Live cell manipulator
07 July, 2006 | Applied Nano Technologies
Laser tweezers are non-contact tools that use light to trap, move and fuse particles, cells or organisms. An infrared laser beam is focused through an objective lens to create an intense optical radiation field. The resulting photon pressure at the surface of the particle or cell enables the operator to move the cells at will, sorting, separating or collecting the cells as required. By combining the system with an ultraviolet laser, cells can be cut free of surrounding structures enabling micro dissection. Where two cells have been trapped by the laser tweezers, the ultraviolet laser can be used to cut the cell membranes allowing the cells to fuse together. A similar process enables operators to insert particles into the cell, for example fluorescent beads, or to perform targeted transfection into the cells of DNA or proteins.
Imaging system for gene therapy
07 June, 2006 | Total Lab Systems Ltd
The UVIchemi chemiluminescence imaging system can be used for imaging western blots which are an important method used to determine the effectiveness of gene transfer. In many cases, the images produced can be analysed (quantified) using UVIband analysis software also from UVItec.
Pressure calibrator
07 June, 2006 | WIKA Australia
With the CPH 6000 process calibrator, routine tasks in the field such as testing or calibrating pressure measuring instruments and pressure switches, are said to be made far easier.

An animal-free IPTG (isopropyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside) is available from BioVectra.
Electronic manual dispensers
07 June, 2006 | Eppendorf South Pacific Pty Ltd
The Multipette stream and Multipette Xstream electronic manual dispensers feature speed, precision, flexibility and the ability to dispense liquids/ materials with high vapour pressure and/or high viscosity without risk of contamination. The ergonomic design, coupled with easy operation, ensures nearly effortless work.
Chromatography chips
07 June, 2006 | Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has expanded its range of liquid chromatography chip/mass spectrometry modules, introducing five chips to study small and large molecules.
Blood bank refrigerators
07 June, 2006 | Bacto Laboratories Pty Ltd
The Dairei Twin range of blood bank refrigerators features stainless steel construction and a double compressor system. This technology offers two real benefits: firstly, the efficient normal operation of two compressors working together to obtain a better cooling system; secondly, and most importantly, the safety - if one compressor fails the second unit will automatically take control, keeping the fridge cool until the faulty compressor can be serviced.
