What sets us apart

Multitarget Concentration

Capture multiple target organisms from large volumes. 

Gentle Process

Maintains integrity of cells and viruses, enabling viable studies and culture. 

Versatile Applications

Ideal for broad range of samples, targets and use cases.

The main advantage of the Concentrating Pipette was that it allowed us to easily concentrate a large sample volume (900 mL media), which can be difficult to manage with traditional methods such as ultracentrifugation.
