Laser Light Scattering
29 October, 2000 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
Wyatt Technology multi-angle laser light scattering instruments enable users to determine absolute molar masses of polymers and biopolymers from below 1000 Daltons to hundreds of millions of Daltons. Wyatt has over 50 application notes available and a dedicated bibliography page on its web site with referenced publications of Wyatt instrument applications.
50 mm Trackerballs
14 September, 2000 | Control Devices Australia
Penny & Giles Computer Products has a range of 50 mm diameter trackerballs aimed at demanding applications like the industrial, medical and military markets. The trackerballs incorporate a design using PTFE coatings with the end result being a very smooth seal without the 'stickiness' normally associated with dustproof trackerball designs.
Thermohygrometers
14 September, 2000 | Kenelec Scientific Pty Ltd
TSI has two TH-Calc Thermohygrometers for measuring temperature and humidity. Each handheld instrument uses a single probe to measure multiple parameters. The Model 8720 measures temperature and humidity and calculates dew point. The Model 8722 adds data logging and performs wet bulb temperature, absolute humidity, humidity ratio and % outside air calculations.
Thermometer
14 September, 2000 | Pyrosales Pty Ltd
The Hart Scientific Chub-E4, model 1529 thermometer readout which includes four channels for reading thermocouples, PRTs, or thermistors. Accuracy levels are high enough for laboratory use, while battery power makes the Chub-E4 well suited for field applications.
Temperature Baths
14 September, 2000 | Pyrosales Pty Ltd
Hart Scientific temperature baths provide stable, uniform temperatures for calibrating thermocouples, PRTs, RTDs, thermistors and other types of thermometers. Each bath may be used on a benchtop or with its optional floor cart, which includes a built-in storage cabinet.
Micro Test Tube
14 September, 2000 | Eppendorf South Pacific Pty Ltd
The Eppendorf Standard Micro Test Tube 3810X has improved lid geometry. Opening and closing tubes is a lot easier, with the optimised lid hinge giving better positioning for sealing and enabling the entire lid surface to be closed evenly. Handling convenience is boosted by the specially developed slanting tube lip, which offers a larger surface for opening and closing.
Laboratory Analysers
14 September, 2000 | Lear Siegler Australasia Pty Ltd
Euroglas Analytical Instruments provides a range of instruments for laboratory analysis of total organic carbons, adsorbed organic halides (AOX) and total nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine.
Cell Culture Flasks
14 September, 2000 | In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd
The Nunc EasY Flask closure system allows users to open or close the flasks by a 1/3 turn of the cap. Once the cap is removed the large aperture and the optimally angled neck allow easy access to the entire growth surface of the flask with both pipettes and cell scrapers.
Mammalian Genomic DNA Purification Kit
14 September, 2000 | Merck
The Sigma GenElute Mammalian Genomic DNA Purification Kit provides a simple and convenient way to isolate pure high molecular weight DNA from a variety of mammalian sources.
Laptop Freeze Dryer
14 September, 2000 | In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd
The Lyolab 3000 laptop freeze dryer features a twin-capillary tube system called Power Dry. The principle reduces the time required to reach operating temperature, at the same time providing an ice tapping capacity in a compact laboratory freeze drying unit.
Horiba LB-500 particle Size Analyser
14 September, 2000 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The Horiba LB-500 Dynamic Light Scattering Particle Size Distribution Analyser is designed for nanoparticulate materials that are otherwise difficult to measure using conventional types of analysers.
