The Phoenix line of microwave-powered muffle furnaces can be used to ash samples in minutes. Available in two configurations with a variety of options, the system offers a choice of either a high-temperature furnace, reaching 1200°C, or a high-capacity furnace, reach 1000°C.
Hanging cell culture inserts
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited
Hanging Millicell cell culture inserts are available pre-loaded into 24-well receiver trays. The pre-loaded assembly saves time and labour across a range of experimental protocols.
Spectrometry analysis software
06 April, 2009 | B-R Controls Pty Ltd
The Applied Analytics Eclipse Process 10 online analyser software has improved control over the detection system compared to previous versions, allowing for instantaneous user interface response. Simultaneous analysis and calibration methods (ACM) can also be configured with version 10.
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.
Flat motors
06 April, 2009 | maxon motor Australia Pty Ltd
The maxon motor range of brushless DC motors with integrated electronics features established drives EC 20 flat, EC 32 flat and EC 45 flat, but now they have in-built speed controllers, yet are almost the same size. The motors available as standard are the 2- and 5-wire versions, with an operating range of 2-50 W. The drives are suitable for use where there is minimal installation space, when long service life and constant speed are required at the same time as simple control operations.
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.
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.
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.
Vibration tester
06 April, 2009 | Power Parameters Pty Ltd
The Time Group TV300 vibration tester measures acceleration, velocity, displacement, rotational velocity and frequency. The display permits multi-parameter visualisation, including spectra.
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.
High-speed mixing
06 April, 2009 | INOX Australia
The Inox 300 L Instantiser dissolves and disperses viscous solids, semi-solids and powders.
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.
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.
Homogenising, emulsifying, crushing and dispersion
06 April, 2009 | John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd
ART’s Miccra series of mixers are designed for homogenisation, emulsification, suspension, dispersion and crushing. The mixers can be handheld or mounted on a post.
