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.
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.
Solvent Track solvent recycler
06 April, 2009 | ALPE Pty Ltd
The Solvent Track solvent recycler is a system designed to recycle uncontaminated solvents used in isocratic HPLC systems. In most systems, a proportion of the mobile phase can be recycled and re-used, saving consumption and disposal costs.
Spectrometer input beam accessory
06 April, 2009 | PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
PerkinElmer has released an input beam accessory that expands the applications of the company’s Spectrum 400 and 100 Series spectrometers. The accessory allows the instruments to be used for analysis of external emitting samples, such as flames, hot or warm samples and gases from furnaces.
Flat motors
06 April, 2009 | maxon motor Australia Pty Ltd
The maxon motor range of brushless DC motors with integrated electronics features established drives EC 20 flat, EC 32 flat and EC 45 flat, but now they have in-built speed controllers, yet are almost the same size. The motors available as standard are the 2- and 5-wire versions, with an operating range of 2-50 W. The drives are suitable for use where there is minimal installation space, when long service life and constant speed are required at the same time as simple control operations.
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).
Texture analyser
06 April, 2009 | SI Instruments
The TMS-Pro System provides precise, objective and repeatable measurements of the texture of food products.
Handheld XRF
06 April, 2009 | Bruker Pty Ltd
The TracerturboSD handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument uses a silicon drift detector (SDD) for improved speed, sensitivity and resolution. Bruker’s XFlash SDD, previously available only in high-performance laboratory XRF instruments, now offers speed and analytical specificity when integrated into the handheld TracerturboSD.
Flash chromatography
06 April, 2009 | Grace Discovery Sciences
The Reveleris flash chromatography system has been designed to save time and minimise guesswork in purifications.
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.
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).
Cell particle processor
06 April, 2009 | Pathtech Pty Ltd
The Thermo Scientific Kingfisher Flex is a compact magnetic bead particle processing system for purification of DNA, RNA, proteins or cells. It can process 96 samples simultaneously and has a processing volume of 20 to 5000 µL.
Tension and compression test stand
06 April, 2009 | SI Instruments
The Mecmesin MultiTest-d test stands are available in 1 and 2.5 kN capacities. The stands work in conjunction with a Mecmesin digital force gauge and form an entry-level motorised test system for users who wish to evaluate quality control parameters of their products in tension and compression.
Microwave reaction system
06 April, 2009 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
Up to 40 high-pressure vessels per run can be processed with the MarsXpress High-Throughput Microwave Reaction System from CEM. MarsXpress offers intelligent and adaptive continuous temperature and pressure feedback control for all vessels all the time without the need for temperature and pressure connections.
