Insect Cages

Vacuum Pumps

Degassers

Polaris Instruments Ltd manufactures an insect cage based on an original design by the John Innes Centre. This insect cage has many novel features for housing very small insects such as Whitefly and the plants that they live on, so that research results are more consistent and contamination is avoided. The vacuum pumps made by Polaris Instruments generate high airflow, not high vacuum. This is needed for holding down sheet materials or for drying dispensing tips. They are also exceptionally quiet. The Venus Degasser is intended for degassing small amounts of biological materials for use in Genomics and Proteomics. This is not a sparger that changes one gas for another, it actually removes the gas.

Spares and Consumables

The Vacuseed family is for handling very small seeds such Arabidopsis Thaliana which are only about 100 microns long. The Vacuseed Bug is a low cost manual tool for occasional use and the Vacuseed Airwand and Solo are air driven and electric tools respectively for more frequent use. The Polaris Brand Friability Testers are the lowest price new machines available. Spares and consumables for Chromatography, Vacuum Pumps and Pharmaceutical testing..
