, the sound waves that it is emitting are technically being emitted from a source that is growing closer and closer to you, i.e. you are hearing faster and faster sound waves. As a sound wave speeds up, its frequency increases, and as its frequency increases, so does its pitch.
A great real-life example of the Doppler effect in action would be at any auto race. Have you ever heard the characteristic ‘zoom’ sound that racecars make as they round a corner? That is caused by the Doppler effect. Since each car is getting closer and closer to you while you watch from the corner, and then further and further away as it speeds down the straight-a-way, you perceive a high pitched roar followed by a fading rumble. The reason I say ‘perceive’ is that the racecar is only making one sound—an evenly pitched hum. However, due to the racecar’s position changing rapidly in relation to the position you are sitting, you perceive a ‘zoom’ sound being made.
Now, this is not to the say that the Summit Fetal Doppler systems are racecars. However, they do utilize the science behind Doppler waves to electronically mimic the beating of a baby’s heart.
