BCL 8 bar code reader
06 March, 2008 | Balluff Pty Ltd
The use of bar codes and suitable bar code reading systems can open up scope for the simple automation and optimisation of pathology operating processes. With the aid of a very small bar code reader, this technology can be used even in miniaturised systems and devices or wherever space is at a premium. The BCL 8 is the size of a matchbox, making it suitable for solutions under even the most cramped conditions.
High-definition MS system
06 March, 2008 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
As a tool, conventional mass spectrometry is a good method for differentiating between proteins with different masses. However, as different folded forms of a particular protein have identical masses, it is virtually impossible to differentiate them by conventional means. That's where the Waters Synapt HDMS system and its embedded ion mobility technology can help.
Slab gel analysis system
06 March, 2008 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
Analysis of DNA fragments, such as single- or multiplex PCR products and qualitative and quantitative RNA analysis, is easy and fast with the QIAxcel system. It fully automates sensitive, high-resolution capillary electrophoresis of up to 96 samples per run.
Custom-made blood and sample collection tubes
06 March, 2008 | United Bioresearch Products Pty Ltd
The SCAT series of collection tubes have been developed specifically to minimise in vitro artifact by rapidly quenching unwanted protease activity.
Large display pH pens
06 March, 2008 | ProSciTech
Sper Scientific pH pens feature a large LCD and are designed for simple, one-hand operation. Not only are the pH pens waterproof (IP 65), but model 850052 has a resolution of 0.01 and an accuracy of ±0.05 pH.
Acute respiratory disease test

New standard in routine FTIR
07 February, 2008 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
The ALPHA is the FT-IR spectrometer for your basic infrared analysis. It enables quick, easy and reliable FT-IR analysis.
Polarimeters
07 February, 2008 | PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
The optical null principle, with automatic rotation of the analyser, is the basis of PerkinElmer’s polarimeters. This principle, combined with microprocessor electronics, results in an instrument which combines high accuracy and precision with simple operation. The operating principle of the Series 341/343 polarimeters ensures accuracy of ±0.02° for optical rotations £1°. The instrument’s automatic gain adjustment and selectable integration times allow users to measure the optical rotation of even stronger absorbing samples with high accuracy.
Microbiology system
07 February, 2008 | ALPE Pty Ltd
The Biomic V3 Microbiology System now performs semi-automated reading for all varieties of Etest (AB Biodisk) strips. An enlarged plate image with the Etest strip(s) and its drug-specific MIC scale is displayed on-screen. The user selects the appropriate MIC value, triggering an S-I-R interpretation. Etest results can be printed or transferred to an LIS. High resolution colour Etest images can also be saved for future review.
Dietary fibre extractors
07 February, 2008 | Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd
Dietary fibre including cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, pectin, rubbers and waxes can be determined by digestion with thermostable enzymes in foods and animal feeds. AOAC International (Official Methods of Analysis) has proposed enzymatic method 985.29.
Real-time transilluminator
07 February, 2008 | Life Technologies
With the E-Gel Safe Imager Real-Time Transilluminator, users can watch migration of DNA bands in real time when carrying out electrophoresis using the E-Gel iBase and E-Gel Pre-Cast Agarose gel containing SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain. The transilluminator is designed to fit beneath the E-Gel iBase Power System and is intended for use with E-Gels containing SYBR Safe. Blue light emitted by the instrument is suitable for viewing DNA that is stained with SYBR Safe.
