LCP (Lipidic Cubic Phase) Sandwich Set
LCP Sandwich  

The LCP sandwich set consists of a base glass slide and an optimized cover slip. This product has been developed jointly with the renowned Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, USA.

 

Packing unit : 20 pieces
Cat. No. 08 900 03

Bottom slide:

  • dimensions: approx 127.8x85.5x1 mm
  • with superhydrophobic glass surface
  • covered with a 0.2 mm high spacer. This spacer has 96 recesses of 5mm diameter. They are consistent with the SBS format for robotic handling. The spacer has an adhesive surface to which the hydrophobic coverslip attaches. The crystallization drops are, hence, sealed in these reaction chambers.

Cover slip:

  • optimized for bright field, UV and fluorescent microscopy
  • dimensions: approx 112x77 mm, thickness No. 1.5 (0.16 - 0.19 mm)
  • with superhydrophobic glass surface

Application:

  • optimized for the crystallographic study of membrane proteins. References: V. Cherezov, J. Clogston, M. Z. Papiz, M. Caffrey (2006) Room to Move: Crystallizing Membrane Proteins in Swollen Lipidic Mesophases. Journal of Molecular Biology 357, 1605 – 1618
  • developed at the NIH Roadmap Center for membrane protein research (http://jcimpt.scripps.edu) and routinely used in GPCR structural biology. References: V. Cherezov, D. M. Rosenbaum, M. A.

Coverslip lifter
Coverslip lifter  
Cover glasses and microscope slides can be handled easily and conveniently with the Marienfeld Superior coverslip lifter. Sensitive glass plates can be taken gently and are hold securely by the vacuum cup. Furthermore, thanks to its elastic materials the coverslip lifter allows scratch-free work and treats the glass surface with utmost caution.

The Marienfeld Superior coverslip lifter is also a handy device for embedding preparations manually: the coverslips can be positioned securely on the embedding material without causing bubbles.

Our coverslip lifter is made of sturdy and resistant materials and offers long-lasting and reliable operation.

Counting chambers with V-slash
Counting chambers with V-slash  

A V-slash at the exterior edge of the chamber bottom facilitates the feeding of the capillary gaps between cover glass and chamber bottom and also reduces the risk of overflow.

We are pleased to advise that we included the following types of counting chambers with V-slash in our standard delivery programme:

Please let us have your enquiry in case that you need other chambers with V-slash. We shall be very pleased to submit you an offer.

ACHEMA 2009

Achema 2009

We have been very happy to welcome again many of our customers at Achema 2009 (11th to 15th May 2009 in Frankfurt/Main). Clients from more than 50 countries visited our booth. We had a lot of interesting business talks and enjoyed the time we spent with our customers.

A brilliant wizard, Christian Fontagnier, entertained our guests at our Dinner Party and our customers had the opportunity to meet and get into contact with each other. We had a good time and hope to see our clients soon again.

At our booth we introduced some interesting products. Please ask for our leaflets in case that you did not have the opportunity to visit us at Achema. We look forward to hearing from you!

High precision cover glasses

Microscope cover glasses for high performance microscopes, characterized by the accurate thickness of 0.170 mm ± 0.005 mm, are produced from chemically resistant borosilicate glass of the first hydrolytic class.

We recommend these glasses for the use with objectives with high numerical aperture and resolution, for example:

 
-
  dry objective: N.A. > 0.7
 
-
  water immersion: N.A. > 1.0
 
-
  glycerol immersion: N.A. > 1.2
 
-
  oil immersion: N.A. > 1.3

We express our gratitude to the companies Zeiss and Schott for their support in the development of these high-grade cover glasses.

A detailed information about the available standard sizes can be seen [here]. Other sizes are availabe upon request.
