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).
Antibody range
06 April, 2009 | Leica Microsystems Pty Ltd
The Bond RTU Antibodies range has been expanded with the Phase 8 release, which includes the antibodies Bcl-2 and Mismatch Repair Protein.
Haematology analyser
06 April, 2009 | Beckman Coulter Australia
The UniCel DxH 800 Coulter cellular analysis system is designed for mid- to high-volume laboratories. It features high-definition signal processing and multi-angle light scatter, which is claimed to produce more data than traditional haematology analysers. Moving parts are minimised to increase instrument reliability, and the modular design and small footprint make it suitable for smaller laboratories.
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).
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.
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.
Particulate monitoring
06 April, 2009 | Ecotech Pty Ltd
MetOne Instruments has announced that the BAM-1020 Beta-Attenuation Mass Monitor has been approved under Australian Standard AS/NZS 3580.9.11.2008 for the determination of particulate matter, PM10, using Beta attenuation.
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.
Interlocking racks
06 April, 2009 | Mirella Research Pty Ltd
The Mirella Research interlocking 4-way tube racks are heavy-duty, autoclavable polypropylene racks that feature a system of tabs and slots that allow users to create as large a rack as needed by linking multiple racks.
Pressure controller/calibrator
06 April, 2009 | Fluke Australia Pty Ltd
DHI’s PPC4 pressure controller/calibrator with a colour graphic display and point-and-click navigation delivers performance, versatility and long-term reliability.
Hepatocyte isolation system
06 April, 2009 | Scimar
The Worthington Hepatocyte Isolation System has been designed to provide researchers with a reliable, convenient and consistent hepatocyte cell isolation system.
DG laboratory safety caps
06 April, 2009 | SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd
The DG Safety Cap is designed specifically for laboratories that handle highly aggressive gas-forming liquids or solvents that need to be transferred safely and cleanly.
30-place microcentrifuge
06 April, 2009 | Eppendorf South Pacific Pty Ltd
Eppendorf has released the 5430, a 30-place microcentrifuge. Users have the choice of eight different rotors, for tubes from 0.2 up to 50 mL, microtest plates, deepwell plates and slides.
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.
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.
