The ProScope's rugged construction makes the unit suitable for the K-12 classroom while still meeting the quality demands of working professionals from scientists to medical technicians and forensic experts.
Benchtop viable cell analyser
23 November, 2003 | Pryde Measurement Pty LtdUsing the capacitive sensor technique as the means for accurate analysis, the Aber 820 analyses viable biomass concentrations within a few seconds with accuracy and repeatability, eliminating dilution and manual counting under a microscope. In many cases such as highly clumped, filamentous or immobilised cells on carriers, the instrument provides a solution for estimating the viable biomass concentration.
Multi-dimensional HPLC
23 November, 2003 | ProteoMass Australia Pty LtdThe Micro-Tech Scientific range of HPLC products is suitable for conventional analytical applications, to specialised configurations featuring multi-dimensional nanoflow gradient capabilities.
Refrigerating/heating circulator
23 November, 2003 | Extech Equipment Pty LtdPolyScience has a high-performance circulator designed to provide precise cooling and/or heating for viscometers, electrophoresis cells and other laboratory devices. Compact and easy to use, the Model 9106 Refrigerating/Heating Circulator combines one-touch temperature selection, PID temperature control and ±0.05°C temperature stability to deliver efficient yet economical temperature control for all but the most demanding laboratory applications.
CO2 incubator
23 November, 2003 | Thermoline L+MHeal Force CO2 incubators are CE certified and available in two sizes. Both the 151 and 212 L models feature a 30 minute UV sterilisation program to optimise contamination elimination. The 151 L model is also available with a 90°C Moist Heat Disinfection program. By pressing a button on the control panel this operation is carried out automatically over a 9 hour period to provide complete disinfection of the incubator working chamber.
Multi-chemistry analyser
23 November, 2003 | Ai Scientific Pty LtdThe Seal AQ2 multi-chemistry analyser features a fully automated, inline cadmium reduction method for nitrate analysis. As many analysts use cadmium reduction as the method of choice, they can now combine all their routine analysis in one benchtop analyser.
Ice buckets and tube racks
23 November, 2003 | Mirella Research Pty LtdThe Mirella Research 'Handy' and 'Nicer' ice buckets are suitable for use in any laboratory. The long-lasting lightweight multi-purpose containers are unbreakable, leakproof and stackable. The PVC containers are moulded in one piece, making them very strong.
Pipette tips for proteomics
23 November, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty LtdVarian's OMIX pipette tips for microextractions feature a monolithic sorbent technology, achieving up to a 3-fold improvement in RSDs (relative standard deviations) and isolating up to 38% more peptide for more accurate and reproducible mass analysis.
Peptide/protein biomarker tools
20 October, 2003 | Bruker Pty LtdAutomated sample preparation is a key component of any biomarker discovery system. Bruker Daltonics is introducing a magnetic bead based system for the selective capture and enrichment of certain classes of peptides and proteins directly from serum, or from other biological samples.
Cryogenically cooled probes
20 October, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty LtdVarian's Interchangeable Flow Cell (IFC) accessory is designed to be used with the company's cold probes, in which the electronics are chilled to approximately -250°C for improved sensitivity. Equipped with the IFC accessory, the probes are highly complementary to LC-NMR/MS instrumentation and are claimed to provide up to three to four times more sensitivity than standard room-temperature probes for metabolites and natural product studies.
