Laboratory microwave

Pelco Biowave Pro+ from Ted Pella

Ted Pella is the leading manufacturer of laboratory microwaves for tissue preparation in electron microscopy, histology and pathology. BioWave works with continuously generated microwaves, thus allowing complete control of the temperature rise. Reproducibility is ensured by programming (time, temperature, power) and an effective microwave distribution system.

Features
  • Continuous power output 100 - 750 W
  • Rapid diffusion without overheating artifacts
  • Application kits for efficient sample preparation
  • Patented PELCO ColdSpot Pro technology
  • Sample temperature control with real-time output
  • USB-up/download of protocols and reports

Further information

PELCO BioWave Pro+’s brand-new method to prepare tissue for electron microscopy, histology and pathology is not only easy-to-use, but also much faster than conventional tissue preparation techniques.

The new PELCO BioWave® Pro+ is designed to improve efficiency and functionality.  It meets the current needs of the modern laboratory with up-to-date technology. Clickable text navigation allows for simple and clear screen interaction. Live run-time graphs provide an easily accessible view of the current protocol in real-time. The simplified protocol selection screen allows one-touch access to pre-loaded as well as customized protocols.

Note: BioWave Pro may only be ordered in combination with an application kit.
