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.

Digital microscopy camera

Tucsen Digital Imaging Technology specialises in the practical application of high-performance digital cameras. The company, which manufactures C mount USB2.0 cameras for microscopy, has announced three new cameras.

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.

Dewpoint hygrometer

10 August, 2009 | Lear Siegler Australasia Pty Ltd

The Michell Instruments MDM300 advanced dewpoint hygrometer can be used to accurately measure dewpoints as low as -70 °C in less than 10 minutes.

Industrial contaminants assays

10 August, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited

Millipore has released the VOC-Pak cartridge for removal of volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) from ultrapure water. Scientists performing analyses on these common industrial contaminants can now be assured of having VOC-free ultrapure water for their work.

Automated rubber hardness tester

10 August, 2009 | Testequip Pty Ltd

The GS-680 is a micro rubber hardness tester that can be used to measure international rubber hardness (IRHD-M method) complying with ISO 48 or the like, regarding to the hardness of vulcanised rubbers and thermoplastics. The model is a fully automated measuring type and applicable software is also included allowing simple operation via a PC.

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. All NanoSuite 5.0 functions have been optimised to help researchers run tests and manage data with speed and ease.

Glycaemic index and resistant starch analysers

10 August, 2009 | Next Instruments Pty Ltd

Stadvis has signed a worldwide licence to commercialise an automated technique developed by the CSIRO Food Futures National Research Flagship to measure glycaemic index (GI) and resistant starch (RS) in foods and cereals.

Salmonella detection kit

10 August, 2009 | Life Technologies

Applied Biosystems has announced the certification of its TaqMan Salmonella enterica Detection Kit for the identification of Salmonella in peanut butter through the Emergency Response Validation program of the AOAC Research Institute.

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.

Near infrared transmission analyser

10 August, 2009 | Next Instruments Pty Ltd

The Series 2000 near infrared transmission analyser is a diode array spectrometer that uses a selection of sample cells to collect near infrared transmission spectra through liquid, suspensions and emulsions, such as lotions and creams. The Series 2000 scans the wavelength range from 720-1100 nm in transmission and transflectance modes. Organic molecules containing O-H, C-H and N-H bonds exhibit strong NIR absorbance bands within this region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Tensile wedge grips

10 August, 2009 | IDM Instruments

IDM Instruments has available heavy-duty, self-tightening wedge grips for tensile applications. With a capacity of 5.3 kN, the grips are suitable for a range of tensile testing requirements, when used together with a motorised test stand.
