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.
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.
Mutliphoton imaging
06 April, 2009 | Olympus Australia Pty Ltd
The FluoView FV1000MPE microphoton laser scanning microscope system offers bright clear imaging in living cells and deep within specimens.
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.
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.
Thermo Haake EZ Cool 80 circulator
06 April, 2009 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
The Thermo Haake EZ Cool 80 circulator is a versatile option for laboratory cooling and heating needs from -10 to +80°C. Its bathless design minimises the evaporation of temperature fluid during daily use. The stainless steel circulator is both quiet and robust, making it suitable for laboratory use.
Colorimetric monitors
06 April, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
The ABB Aztec 600 aluminium, iron and manganese colorimetric monitors offer accuracy with simple operation and maintenance for potable water treatment applications.
Benchtop freeze dry system
06 April, 2009 | VWR International Pty Ltd
FreZone Freeze Dry Systems feature a compact benchtop design to fit on a laboratory cart or countertop. The units are suitable for personal use by one researcher. The LCD system set-up and operating parameters may be user-configured to display vacuum in mBar, Pa or Torr and temperature in °F or °C. It also displays total number of hours of refrigeration operation and the total number of hours of vacuum pump operation — including the last time they were both serviced.
Chemisorption analyser
06 April, 2009 | Particle & Surface Sciences Pty Ltd
The Micromeritics AutoChem 2920 automated catalyst characterisation system is a fully automated chemisorption analyser that enables a wide array of studies of chemical adsorption and temperature-programmed reactions. It can acquire information about the physical properties of the catalyst, catalyst support or other materials, and can determine catalytic properties such as percentage of metal dispersion, active metal surface area, acid strength, surface acidity, distribution of strength of active sites, BET surface area and more.
Electroporation protocols
06 April, 2009 | Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd

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).
Aerosol-based HPLC detector
06 April, 2009 | Grace Discovery Sciences
The Nano Quanty Analyte Detector (NQAD) is an aerosol-based HPLC detector which claims improved performance over other aerosol detectors.
PID temperature controllers
06 April, 2009 | Practical Control Solutions
Sanup Electrical Company has released the SDU line of PID temperature controllers.
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.
