NanoAsemblr Benchtop instrument from the Precision Nanosystems company used microfluidic mixing for the production of defined nanoparticles. The principle is based on the laminar mixing of the aqueous phase and miscible solvent containing dissolved nanoparticle precursors in a capillary with a constant flow at a specific angle. The aqueous phase usually contains the encapsulated molecule (DNA, RNA, protein, etc.). The volume of the formulations might be from 1  to 15 ml.

NanoAsemblr Spark is the smaller brother of the aforementioned model from the same company with the same purpose and the same principle of nanoparticle assembly. It uses sterile single-use cartridges for particle formulation according to pre-programmed settings. It is ideal for nanomedicine formulation discovery and screening at microliter scales. The working volumes can be scaled from 25 μl to 250 μl.

Confocal microscopy enables advanced studies of localization of the proteins in cytoplasm and nucleus of the cells, both in live and fixed samples.

The Bruker JPK NanoWizard 4 BioScience is an extreme-performance atomic force microscope for biological applications. It is mounted on a Leica fluorescent microscope and is for AFM routines such as 3D visualization as well as physical evaluation of measured samples. It combines fast tip scanning with high-resolution scan sizes of up to 100 µm2.

The Biostat^® RM is a GMP compliant, wave-mixing bioreactor. It is paired with single-use Flexsafe^® RM bags and can be used for a broad range of different cell lines incl. Sf-9, Sf-21 insect cell lines,  CHO, HEK293, stem cells, and CAR-T cells. The modular concept of the Biostat^® RM works in the range 2 L to 50 L, provides flexibility to manage your individual process needs. Biostat^® RM saves space, reduces costs, and increases yields. Flexsafe® disposable bags are equipped with sensors for measuring pH, O2, and temperature. The bioreactor works in a closed system that minimizes the possibility of product contamination.

The microfluidic instrument is used for cell disintegration (bacteria, yeast, insect, mammalian cells), and also for producing microemulsions and liposomes in a low volume with minimal sample loss. It is thus ideal for testing several conditions before transfer to larger volumes. The system contains ceramic cell through which the sample goes with the pressure of 2000 bar generated by a powerful compressor.

The microfluidic instrument is used for cell disintegration (bacteria, yeast, insect, mammalian cells), and also for producing microemulsions and liposomes in a volume of tens to hundreds of milliliters of a sample. The system contains a ceramic cell through which the sample goes with the pressure of 1200 bar generated by a powerful compressor and a compressed air bomb.

Beckman Coulter’s Optima XPN-100 Ultracentrifuge is a high performance centrifuge optimized for spinning its rotor at speeds that can achieve speeds approaching 100,000 rpm or 802,000 x g. It features an imbalance detector that will prevent dangerous operations, a diffusions pump in series with a mechanical vacuum pump to increase spin efficiency, and interchangeable rotors and accessories to customize specific sample requirements. Its main purpose is to separate components of a sample through the use of relative centrifugal force. It has a wide range of applications ranging from separating blood to measuring conformational changes in proteins.

The instrument from the Biocomp company enables the generation of a linear gradient from two liquids with different densities in ultracentrifugal tubes. Besides that, after the ultracentrifugation itself, you are able to fractionate the sample – collect a specific fraction from the linear gradient without disturbing the gradient. The fractionation can be manually operated or to be fully automatic.

A high-performance liquid chromatography system from Agilent 1260 Infinity II series, is equipped with a Bio-Inert Multi-sampler with a ceramic needle allowing work in a metal-free environment. The 1260 Infinity II quaternary pump with a wide flow range (up to 10 ml/min) and a maximum system pressure of up to 600 bar enables both analytical and semi-preparative applications.

A liquid chromatography system (NGC – Medium-Pressure Liquid Chromatography System from Bio-Rad company) is primarily intended for protein isolation and purification. It is equipped with UV and conductivity detectors, an automatic sample collector and the intuitive software ChromLab. The instrument can be operated by PC also with the method design, or in a simplified version by an integrated tablet.

Stirred bioreactor BioBENCH from the Solida Biotech company enables the cultivation of microorganisms (E. coli, S. cerevisiae, P. pastoris), fungi and others in a temperature and pH-controlled environment with defined levels of dissolved gas (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen). Fermentor is equipped with four pumps for solution dosing (acids, bases, degassers). The working volume of the fermentor is 4 litres.
