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.
Full range of flowmeter products
07 February, 2008 | Duff & Macintosh
Duff and MacIntosh has introduced a number of flowmeter products to Australia, with many brand names of flowmeters over the years.
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.
Digesters
09 January, 2008 | Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd
The mineralisation units of the DK series digesters are designed for digesting solid and liquid samples in order to determine the nitrogen/protein content according to the Kjeldhal method. Velp digesters are made up of an aluminium heating block which offers good thermal homogeneity, with a maximum working temperature of 450°C. The block's temperature is controlled by dedicated microprocessor electronics. The temperature probe does not require calibration since the electronics performs self-calibration every time the device is turned on. All of this makes it possible to obtain high test precision and repeatability.
Pure water for clinical analyser laboratories
09 January, 2008 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
Elga Medica pure water systems can provide direct feed to clinical chemistry and immunology analysers used in pathology laboratories. The single box solutions have been purpose-built to power total pure water requirements for clinical pathology laboratories. The units are designed to supply either a single analyser or the total laboratory water requirement by feeding multiple analysers including dispense taps.
Signal isolator
09 January, 2008 | Innovec Controls Pty Ltd
The ISCX1 is a signal isolator that accepts a 4-20 mA signal with an input impedance of 50W or 0-10 VDC with an input impedance of 1 mW and provides an isolated output signal of 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC with an accuracy of 0.1%.
Virtual microscopy system for pathology
09 January, 2008 | Olympus Australia Pty Ltd
Olympus has updated its dotSlide digital virtual microscopy system which scans entire slides at high resolution and fidelity, making them accessible and fully navigable anywhere on the globe.
Protein association and aggregation system
09 January, 2008 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
Wyatt Technology's Calypso automated protein association and aggregation system enables the rapid, quantitative, nondestructive characterisation of protein-protein interactions in native solution using composition-gradient multi-angle light scattering (CG-MALS).
Rapid test for Campylobacter species
09 January, 2008 | Oxoid Australia Pty Ltd
Oxoid has introduced a rapid colorimetric test for the differentiation of Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Arcobacter species from other bacteria growing on solid culture media. OBIS campy is a simple two-test procedure that determines both Gram status and the presence or absence of L-alanyl aminopeptidase (L-ALA) activity within 2 mins.
DNA sequencing platform
09 January, 2008 | Applied Biosystems Pty Ltd
The Solid System DNA sequencing platform is claimed to enable new ways of performing genetic analysis applications.
Pressure- and vacuum-resistant glassware
09 January, 2008 | SCHOTT Australia Pty Ltd
The Schott Duran Pressure Plus laboratory glass bottle permits safe working under vacuum and pressure and provides increased safety to technicians and security to contents. The pressure and vacuum resistance is from -1 to +1.5 bar.
Deuterium lamp
09 January, 2008 | Heraeus Amba Australia Pty Ltd
Deuterium lamps, hollow cathode lamps and other light sources from Heraeus are engineered for long lifetime, high precision and stability.
Turbulent flow chromatography columns
06 December, 2007 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced a line of silica-based TurboFlow columns designed exclusively for use with Thermo Scientific Transcend Systems. The columns provide scientists in clinical research and pharmaceutical analysis the capability to integrate online sample preparation with LC-MS analysis. The TurboFlow XL columns enable researchers to reduce sample preparation time and minimise ion suppression, while providing faster analysis and more confident data.
Gene-based search tool
06 December, 2007 | Merck
Your Favorite Gene (www.sigma.com/yfg) is a comprehensive, web-based search tool that matches genes of interest against thousands of Sigma-Aldrich research products. This flexible search engine matches 150,000 shRNAs, 725,000 siRNAs, 4000 antibodies, proteins and kits, and 1000 bioactive small molecules to specific genes of interest.
