The BIOBOX is a new locking containment unit from Next Advance. The BIOBOX is a protective box around the BULLET BLENDER homogenizer, which can homogenize tissue and cell culture for the isolation of a variety of analytes. The BIOBOX and the housing of the integrated BULLET BLENDER are clear, so users can detect any leaks or spills caused by tube failure. The microprocessor-controlled electronics incorporate interlocks to ensure that the BIOBOX is properly sealed. As an extra security measure, the air pressure inside the BIOBOX is reduced below ambient so that contaminants would remain inside of the containment unit in the unlikely event of a leak. The control panel is safely and conveniently placed on the outside of the containment unit. The BIOBOX / BULLET BLENDER combination works with standard screw cap microcentrifuge tubes. Additionally, the BIOBOX can fit inside many biosafety cabinets for additional protection. Next Advance Inc., 800-738-1681, www.nextadvance.com
