NEW – The Winston™ Fluorescence Reader
The newest addition to the MiniOne® family of classroom-friendly biotech equipment, The Winston Fluorescence Reader helps introduce students to concepts of flourescence.
Using fluorescence to visualize samples and reactions is a common molecular biology technique to determine how much sample is present or what is happening in a sample since the samples are often colorless, low in abundance, and too small to see.
Fluorescent visualization can now be done in the palm of your hand with The Winston Fluorescence Reader.
This system is designed to work with samples that can be excited by blue light. With MiniOne Systems’ Winston Fluorescence Reader, students use fluorescence to detect and see samples glow in colors they won’t believe and then document their findings.
Use the MiniOne Winston Fluorescence Reader to practice essential real-world biotech skills like dilutions, pipetting, calculating concentrations, and documenting results.
The Winston includes: one MiniOne® Photo Hood, one MiniOne® Winston Platform with space for up to 4 DNA samples, a rechargeable battery, and a USB charging cable
