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.
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.
High-resolution scales

Algae monitoring
10 August, 2009 | Bestech Australia Pty Ltd
The bbe Modaenke AlgaeTorch allows rapid measurement of toxic algae in water used for drinking and recreation purposes. The handheld device allows a measurement of total algae and blue-green algae, the most common source of toxic blooms. There is a display on the instrument so users can instantly assess whether there is a health risk in water to be used for drinking, swilling, skiing etc, rather than needing to wait for laboratory test results.
Environmental Listeria testing
10 August, 2009 | Intermed
An effective Listeria monitoring program can be inhibited by the cost and complexity of the available tests, or by the need to send samples out to an external laboratory. One way to help manage the costs and provide faster feedback is to use an easy, low-cost test that can be used in house.
