Ice Makers
Equipment designed to make aqueous and dry ice; products may be handheld, benchtop, or floor models. Includes water filters and filtration systems for ice makers.
Ice makers are used to produce ice from water or “dry ice” from liquid nitrogen. Most laboratories have access to an ice machine, since ice is used to keep samples and reagents cold during experiments or other lab work.
Ice makers are typically large floor-model units that are plumbed directly to a water source. However, smaller capacity benchtop and undercounter units are also available. Ice makers may contain replaceable air and water filters or cartridges and may have antimicrobial features that help to maintain water and ice quality.
Ice makers vary in size based on the amount of ice they can produce and store. They also vary based on the type or shape of ice produced, including:
- Cubes
- Flakes
- Nuggets/pearl-shaped
Some ice makers dispense water and ice; others have large covered bins from which one must scoop or otherwise transfer the ice into a secondary container.
Ice-making may be continuous until a certain threshold is reached, while other ice makers can be programmed to meet fluctuating demands and high- and low-use periods. Most ice makers run on a regular current, much like refrigerators or freezers. They usually vent toward the front, which allows them to be placed in smaller or enclosed areas.
Laboratory dry ice makers, produce small quantities of dry ice, usually about a 16 oz. (454 g) block at a time. One block typically takes less than five minutes to form. Production requires a tank of liquid carbon dioxide with a dip tube; a 50-pound tank can produce anywhere from eight to 16 blocks of dry ice. Other versions that produce dry ice as flakes or “snow” are also available.
Electron Microscopy Sciences MAC 37 Auger Standards and Faraday Cup, 32 mm
MAC has developed multi-element blocks of reference materials suitable for the compilation of a reference library of Auger sensitivity factors when used with the Auger Electron Microscopy (AES). A carefully selected range of elements or compounds will enable the surface analyst to compile a valuable reference library of spectra. A Faraday Cup, for the accurate measurement of specimen current, is available as an option.
Multi-element blocks containing up to 50 reference materials can be made to suit the configuration of the most instrument. The reference material each has an exposed area about 2 square mm and are polished to a 1/4 micron diamond finish. The block of reference material is made from AISI 304 grade austenitic.
All blocks are supplied with certificates of analysis.
Size: 32 mm

Felix Storch Inc Commercial Bullet Ice Machine 77 lb. clear bullet ice production
ENERGY STAR certified, 15 inch wide commercial ice machine that is ETL-S listed to NSF-12 standards. This ice machine features a fully finished stainless steel cabinet and a jet black front with an easy-to-use slide-up lid. It is designed for freestanding use and features an air-cooled system to prevent overheating. The BIM77BU produces up to 77 lbs. of clear, bullet-style ice cubes daily. Bullet ice features a hole at its center, which exposes liquids to more surface area than other ice shapes. The result is a cooler drink in less time than traditional cubed ice. The interior can store up to 33 lbs. to help meet the needs of high-traffic areas. All digital controls are conveniently located at the unit's side, including a function to adjust the thickness of each ice cube. This unit also has a water filter and a removable mesh filter at the rear to ensure easier condenser maintenance. This unit features a clean function, a full bin sensor, attractive LED lighting, and an ice scoop
Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Universal Proteomics Stand
The Universal Proteomics Standard (UPS) Set was developed in collaboration with the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG). This protein mixture was extensively evaluated and reported under the direction of ABRFs sPRG during a comprehensive 2005/2006 study. The findings of the study were presented at the ABRF 2006 and US HUPO 2006 conferences.
