Automated cell culture analysis
10 August, 2009 | Roche Diagnostic Systems
Roche Innovatis has launched Cedex HiRes, an image-based Cedex cell counter and analyser system for automated cell culture analysis. Cedex HiRes measures cell density, viability, aggregation rate, cell morphology and cell debris using the Trypan Blue exclusion method, with high-resolution digital image recognition.
High-density thermocouple module for data acquisition
10 August, 2009 | National Instruments Aust Pty Ltd
The National Instruments NI 9213 adds high-density thermocouple measurements to the NI C Series platform. Using the NI 9213, users can create a compact, modular data acquisition system to collect data from up to 16 independent thermocouples. The NI 9213 takes up less space than standard instrumentation in a measurement system and provides more channels for measurement with a sampling rate of 75 samples/s/channel, making the device both compact and efficient for high-channel systems.
Laboratory and field balances
10 August, 2009 | Adam Equipment (SE ASIA) Pty Ltd
The PGL line of balances combines the solid construction and fundamental features of a high-precision, top-loading balance with the versatility of a portable.
Wine quality analysis
10 August, 2009 | Foss Pacific Pty Ltd
The Foss WineScan analyser uses Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to achieve multiple measurements of grape must, must under fermentation and wine in around 30 s. The timely availability of this information supports decisions such as when to pick grapes, how to control fermentation or when to bottle.
Human protein PCR assay
10 August, 2009 | Life Technologies
Applied Biosystems has introduced a line of TaqMan real-time PCR assays that enable researchers to rapidly detect and quantify proteins in human cell samples. The TaqMan Protein Expression Assays enable researchers to correlate relative levels of specific proteins with cell functions and behaviours, such as different disease conditions, or states of pluripotency or differentiation in stem cells.
High-resolution scales
10 August, 2009 | Sartorius Stedim Australia Pty Ltd
Resolutions in the milligram range, high overload protection and a rugged design are all features in the Sartorius Signum series of scales for fast and stable weighing results. The series now includes the high-resolution scales Signum Advanced (SIWA) and Signum Supreme (SIWS).
