The TGA701 thermogravimetric analyser from LECO determines weight loss as a function of temperature in a controlled environment.
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.
Instrument-grade acetylene
06 April, 2009 | Coregas Pty Ltd
Coregas has invested in a new $20 million liquid nitrogen plant extension at Port Kembla and a new acetylene facility (the nitrogen plant is already operational).
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).
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.
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.
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.
Melamine food safety test method
06 April, 2009 | Bruker Pty Ltd
A 5-minute LC-MS/MS analysis method has been developed for the detection and quantification of melamine and cyanuric acid (CA) by food safety laboratories.
Single-wall carbon nanotubes
06 April, 2009 | Merck
SWeNT’s single-wall carbon nanotubes consist of a hollow cylinder of carbon with a diameter of approximately 1 nm.
Polar compound column
06 April, 2009 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
Waters has an addition to its line of XBridge analytical columns. The XBridge HILIC Columns provide improved retention of very polar compounds that are otherwise difficult to retain by traditional reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
