Piezoresponse force microscopy monograph
06 April, 2009 | The Innovation Group Pty Ltd
Asylum Research and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have released a 24-page monograph explaining the theory, functionality and applications of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM).
Nanoscopic indenting
06 April, 2009 | The Innovation Group Pty Ltd
The Asylum Research MFP-3D NanoIndenter is an AFM-based indenter that does not use cantilevers as part of the indenting mechanism.
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.
High-speed mixing
06 April, 2009 | INOX Australia
The Inox 300 L Instantiser dissolves and disperses viscous solids, semi-solids and powders.
Flash chromatography
06 April, 2009 | Grace Discovery Sciences
The Reveleris flash chromatography system has been designed to save time and minimise guesswork in purifications.
Self-regenerating suppressor
06 April, 2009 | Dionex Pty Ltd
The SC-CSRS 300 Salt Converter Cation Self-Regenerating Suppressor is an eluent suppressor that can be used in place of a CSRS 300 or CAES cation suppressor in cases where increased sensitivity is required for the determination of ammonium and amines using conductivity detection. The design of the SC-CSRS 300 provides increased backpressure tolerance and maximum leak tolerance. The regenerant sweep-out design provides low noise and fast start-up.
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.
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.
Materials science catalogue
06 April, 2009 | Merck
Aldrich has released its Materials Science catalogue. The free catalogue features more than 4000 products for research in alternative energy, organic electronics, metal and ceramic science, nanomaterials, micro/nanoelectronics and polymer science. Each chapter contains technical information and highlights from some of the recent advances in these fields.
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.
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.
XRF petrochemical standards
06 April, 2009 | PANalytical
PANalytical has introduced a series of petrochemical standard sets for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) multiscopy that make reliable and accurate calibration a simple, convenient and cost-effective procedure. The standard sets are made to PANalytical specifications by VHG Labs. Sets are available for wear metals, lubrication oils, sulfur in diesel fuel and sulfur in oil.
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.
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.
