Automated dual reduction index furnace
06 April, 2009 | Modutemp Pty Ltd
Modutemp has combined several previously separate apparatuses to create a comprehensive, automated dual reduction index furnace. This furnace provides qualitative analysis of iron ore samples for reducibility. Chemists will now have the ability to extrapolate precise weight variations as a function of temperature, when measuring the percentage of reduction (loss of oxygen) in a parcel of ore.
Syringe filters
06 April, 2009 | Phenomenex Australia
Phenomenex has added regenerated cellulose (RC) syringe filters to its Phenex line. By removing particulates from the sample, the filters prevent build-up and blockage of chromatography columns and frits while minimising wear and tear on injection valves. Sample filtration can ultimately reduce system downtime and component replacement. The RC membranes deliver clean sample with no detectable leachates and they are compatible with HPLC, GC, IC and CE analysis.
Pocket-sized magnetic resonance imaging
06 April, 2009 | Magritek
Research scientists have developed small portable MRI scanners that perform their services in the field; for example, to examine ice cores.
DG laboratory safety caps
06 April, 2009 | SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd
The DG Safety Cap is designed specifically for laboratories that handle highly aggressive gas-forming liquids or solvents that need to be transferred safely and cleanly.
Vibration tester
06 April, 2009 | Power Parameters Pty Ltd
