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.
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.
Incubator CO2 analyser
06 April, 2009 | Geotech Systems Australia Pty Ltd
The Geotech G100 incubator CO2 analyser is an easy-to-use, handheld CO2 analyser accurate in the 0-20% range with a bright, clear display.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Instrument-grade acetylene
06 April, 2009 | Coregas Pty Ltd
Coregas has invested in a new $20 million liquid nitrogen plant extension at Port Kembla and a new acetylene facility (the nitrogen plant is already operational).
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.
Ultrasonic flaw detector
06 April, 2009 | Power Parameters Pty Ltd
The ultrasonic TUD 320 flaw detector from Time Group uses pulse echo, dual and through-transmission to perform its flaw detection functions.
Mutliphoton imaging
06 April, 2009 | Olympus Australia Pty Ltd
The FluoView FV1000MPE microphoton laser scanning microscope system offers bright clear imaging in living cells and deep within specimens.
PID temperature controllers
06 April, 2009 | Practical Control Solutions
Sanup Electrical Company has released the SDU line of PID temperature controllers.
Density meters
06 April, 2009 | Metrohm Australia & New Zealand
Anton Paar Generation M density meters are ergonomically designed and easy to use.
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.
