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.
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.
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.

Homogenising, emulsifying, crushing and dispersion
06 April, 2009 | John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd
ART’s Miccra series of mixers are designed for homogenisation, emulsification, suspension, dispersion and crushing. The mixers can be handheld or mounted on a post.
ICP sample introduction accessory
06 April, 2009 | Glass Expansion Pty Ltd
The Assist is an automated standalone accessory that is synchronised with the spectrometer and autosampler of an ICP-OES or ICP-MS instrument system. It consists of programmable dual syringe drives coordinated with an integrated valve system. The Assist delivers high levels of accuracy, stability and sample throughput by controlling the delivery of both sample and internal standard, eliminating the inaccuracies and pulsations caused by peristaltic pumps.
Thermo Haake EZ Cool 80 circulator
06 April, 2009 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
The Thermo Haake EZ Cool 80 circulator is a versatile option for laboratory cooling and heating needs from -10 to +80°C. Its bathless design minimises the evaporation of temperature fluid during daily use. The stainless steel circulator is both quiet and robust, making it suitable for laboratory use.
Dissolved oxygen meters
06 April, 2009 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

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.
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.
