Rotolavit II – Automatic Cell Washing System for serological testing

Cat. No.: 1008-00

The ROTOLAVIT II cell washing system facilitates routine tasks in transfusion centre laboratories. It was developed for crossmatching, as well as antibody search and differentiation, and for cell washing in TB tests. By automating the routine processes, not only does it reduce the amount of manual work required, but also ensure repeatability by reducing human error. The centrifuge has a small footprint and delivers  reliable results at low costs for consumables.

Although made for cell washing in blood centers, hospitals for serologic evaluation, the ROTOLAVIT II is flexible enough to be used for cell washing procedures in oncologic or immunologic labs. Apart from spinning tubes like a standard centrifuge, it can also be used for making cell suspensions. The end user can combine the settings in a very flexible manner.

The ROTOLAVIT II can spin up to 24 tubes in one spin, with maximum Revolution per minute (RPM) of 3500 or 1438 relative centrifugal force (RCF). It only requires little effort to clean and maintain the equipment, with the whole rotor easily removed without the use of tools.

The new and improved feature of Rotolavit II is the operations and control. Rotolavit II can save up to 20 different programs for easy switching between frequently used programs. Programming the centrifuge is made easier with the coloured touch screen display. The screen can display more information and programs can be set by just pressing a few keys. The users can set the saline volume, agitation parameters, decanting
speed and many other parameters to suit their individual requirements. In a glance, the user can also get useful information such as the sequence and cycle number the equipment is currently on. 

Overall, the ROTOLAVIT II is a simple and user-friendly centrifuge with great customizability. The touch screen display allows users to easily set parameters to their requirements. The ROTOLAVIT II is suitable for many facilities including but not limited to Hospitals, Hematological labs, Blood centers and Clinical labs.

The new Multiwave 7000 microwave digestion system combines the well-known concept of Anton Paar’s HPA-S with modern microwave technology, representing the best way of acid digestion. Multiwave 7000 stands for complete digestions, a streamlined workflow, lightweight accessories, budget-friendly easy-to-handle vials, budget-friendly upgrades, ready-to-use methods and automated cleaning procedures.

The core feature of Multiwave 7000, the PDC (Pressurized Digestion Cavity), allows acid digestion at temperatures up to 300 °C and pressures up to 199 bar. This ensures complete digestions of all kinds of samples such as food, environmental, polymer, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, geological, chemical, and petrochemical samples – even in the same run. The vials with plug-on caps are available made of glass (disposable), quartz, or PTFE-TFM and provide tool-free, even screw-free, handling. Lightweight and budget-friendly PTFE-TFM racks and vials save running costs and reduce the maximum weight which needs to be carried to less than 1 kg for up to 24 samples.

Temperature and pressure sensors for reaction control are already integrated in the PDC so no optional sensors need to be handled. Implemented ready-to-use methods and Anton Paar’s customer-specific application support replace time-consuming method development. Disposable vials and automated cleaning procedures further minimize the laboratory work. Racks with up to 24 positions combined with 2000 W power and integrated water cooling minimize the heating and cooling times and maximize the sample throughput.

Always connected

With Multiwave 7000 you are always connected, if required. Multiwave 7000 automatically sends notifications of completed runs and events via email and gives an audio signal and a visual signal via Smart Light to inform you of the instrument status. Multiwave 7000 can be remotely controlled via VNC from a computer, notebook, or mobile phone.

Unrivalled service network

As well as providing a new level of versatility in acid digestion, Multiwave 7000 represents the highest support and service quality, guaranteed via 29 subsidiaries and 60 distribution partners worldwide.

Pavel Abdulkin, Head of Particle Works, Blacktrace Holdings Ltd., which develops and manufactures high performance nanoparticles and microparticles, was clear about the impact of the new technology on his work: “The Zetasizer Ultra has dramatically increased our sample throughput, enabling us to accelerate our particle development cycle from 12 month to around a month.”

May 23, 2018 – Malvern Panalytical has unveiled its new Zetasizer® Pro and Ultra systems, designed to increase confidence in decision-making within key analytical workflows associated with product development and quality control. Built on the heritage of the market-leading Zetasizer Nano range, and already the proud recipients of a Red Dot 2018 design award, these new flagship instruments deliver significant improvements in the quality and speed of particle size, molecule size and zeta potential measurements, using the techniques of dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering.

The Zetasizer Pro and Ultra systems are controlled by groundbreaking ZS Xplorer software, introducing new sample-centric workflows which make method design and data analysis more straightforward for new users, while preserving full accessibility for users experienced in the application of light scattering methods. New analysis capabilities answer for the first time, key issues associated with the presence of dust or aggregates when applying dynamic light scattering for particle and molecular characterization, filtering these from the results to give a truer overall picture of the sample. This is supported by integrated, deep-learning empowered data quality guidance, offering the user instant feedback on their results and providing actionable advice on how to improve poor quality data.

A key differentiator of the Zetasizer Ultra is its patented Multi-Angle Dynamic Light Scattering (MADLS®) technology, which automates multiple-angle size measurements, providing higher resolution and more complete particle size distributions. MADLS also enables calibration-free particle concentration analysis for a wide range of materials, resolving the individual concentrations of different size populations. The new disposable capillary sizing cell provides the ultimate in non-destructive, low volume (3 μL) analysis, extending the upper range to 10 μm and delivering high quality data whilst reducing cost. The Zetasizer Ultra’s speed and ease-of-use are uncompromised by these unique and powerful capabilities, making it the most advanced light scattering system available.

Zetasizer systems are used across many industry sectors worldwide, delivering value in the control and optimization of processes, and the improvement of product quality, stability and performance. They are ubiquitous in academic settings, indispensable in a wealth of application spaces and referenced in tens of thousands of peer-reviewed publications.
