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.
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.

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).
Automated cell counter
06 April, 2009 | Life Technologies
The Countess Automated Cell Counter offers easy and accurate cell counting and viability counts. It produces data on cell cultures in 30 s.
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.
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.
