Glycan characterisation
09 June, 2009 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
Waters has released the UltraPerformance LC (UPLCÂ) analytical solution for the characterisation of 2-AB labelled glycans from glycoproteins. The UPLC solution combines the Acquity UPLC BEH Glycan Columns with the Acquity UPLC System equipped with fluorescence detection. Current FDA regulations require that firms developing and manufacturing therapeutic proteins are able to accurately characterise the glycans attached to those proteins to ensure the efficacy and safety of a biopharmaceutical product.
Urogenital mycoplasma diagnosis
09 June, 2009 | Dutec Diagnostics Pty Ltd
MycoView test enables the identification of the two species of urogenital mycoplasmas, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis from different urogenital specimens. The easy-to-interpret results feature visualisation of the growth by colour change.
HPLC detector control
09 June, 2009 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
Integrating a Corona ultra UHPLC detector with a Waters Acquity UPLC or Alliance HPLC system is easy due to the Empower 2 - Corona detector instrument control software driver. ESA Biosciences has announced that the driver for Waters’ chromatography control and data-analysis platform is available free of charge to new and existing users. The software driver comes standard with all new Corona detectors. The driver can also be used with ESA’s Corona CAD and Corona Plus detectors. Existing users can download a copy by visiting: http://www.esainc.com/services/software_downloads/empower_driver.
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.
Concrete testing machines
09 June, 2009 | Power Parameters Pty Ltd
Tinius Olson concrete testing machines can be used to determine compression, stress, strain, Young’s Modulus and flexural strength. The range of testing machines carrying out tests in accordance with ASTM, AASH, BS and EN standards includes portable, semi-automatic and automatic machines actuated by hydraulic pumps which provide a compressive force range from 50 to 3000 kN.
Chemical spill neutralisation kit
09 June, 2009 | Enware Australia Pty Ltd
The Nanoscale Fast-Act is a rapid response safety kit offering one-step neutralisation of either liquid or vapour spills. Fast-Act (First Applied Sorbent Treatment — Against Chemical Threats) has been successfully trialled on hydrofluoric acid at the Australian National University to complement its successful use on most toxic industrial chemicals and materials.
Particle sizing system
09 June, 2009 | Agilent Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has acquired Particle Sizing Systems, a privately held company that designs and manufactures instruments that measure the particle size and stability in materials ranging from soft drinks to ink jet inks to semiconductor polishing slurries.
High-density functional protein microarray
09 June, 2009 | Life Technologies
The ProtoArray Human Protein Microarray Version 5.0 is claimed to be the first high-density functional protein microarray to enable screening of a protein sample or other probe of interest against more than 9000 unique human proteins in a single, rapid experiment.
Liquid chromatography system
09 June, 2009 | Agilent Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
The Agilent 1290 Infinity liquid chromatography system has been designed to deliver greater power, speed and sensitivity for enhanced performance in the high-end ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) market.
Food protein analyser
09 June, 2009 | DKSH Australia Pty Ltd
All proteins in food contain the amino acids Arginine, Histidine and Lysine and CEM’s iTAG technology can bind to the three amino acids.
Ascentis Express HPLC columns
09 June, 2009 | Merck
The increased efficiency of the Fused-Core particle in the Ascentis Express HPLC columns enables users to use shorter columns and reduce acetonitrile use by up to 70%.
SMS 100 mercury analyser
09 June, 2009 | PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
The SMS 100 mercury analyser has been designed to improve the detection and measurement of mercury in solids and liquids and help minimise the need for complex sample preparation. The SMS 100 helps accurately measure mercury at low levels in a variety of sample types, enabling environmental laboratories, municipalities, power utilities, waste producers and food companies to comply with regulations and protect consumers.
