Benchtop ion trap GC/MS
10 August, 2009 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian has released the 225-MS benchtop GC/MS (gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer). The 225-MS ion trap encloses all of its components, including the foreline vacuum pump, in one compact design. Intended for use in high-throughput laboratories for applications ranging from environmental analyses to product safety, the 225-MS addresses the issue of space limitations while offering improved performance at the same time.
PET media bottles

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.
Particulate sampler
10 August, 2009 | Ecotech Pty Ltd
Ecotech meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead (0.15 µg/m3, measured as total suspended particulates) monitoring requirement with its US EPA approved HiVol 3000 (RFPS-0706-162) and also with its latest particulate sampler, the MegaVol 3000.
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.
IgE testing
10 August, 2009 | Agilent Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has released the Hycor Ultra-Sensitive EIA System for allergen-specific IgE. The system is FDA-cleared for quantitative determination of specific IgE.
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.
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.
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.
FTIR spectrometer
10 August, 2009 | PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
The Spectrum 100S infrared (FTIR) spectrometer offers increased productivity and enhanced sensitivity for the analysis of even difficult samples.
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.
Microscopy cameras
10 August, 2009 | Scientific Instrument & Optical Sales
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.
Intrinsically safe Bunsen burner
10 August, 2009 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The Fireboy from Integra Biosciences is an intrinsically safe Bunsen burner which can be used for flame sterilisation.
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.
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.
