Description

Test tube insert improves lab accuracy

A new product can now enhance pathogen sample separation within a centrifuge tube. It is designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of separating different components in a pathogen test mixture, a crucial step in various scientific and medical applications.
 
The strainer insert is easy to use and is specifically engineered to fit inside a standard centrifuge tube used in labs around the world.
 
It primarily acts as a barrier that allows smaller particles to pass through while retaining larger particles. This separation process is vital for tasks such as isolating cells, purifying samples, and preparing specimens for further analysis. The design also includes multiple layers of filtration, which enhances the precision of the separation process. This multi-layer approach ensures that even the smallest particles are effectively filtered, leading to more accurate and consistent results. The strainer insert represents a significant advancement in laboratory equipment through user-friendly design, durability, and multi-layer filtration system.
