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.
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.
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-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.
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.
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.
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.
Dunkermotoren BG75 brushless DC motors
06 April, 2009 | M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
Dunkermotoren BG75 DC motors feature output powers up to 500 W and torques up to 5 Nm. They have sufficient reserves to take on numerous drive tasks in automation. Combined with components selected from a comprehensive package of equipment, the motors can become fully fledged, cost-effective and compact servo drives.
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.
Texture analyser
06 April, 2009 | SI Instruments
The TMS-Pro System provides precise, objective and repeatable measurements of the texture of food products.
Fluorometry standard
06 April, 2009 | DKSH Australia Pty Ltd
Hoefer has introduced a DNA standard for use in fluorometry.
Interactive biological pathways database
06 April, 2009 | Merck Pty Limited
The Interactive Biological Pathways online tool includes 250 validated pathway maps, categorised by disease areas and cellular processes with direct links to technical and product-specific information.
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.
