Micro rheology instrument
10 August, 2009 | Scientific Solutions Pty Ltd
The Formulaction Rheolaser is a micro rheology instrument that can be used to measure the rheological properties of materials under zero shear as it measures those properties without any additional applied energy.
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.
