SLS Matrigel Communication – October 2021

We are continuing to experience longer than usual lead times for key product lines, including Corning Matrigel. Due to unprecedented high demand and disruption to global supply chains, Corning remain in a rolling back-order situation and are therefore carefully managing all available stock and are currently not able to fulfil reservation requests.

We apologise for any inconvenience but hope our customers can understand that new processes have been temporarily put in place to try to ensure a fair distribution of Matrigel for all researchers whilst supply is affected. New batches of Matrigel are in production but due to the biological processes involved in manufacturing this product and unpredictable shipping timescales, we are currently unable to give accurate dates for delivery.

However, we estimate lead times for new orders placed now would be early 2022, but this is liable to change. Corning require a customer PO to be in the system before they can offer any form of prioritisation so please contact your local SLS Territory Sales Manager.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this period and we hope to be able to communicate that the situation is returning to normal soon.

SLS Lab Pro generators put laboratories in control of their gas and liquid nitrogen supplies

We have launched a new line of SLS Lab Pro gas and liquid nitrogen (LN2) generators, available exclusively in the UK and Ireland. This technology gives laboratories control over their gas and LN2 supplies, and promotes sustainability by eliminating the need for cross-country transportation of gas cannisters and Dewar flasks.  

On-site generation of gas and LN2 has gained popularity in recent years, as more companies have decided to free themselves from having to rely on external suppliers. This issue has been further highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, with deliveries all over the globe being significantly delayed. On-site production also offers users the possibility to create just the right amount of gas or LN2 for their application, which is beneficial for sustainability.  

The new SLS Lab Pro gas generators use the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technique to separate nitrogen, oxygen and water, producing high quality air and nitrogen gases for a wide range of applications. Gases are available at various flow rates, controlled through the latest HDMI touchscreen technology. This also enables real-time monitoring of the gas production, ensuring that an efficient and consistent supply of gas is always available. The liquid nitrogen generator uses the same technique to create nitrogen gas that is subsequently liquified using a powerful cooling system, providing a steady and dependable supply of LN2.
