Union Biometrica COPAS large particle flow cytometers can be used to analyse, sort and dispense objects that are too large (20-1500 µm) or too delicate for traditional flow cytometers.
Single-use bioreactor
10 August, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited
The Mobius CellReady 3L Bioreactor is a ready-to-use three-litre bioreactor which demonstrates all the benefits typically associated with single-use processing, while incorporating standard design features familiar to customers already using benchtop, stirred-tank bioreactors.
Automated colony counter and zone sizing system
10 August, 2009 | Don Whitley Scientific Australia
Synbiosis has launched the ProtoCOL 2 system for rapid, accurate automated colony counting and zone measurement.
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).
Capping head load tester
10 August, 2009 | SI Instruments
SI Instruments has released TehloTest, a wireless edition of its Head Load Tester which is used in wineries throughout Australia.
Pilot-scale tablet press
10 August, 2009 | GEA Process Engineering Pty Ltd
GEA Pharma Systems has introduced the Courtoy ModuL P Tablet Press (P for pilot scale) to meet the demand for increased flexibility and product containment when working with potent compounds, especially with regards to small-scale tablet presses.
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.
Vinification multiparameter analyser
10 August, 2009 | ALPE Pty Ltd
Enotech is a random access analyser for automatic, multiparameter analysis for enzymatic and colorimetrical tests for process control of vinification as well as the quality of the end product. Parameters that can easily be automated include glucose/fructose, malic acid, acetic acid, free and total SO2, copper, amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen as well as many more.
Atomic force microscope for life sciences
10 August, 2009 | SciTech Pty Ltd
The JPK NanoWizard II Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) represents the latest in AFM technology for life sciences. It is designed to maximise stability, performance and ease of handling with samples in fluid and for full integration with optical microscopy.
Nanomechanical testing software
10 August, 2009 | Agilent Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has released a more powerful version of its NanoSuite software package (formerly known as TestWorks). Designed for use with the company’s line of nanoindentation and tensile-testing instruments, NanoSuite 5.0 software offers advanced features such as enhanced imaging capabilities, survey scanning and a new test method development environment.
