The Olympus FluoView FV1000MPE Multiphoton laser scanning microscope system offers bright clear imaging in living cells at depth within specimens.
Handheld tachometer
30 September, 2009 | SI Instruments
The compact RheinTech Rotaro Digital handheld tachometer has two measuring methods: the optical and therefore non-contact method measures up to 99,999 rpm and the mechanical method, using an adapter and various probes to measure up to 19,999 rpm.
Microplate labelling system
30 September, 2009 | Agilent Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has introduced a microplate labelling system for automated on-demand and barcode print-and-apply applications in life science laboratories.
Complex biopolymer characterisation
30 September, 2009 | ATA Scientific Pty Ltd
The Malvern Viscotek TDAmax gel permeation/size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) system is an information-rich, time-efficient analytical solution for the comprehensive characterisation of complex food ingredients and additives based on polysaccharides.
DLReady certified microplate reader
22 September, 2009 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
BioTek Instruments’ Synergy Mx Monochromator-based Microplate Reader has been DLReady certified for dual-luciferase assays. This certification establishes the Synergy Mx as meeting the performance levels and standards for Promega’s Dual-Luciferase Reporter (DLR) Assay System - a widely used luminescence-based assay for measuring gene transcription and control in microplate format.
Racks
22 September, 2009 | Interpath Services Pty Ltd
As an extension to its comprehensive range of racks, SSI (Scientific Specialties Inc) has released the Revolver Rack.
Clostridium perfringens media
22 September, 2009 | Micromedia Laboratories
The anaerobic microorganism Clostridium perfringens is well known as a cause of food poisoning, with cooked meats and gravy presenting some of the greatest risks. Heat-resistant spores can survive cooking processes, germinating when food is subsequently held at ambient temperature. Improper cooling and reheating may then result in multiplication of the bacteria to levels high enough to cause illness when ingested, with clinical symptoms resulting from the action of an endotoxin produced in the gut.
Cell-based calcium assay
22 September, 2009 | United Bioresearch Products Pty Ltd
Enzo Life Sciences’ FluoForte Calcium Assay kit provides a homogeneous fluorescence-based assay for detecting intracellular calcium mobilisation across a broad spectrum of biological targets. The dye yields a bright signal and a large assay window. The kit provides a homogeneous mix-and-read, no-wash calcium mobilisation assay.
Cronobacter species media
22 September, 2009 | Oxoid Australia Pty Ltd
Oxoid has introduced two culture media for the fast and reliable identification of Cronobacter species (formerly known as Enterobacter sakazakii) from food and environmental samples.
Blood dry storage products
22 September, 2009 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
Biobanks are the intermediary between donors and research labs to ensure the safe, effective transfer of the biological information held in samples. The number of biobanks is increasing, as is the cost for power to store the samples at the appropriate refrigerated temperature. The current standard for storage is either at -20 or -70 °C. It is costly for biobanks not only to keep these samples cold, but also to house the refrigerators within their laboratories. New methods are being sought to allow storage at room temperature, thus reducing costs as well as being environmentally friendly. Qiagen has launched the QIAsafe DNA Blood Kit to provide easy transport and storage of whole blood at room temperature.
