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.
Laboratory filtration product guide
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited
Millipore has released a free laboratory filtration product guide, a single source for navigating Millipore’s offerings in sample preparation, water purification and environmental monitoring.
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).
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.

Graintec supplies rapid aflatoxin test kits for pet food and food manufacturers.
USB digital manometer
06 April, 2009 | Practical Control Solutions
The GDUSB1000 digital manometer plugs directly into the USB port of a PC and displays and records pressure measurements.
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.
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.
Plug-and-play titration sensors
06 April, 2009 | Mettler-Toledo Ltd
Mettler Toledo has released a range of plug-and-play titration sensors, designed for precise measurement of mineral oils and derived products.
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.
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.
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.
