Carousel offers greater flexibility

Published: 1-Apr-2003


Grant Instruments has launched its range of Grant/Boekel carousels, which has been designed to increase the flexibility of the series of rotating hybridisation incubators. The new carousels offer excellent versatility with options to accommodate a variety of different tubes, as well as standard microplates or deep well plates.

A multi-tube carousel is now available for each of the HIR12/10M, the HIR4M and HIM20 incubators, which supersedes the previous single tube units. These carousels are designed for tubes smaller than the standard 35mm diameter hybridisation bottles, which are ideal for blotting processes and applications requiring the use of smaller membranes. The multi-tube carousels work with a variety of interchangeable mounting clip sizes to securely hold any combination of 50ml, 15ml, 2.0ml and 1.5ml tubes, subject only to available space. Tubes can be positioned vertically, horizontally or at an intermediate angle to facilitate optimum mixing or membrane coverage.

An additional carousel designed specifically to accommodate standard 96-well plates and deep well plates for the HIR 12/10M and HIR4M models is also available.
