We are pleased to introduce a range of fantastic new products available to you this Autumn…
The key is in the name – a Funscope is a great addition to microscopic learning. It’s lightweight, fun and easy to use and at a great affordable price compared to many microscopes on the market.
A perfect way to ensure all your students have their own microscope in lesson time, meaning much more time to explore.
Monocular head 45 degrees & Widefield eyepiece WF10X/16mm
Coarse focusing system
6-hole rotating disc diaphragm Incident and transmitted LED illumination with intensity control
With a heartbeat of around 300 bpm, it is a stimulating experiment for students to conduct under the microscope.
Demonstrating PCR and Electrophoresis techniques at GCSE level can be an excellent way to prepare students who are planning to study biology in higher education or those who simply love a science challenge! It can be a great extra-curricular topic that addresses real-world issues and problem-solving such as crime scene investigations aided by the power of science. PCR is used to detect COVID-19 so why not get students discussing this and the impacts and real world application is has, right now!
The EdvoCycler™ Jr. is based on the advanced EdvoCycler™ 2 platform. The sleek form factor has been miniaturized with 16 wells to run individual PCR experiments. A vivid and intuitive touchscreen and onboard computer simplify operation by not requiring a secondary device. And it’s backed by an industry-leading 3-year warranty.
Holds 16 x 0.2ml. PCR Samples & 8-tube strip compatible
Edvotek PCR programs included + storage for 100 more
Temperature range: 14 to 99 º C
Active cooling to 4 º C
7`` HD colour touchscreen displays real-time cycling data
