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.
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.

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.
