Colour analysis cabinet
06 April, 2009 | IDM Instruments
The IDM Colour Check Cabinet is manufactured to assess colour changes under different light sources: fluorescent artificial daylight, incandescent source, fluorescent and UV black light.
UV curing cell
06 April, 2009 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
To measure a given sample’s rheological properties before, during and after controlled exposure to UV radiation, a cylindrical UV curing cell has been developed for the Haake Mars, Haake RheoStress 6000 rheometers and the respective predecessor models.
Polar compound column
06 April, 2009 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
Waters has an addition to its line of XBridge analytical columns. The XBridge HILIC Columns provide improved retention of very polar compounds that are otherwise difficult to retain by traditional reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
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.
Thermal analysis systems services
06 April, 2009 | Mettler-Toledo Ltd
Mettler Toledo has introduced a portfolio of services that combine knowledge and experience to help users improve cost control and reaction time, increase output and minimise risk of failure.
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

Nanostructure analysis
06 April, 2009 | Metrohm Australia & New Zealand
The Anton Paar SAXSess is a small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) instrument that can be used to analyse nanostructures present in all different kinds of samples, from liquids (eg, colloids, protein solutions) to solids (eg, polymer films, nanocomposites). It adds precision to scientific investigation and reliability to industrial analysis.
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).
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.
Liquid chromatography solvents
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Ltd
Reproducible HPLC separations require solvents to have a high degree of UV transmittance, low particle count, low acidity and alkalinity and a low level of evaporation residue. Merck’s LiChrosolv solvents meet these requirements; they are produced from specially selected raw materials and undergo a number of purification steps before final packaging.
