HER2 assay kit
06 April, 2009 | Life Technologies
The FDA-approved Thermo Scientific Spot-Light HER2 CISH Kit is designed to allow users to perform an HER2 assay analogous to routine immunohistochemistry (IHC) that provides reliable gene status information and improves on the results obtained by fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH).
Chemisorption analyser
06 April, 2009 | Particle & Surface Sciences Pty Ltd
The Micromeritics AutoChem 2920 automated catalyst characterisation system is a fully automated chemisorption analyser that enables a wide array of studies of chemical adsorption and temperature-programmed reactions. It can acquire information about the physical properties of the catalyst, catalyst support or other materials, and can determine catalytic properties such as percentage of metal dispersion, active metal surface area, acid strength, surface acidity, distribution of strength of active sites, BET surface area and more.
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.
Liquid chromatography solvents
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Ltd
Reproducible HPLC separations require solvents to have a high degree of UV transmittance, low particle count, low acidity and alkalinity and a low level of evaporation residue. Merck’s LiChrosolv solvents meet these requirements; they are produced from specially selected raw materials and undergo a number of purification steps before final packaging.
Laboratory filtration product guide
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited
Millipore has released a free laboratory filtration product guide, a single source for navigating Millipore’s offerings in sample preparation, water purification and environmental monitoring.
Measuring sulfur-containing compounds
06 April, 2009 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
ESA Biosciences has developed a first stable, sensitive and robust analytical system that enables routine measurement of thiols, thioethers, disulfides and other sulfur-containing compounds.
Tribology cell
06 April, 2009 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
A measuring cell has been developed for testing the tribological behaviour of bearing materials with Haake Mars, RheoStress 6000 and other predecessor rheometers with a normal force sensor.
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.
Remote-controlled vacuum
06 April, 2009 | Javac Pty Ltd
KNF Lab’s wireless SC920 series vacuum pump system provides precise processing, quiet operation and wireless remote control regulation of all vacuums. The touch-screen remote provides full operation of the pump’s different operating modes and functions, allowing for flexibility and optimal use of laboratory space.
Interactive biological pathways database
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited
The Interactive Biological Pathways online tool includes 250 validated pathway maps, categorised by disease areas and cellular processes with direct links to technical and product-specific information.
HPLC column chiller/heater
06 April, 2009 | Edwards Group Pty Ltd
The EchoTherm CO50 HPLC column chiller/heater has a temperature range from 4 to 100 °C readable and settable to 0.1 °C.
Light-scattering protein analysis
06 April, 2009 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
The DynaPro NanoStar from Wyatt Technology is a dynamic light-scattering instrument that is used for the analysis of protein solutions, promiscuous inhibitors, buffers or other products in solution.
UV curing cell
06 April, 2009 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
To measure a given sample’s rheological properties before, during and after controlled exposure to UV radiation, a cylindrical UV curing cell has been developed for the Haake Mars, Haake RheoStress 6000 rheometers and the respective predecessor models.
Camsizer particle size analyser
06 April, 2009 | Metrohm Australia & New Zealand
The Camsizer is a compact laboratory instrument for simultaneous measurement of particle size distribution and particle shape of powders and granules.
