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.
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.
Portable water quality measurement
06 April, 2009 | Australian Scientific
The Horiba Multi Water Quality Checker U-50 series portable water quality measuring system is capable of real-time, on-site measurement of up to 11 water-quality parameters, including pH and dissolved oxygen, in environmental waters such as rivers and lakes.

Microcentrifuge rack
06 April, 2009 | Interpath Services Pty Ltd
SSI has introduced the IsoFreeze MCT rack for microcentrifuge tubes to its range.
Spectrometry analysis software
06 April, 2009 | B-R Controls Pty Ltd
The Applied Analytics Eclipse Process 10 online analyser software has improved control over the detection system compared to previous versions, allowing for instantaneous user interface response. Simultaneous analysis and calibration methods (ACM) can also be configured with version 10.
Chiral HPLC/SFC columns
06 April, 2009 | Phenomenex Australia
The Lux line of polysaccharide-based columns is suitable for the identification and resolution of enantiomers. Lux columns are offered with two chiral stationary phases (CSPs), both of which use coated derivatised cellulose as the chiral selector. The two phases combine to create a dependable screening set with a wide range of selectivity. The Lux line is based on chiral technology that Phenomenex acquired along with the company Sepaserve.
