Emergency eyewash station
10 August, 2009 | Sieper & Co Pty Ltd
Kartell’s emergency eyewash station Art. 2386 is moulded in high-impact polystyrene. The directions are clearly printed on the support rack and the bottle can be filled with distilled water or other medicated liquid for ophthalmic use.
PCR cycler
10 August, 2009 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
The versatile Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR cycler features a centrifugal rotary design. Each tube spins in a chamber of moving air, keeping all samples at precisely the same temperature during rapid thermal cycling. Detection is similarly uniform.
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.
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.
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.
ROS/RNS detection kit
10 August, 2009 | Sapphire Bioscience
Enzo Life Sciences’ ROS/RNS Detection Kit is designed to directly monitor real-time reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) production in live cells using fluorescence microscopy. The kit includes three fluorescent dye reagents: nitric oxide detection reagent (red fluorescent), oxidative stress detection reagent (green fluorescent) for total ROS detection, and superoxide detection reagent (orange fluorescent).
Headspace preconcentrator
10 August, 2009 | Lasersan Australasia Pty Ltd
Entech Instruments has released the 7150 Headspace Preconcentrator, designed to recover thermally labile compounds for GC and GCMS applications, such as those containing sulfur, phosphorus and nitrogen compounds.
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.
Large particle flow cytometers
10 August, 2009 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
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.
Automated cell culture analysis
10 August, 2009 | Roche Diagnostic Systems
Roche Innovatis has launched Cedex HiRes, an image-based Cedex cell counter and analyser system for automated cell culture analysis. Cedex HiRes measures cell density, viability, aggregation rate, cell morphology and cell debris using the Trypan Blue exclusion method, with high-resolution digital image recognition.
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.
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.
