Single-use laboratory plastics
06 April, 2009 | VWR International Pty Ltd
Formerly part of Barloworld Scientific, Sterilin is a newly formed independent business, specialising in the manufacture of single-use laboratory plastics. Having adopted the name of its market leading brand Sterilin, this formed company will comprise four established product brands: Sterilin single-use plastics; Iwaki tissue culture Products; Sterilin Silicone Devices (formerly Esco Silicone Rubber); and Sterilin Packaging Products (formerly Azion Packaging).
ICP sample introduction accessory
06 April, 2009 | Glass Expansion Pty Ltd
The Assist is an automated standalone accessory that is synchronised with the spectrometer and autosampler of an ICP-OES or ICP-MS instrument system. It consists of programmable dual syringe drives coordinated with an integrated valve system. The Assist delivers high levels of accuracy, stability and sample throughput by controlling the delivery of both sample and internal standard, eliminating the inaccuracies and pulsations caused by peristaltic pumps.
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.
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.
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.
Clean area control
06 April, 2009 | Novasys Group Pty Ltd
Dycem Clean-Zone Premier is a high-performance contamination control zone designed to attract, collect and retain foot and wheelborne contamination, preventing particles and microbes from getting into critical areas. Dycem Clean-Zone is available in a range of attractive designs, looks good between wet cleaning and is suitable for light wheeled and heavier pedestrian traffic.
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.
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.
Automated confocal microscope
06 April, 2009 | Olympus Australia Pty Ltd
The FV10i automated confocal microscope is suitable for users unfamiliar with conventional confocal microscopy, featuring an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface.
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.
