Ion analysis by capillary electrophoresis kits
09 June, 2009 | Beckman Coulter Australia
Beckman Coulter has introduced two kits for anion and cation analysis on the company’s P/ACE MDQ System. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis of ions performed using these kits delivers efficient, rapid separations with small sample requirements and short preparation times. The kits incorporate a dynamic coating technology that claims to produce more consistent migration times than other approaches.
Melting point determination
09 June, 2009 | Arrow Scientific
The OptiMelt system provides a fast and accurate means of automatically determining the melting points and melting ranges of chemical substances. With microprocessor-controlled temperature ramping and a built-in digital camera, OptiMelt offers a fast and accurate method to measure melting point of products such as butter, margarine, chocolate as well as pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
Twin column test stands
09 June, 2009 | SI Instruments
Mecmesin twin column testing frames provide the opportunity to test physically larger specimens and apply loads up to 25 kN. The increased load allows samples up to 400 mm wide and 950 mm high to be accommodated. Each test frame has been designed to deliver high stiffness — often necessary in high load, low elongation testing applications — and are driven by twin, pre-loaded, synchronised ballscrews.
