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.
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.
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.
Chiral HPLC/SFC columns
06 April, 2009 | Phenomenex Australia
The Lux line of polysaccharide-based columns is suitable for the identification and resolution of enantiomers. Lux columns are offered with two chiral stationary phases (CSPs), both of which use coated derivatised cellulose as the chiral selector. The two phases combine to create a dependable screening set with a wide range of selectivity. The Lux line is based on chiral technology that Phenomenex acquired along with the company Sepaserve.
Handheld XRF
06 April, 2009 | Bruker Pty Ltd
The TracerturboSD handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument uses a silicon drift detector (SDD) for improved speed, sensitivity and resolution. Bruker’s XFlash SDD, previously available only in high-performance laboratory XRF instruments, now offers speed and analytical specificity when integrated into the handheld TracerturboSD.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Single-wall carbon nanotubes
06 April, 2009 | Merck
SWeNT’s single-wall carbon nanotubes consist of a hollow cylinder of carbon with a diameter of approximately 1 nm.
Tribology cell
06 April, 2009 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
A measuring cell has been developed for testing the tribological behaviour of bearing materials with Haake Mars, RheoStress 6000 and other predecessor rheometers with a normal force sensor.
DG laboratory safety caps
06 April, 2009 | SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd
The DG Safety Cap is designed specifically for laboratories that handle highly aggressive gas-forming liquids or solvents that need to be transferred safely and cleanly.
Dissolved oxygen meters
06 April, 2009 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
The Thermo Scientific Orion Star series of portable optical dissolved oxygen meters includes the single-parameter 3-Star RDO meter, the dual-parameter 4-Star pH/RDO meter and the multi-parameter 5-Star pH/RDO/conductivity meter.
Hepatocyte isolation system
06 April, 2009 | Scimar
The Worthington Hepatocyte Isolation System has been designed to provide researchers with a reliable, convenient and consistent hepatocyte cell isolation system.
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.
