Supelco moulded Thermogreen LB-2 GC septa are available in two versions, without and with an injection hole.
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.
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.
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.
Melamine test kits
06 April, 2009 | Graintec Pty Ltd
The Romer Labs AgraQuant ELISA test kit has been designed to meet the updated regulatory limits for melamine in food products.
Time-of-flight LC/MS
06 April, 2009 | Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
The 6230 Accurate-Mass time-of-flight (TOF) LC/MS system can detect and identify compounds in amounts smaller than 2 pg, making it suitable for food safety, toxicology and other measurements where minute amounts of compounds must be identified.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Microwave reaction system
06 April, 2009 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
Up to 40 high-pressure vessels per run can be processed with the MarsXpress High-Throughput Microwave Reaction System from CEM. MarsXpress offers intelligent and adaptive continuous temperature and pressure feedback control for all vessels all the time without the need for temperature and pressure connections.
