Product: Cubis laboratory balance and Arium Pro laboratory water purification system
Applications: Precision medical and life-science laboratory work
Features: International Forum Design GmbH awarded Sartorius the 2010 international iF Product Design Award for two laboratory products in the medicine/healthcare category. Cubis modular laboratory balances can be custom-configured for different working environments. The Arium Pro laboratory water purification system produces ultrapure water quickly, safely, and cost-effectively for chromatography, cell cultivation, and protein purification laboratory applications.

Tangential-Flow FiltrationProduct: T-series TFF cassettes
Applications: Protein purification
Features: Pall's T-series tangential-flow filtration cassettes offer significant improvements in their materials of construction and design with proven membranes to reduce revalidation requirements. New materials are durable and stable, are low in extractables, and offer broad chemical compatibility. Designed for optimal mass transfer, scalable T-series cassettes are available with Omega PES or Delta regenerated cellulose membranes for high flux, high selectivity, and low protein binding in a variety of processes.

Depth FiltrationProduct: Nano-Ceram LR high-performance pleated filter cartridges
Applications: Intended to replace lenticular filters
Features: Each NanoCeram-LR filter cartridge contains Argonide's patented nonwoven matrix infused with nanoalumina fibers for an electropositively charged depth filter. These remove small particles, bacteria, and viruses from water at high flow rates. Cassettes fit most lenticular housings, and results often outperform ultrafiltration for ultrapure water. Optional NanoCeram-PAC technology integrates powdered activated carbon into the media for removing halogens and most soluble organics.

Live Cell AnalysisProduct: Cell-IQ system
Applications: Cell line development, drug discovery, stem cells
Features: Developed by Finnish company Chip-Man Technologies, the automated Cell-IQ live cell observation and analysis system is now exclusively sold by TAP in North America. A cell culture incubator, microscope, light source, and high-resolution camera are integrated with image analysis software that automatically monitors, records, and quantifies changes in cell morphology and distribution without labels or dyes. Cells can be maintained in plates under optimal growth conditions for days or weeks for consistent data quality with minimal user intervention.
