Drug detection systems
07 November, 2007 | Pathtech Pty Ltd
With just one swipe of the Drugwipe device users can detect the unseen presence of drugs in the workplace. The Drugwipe device provides a screening test for the presence of drugs in saliva, allowing detection of current and very recent drug use. The Drugwipe device reduces testing time, is user friendly, sampling is less intrusive and may be performed anywhere. Users will be able to perform random and point of incident testing.
Wireless temperature monitoring system
07 November, 2007 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The AES Chemunex Labguard2 is a wireless system that continuously monitors laboratory equipment and automatically alerts users to any problems. Easy to use and install, the Labguard2 provides the data required for FDA CFR21 part 11 and GLP compliance.
Glassware traceability
07 November, 2007 | SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd
Schott Duran has introduced the Retrace Code, an eight-digit batch code shown on Schott Duran laboratory glass bottles, beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks and reagent bottles that allows the bottles to be retraced to the point of production, including the matching batch.

Bioprocessing filtration cassettes
05 October, 2007 | Pall (Australia) Pty Ltd
Omega T-Series Membrane Cassettes offer enhanced processing efficiencies and greater product recovery. The cassettes are constructed with high-performance materials that reduce extractables to deliver high-purity biological solutions. These cassettes assure effective mass transfer of proteins.
Cooling incubators
05 October, 2007 | Lomb Scientific (Aust) Pty Ltd
Friocell cooling incubators with forced thermoventilation from MMM are suitable for the incubation of test material from microbiological cultures used in quality assurance laboratories to test samples from the electronic industry.
Automatic chemistry vacuum pump
05 October, 2007 | John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd
The Vacuubrand PC 2001 Vario automatic vacuum offers a combination of high-performance mechanics and materials with modern electronic control technology. It is completely oil free, reaches an ultimate vacuum of 2.0 mbar and has the advantages of reliable chemistry diaphragm pumps. All gases and vapour contacting parts are made from optimally chemical-resistant plastics. The PC 2001 Vario is quiet when operational vacuum level is reached.
Food and wine test kits
05 October, 2007 | BEST Lab Instrumentation Pty Ltd
Scil Diagnostics has released the Enzytec range of rapid test kits.
Headspace analyser
05 October, 2007 | ALPE Pty Ltd
The HT280T is a single unit combining static headspace analysis, liquid sample injection and SPME (solid phase microextraction).
Compound library product guide
05 October, 2007 | United Bioresearch Products Pty Ltd
The Screen-Well collection of compound libraries from BIOMOL International are focused collections of compounds suitable for receptor de-orphaning, assay development and chemical genomics.
Clinical microscopes
05 October, 2007
VanGuard Microscopes has released a series of clinical compound microscopes.
Human gene array
05 October, 2007 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
Affymetrix has released the GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Array, the latest addition to its Whole-Transcript (WT) assay-based gene expression product family. With the Human Gene 1.0 ST Array design, each of the targeted 28,869 genes is interrogated by an average of 26 probes targeting exon content spread across the entire length of each gene.
BMG microplate reader
10 September, 2007 | BMG LABTECH Pty Ltd
The BMG Labtech Omega family of multifunction microplate readers feature high resolution and full UV/visible spectrometer-based absorbance. This family of readers combines all of the speed, sensitivity and flexibility needed for life science applications and research.
High-throughput preparative separations
10 September, 2007 | Phenomenex Australia
Phenomenex's AXIA is an advanced column packing and hardware design that is claimed eliminates bed collapse as a source of failure in short prep columns. Using hydraulic piston compression (HPC) technology, several fundamental problems faced daily by preparative chromatographers have been solved: collapse, voiding or channelling of the support bed after packing - causing premature column failure; variability in bed density - degrading overall reproducibility; low and/or variable efficiency - making scale-up from analytical more difficult; and peak distortion or asymmetry - reducing the return on each purification cycle.
Fast PCR on any real-time cycler
10 September, 2007 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
QuantiFast Kits are claimed to deliver faster results in real-time PCR. With time savings of up to 60% on existing cyclers claimed, there is no need for hardware upgrades. In addition, no PCR optimisation is required, even if using previously established assays. Kits are available for SYBR Green or probe-based detection in PCR, two-step RT-PCR and one-step RT-PCR.
