Pipette tips for proteomics
23 November, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian's OMIX pipette tips for microextractions feature a monolithic sorbent technology, achieving up to a 3-fold improvement in RSDs (relative standard deviations) and isolating up to 38% more peptide for more accurate and reproducible mass analysis.
Multi-dimensional HPLC
23 November, 2003 | ProteoMass Australia Pty Ltd
The Micro-Tech Scientific range of HPLC products is suitable for conventional analytical applications, to specialised configurations featuring multi-dimensional nanoflow gradient capabilities.
Refrigerating/heating circulator
23 November, 2003 | Extech Equipment Pty Ltd
PolyScience has a high-performance circulator designed to provide precise cooling and/or heating for viscometers, electrophoresis cells and other laboratory devices. Compact and easy to use, the Model 9106 Refrigerating/Heating Circulator combines one-touch temperature selection, PID temperature control and ±0.05°C temperature stability to deliver efficient yet economical temperature control for all but the most demanding laboratory applications.
Multi-chemistry analyser
23 November, 2003 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The Seal AQ2 multi-chemistry analyser features a fully automated, inline cadmium reduction method for nitrate analysis. As many analysts use cadmium reduction as the method of choice, they can now combine all their routine analysis in one benchtop analyser.
CO2 incubator
23 November, 2003 | Thermoline L+M
Heal Force CO2 incubators are CE certified and available in two sizes. Both the 151 and 212 L models feature a 30 minute UV sterilisation program to optimise contamination elimination. The 151 L model is also available with a 90°C Moist Heat Disinfection program. By pressing a button on the control panel this operation is carried out automatically over a 9 hour period to provide complete disinfection of the incubator working chamber.
Benchtop viable cell analyser
23 November, 2003 | Pryde Measurement Pty Ltd
Using the capacitive sensor technique as the means for accurate analysis, the Aber 820 analyses viable biomass concentrations within a few seconds with accuracy and repeatability, eliminating dilution and manual counting under a microscope. In many cases such as highly clumped, filamentous or immobilised cells on carriers, the instrument provides a solution for estimating the viable biomass concentration.
Ice buckets and tube racks
23 November, 2003 | Mirella Research Pty Ltd
The Mirella Research 'Handy' and 'Nicer' ice buckets are suitable for use in any laboratory. The long-lasting lightweight multi-purpose containers are unbreakable, leakproof and stackable. The PVC containers are moulded in one piece, making them very strong.
Image analysis tools
20 October, 2003 | SciTech Pty Ltd
Media Cybernetics has released an upgrade of Gel-Pro Analyzer. Gel-Pro Analyzer is designed for molecular biologists who acquire images from electrophoretic gels, blots and colonies and need to extract qualitative and quantitative information from them. Unlike competitive products that require manual input by the user which is time-consuming and leads to irreproducibility, Gel-Pro Analyzer automates molecular weight and amount calculation through the use of pattern recognition of objects, lanes and bands.
Peptide/protein biomarker tools
20 October, 2003 | Bruker Pty Ltd
Automated sample preparation is a key component of any biomarker discovery system. Bruker Daltonics is introducing a magnetic bead based system for the selective capture and enrichment of certain classes of peptides and proteins directly from serum, or from other biological samples.
Cell manipulation
20 October, 2003 | Cell Engineering Ltd
A range of micro-pipettes enables scientists to micro-inject cells that until now have been difficult to inject.
Microscopy platform
20 October, 2003 | Leica Microsystems Pty Ltd
Leica Microsystems has released a series of digital microscopes that simplify microscopy. The series includes the Leica DM4000 B and DM5000 B for routine and research biological applications, diagnostics, cancer research, cell biology and biotechnology.
Ion trap mass spectrometer
20 October, 2003 | Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has introduced an ion trap mass spectrometer that is claimed to be approximately 10 times more sensitive than its predecessor. The increased sensitivity, resolution and scan speed of the Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD Trap XCT promise improved performance for many applications such as the identification and characterisation of biologically significant, low-abundance proteins for disease research.
Quantitative innoculating loops
20 October, 2003 | Interpath Services Pty Ltd
Interpath Services has a range of accurately calibrated nickel-chrome (NiChrome) wire loops for performing quantitative specimen cultures.
Cryogenically cooled probes
20 October, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian's Interchangeable Flow Cell (IFC) accessory is designed to be used with the company's cold probes, in which the electronics are chilled to approximately -250°C for improved sensitivity. Equipped with the IFC accessory, the probes are highly complementary to LC-NMR/MS instrumentation and are claimed to provide up to three to four times more sensitivity than standard room-temperature probes for metabolites and natural product studies.
Microplate reagent dispenser
20 October, 2003 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The µFill Microplate Reagent Dispenser offers an economical, compact and reliable alternative to existing microplate dispensers. Accurate and precise dispensing are guaranteed without recalibration, cassette replacement, and maintenance commonly associated with other dispensers. An autoclavable model is also available for those applications requiring a sterile fluid bath.
