Nickel assay by X-ray spectrography
06 April, 2009 | XRF Scientific
A Thulium-based, higher precision X-ray analysis technique is suitable for assaying nickel in ore. Currently, production criteria is controlled using quantitative X-ray analysis with a chemical assay reference method (Wet Chemical DMG), which tests the ultimate purity of the nickel ore or concentrate. The current X-ray technique, however, has proven to have accuracy limitations resulting in the loss of potential revenue that can be realised from production. Moreover, the chemical DMG method is relatively expensive, complex and time consuming with the chemicals being dangerous to operators.

Handheld XRF
06 April, 2009 | Bruker Pty Ltd
The TracerturboSD handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument uses a silicon drift detector (SDD) for improved speed, sensitivity and resolution. Bruker’s XFlash SDD, previously available only in high-performance laboratory XRF instruments, now offers speed and analytical specificity when integrated into the handheld TracerturboSD.
DNA transfer system
06 April, 2009 | Life Technologies
The iBlot Transfer Device can be used for transferring DNA samples from agarose or polyacrylamide gels to nylon membranes in 7 minutes. It can be used to transfer protein from SDS-PAGE gels into nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes in 6 to 8 minutes, as compared with 90 minutes or more in conventional wet or semi-dry blotting.
