Electroporation protocols
06 April, 2009 | Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd
Bio-Rad Laboratories has released 12 protocols for electroporation of human primary cells and primary cell lines.
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.
Fluorometry standard
06 April, 2009 | DKSH Australia Pty Ltd
Hoefer has introduced a DNA standard for use in fluorometry.
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.
Ion chromatograph
06 April, 2009 | Metrohm Australia & New Zealand
The 850 Professional IC ion chromatography system features the MagIC Net software and the Metrosep iColumns.
Cryopreservation media
06 April, 2009 | Sapphire Bioscience
The cryopreservation media manufactured by Cellular Engineering Technologies can be used to freeze both adherent and non-adherent cells.
Antibody-based protein depletion column
06 April, 2009 | Merck
The Seppro IgY depletion platform is an antibody-based technology for processing plasma, serum and plant samples. It enables researchers to detect and analyse commonly obscured biomarkers in samples by removing highly abundant proteins.
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.
High-temperature XRD system
06 April, 2009 | PANalytical
PANalytical has released a capillary extension that is compatible with the combined X’Pert Pro MPD/HTK 1200N High-Temperature Oven Chamber (Anton Paar) system, creating a ‘two-in-one’ reflection and transmission high-temperature XRD system.
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.
Recombinant human albumin
06 April, 2009 | Novozymes Biopharma Au Limited
Novozymes has developed a range of recombinant human albumins (rHAs) (LONG R3IGF-I, Albufuse, CellPrime rAlbumin AF-S) suitable for industrial cell culture and biomedical applications, such as protein, drug and vaccine formulation and medical device coating.
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).
Dissolved oxygen meters
06 April, 2009 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
The Thermo Scientific Orion Star series of portable optical dissolved oxygen meters includes the single-parameter 3-Star RDO meter, the dual-parameter 4-Star pH/RDO meter and the multi-parameter 5-Star pH/RDO/conductivity meter.
Desktop electron microscope
06 April, 2009 | JEOL (Australasia) Pty Ltd
The JCM-5000 NeoScope desktop electron microscope provides a simple imaging procedure with auto focus, auto contrast/brightness and takes 3 minutes from sample loading to imaging.
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.
