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.
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.
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.
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.
Protein conformation
20 October, 2003 | ATA Scientific Pty Ltd
Insights into protein function by direct, real-time, structural measurements without tags and the conformation changes associated with ions, pH, other proteins or molecules can be observed at a resolution of less than a tenth of a carbon-carbon bond length. Simultaneous measurements of mass, concentration and density provide a highly correlated perspective of activity, without radioactive or fluorescent tags.
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.
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.
Microtitre plate readers
20 October, 2003 | BEST Lab Instrumentation Pty Ltd
The Expert 96 Plate Reader from ASYS Hitech offers robust construction, high throughput and reliability in a low cost visible, or UV/vis plate reader. The Expert 96 system light sources have an expected lifetime of 10 million readings. In combination with a range of Windows-compatible software and a precise 8 channel optical system the Expert 96 system allows high throughput of plates. With reading speeds of around 5 s/plate and OD capability to 4.00 ODs, integral shaking and a small footprint, the Expert 96 is suited to the busy laboratory. The Expert 96 covers a wavelength range from 340 to 800 nm, or 400 to 800 nm for the non-UV version, and a selection of wavelength filters is available, with up to 6 filters mounted simultaneously.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cryogenic safety
21 September, 2003 | BOC Limited
BOC's national delivery service, Cryospeed is a team of service providers, who are trained in the safe delivery and handling of cryogenic liquids and can train staff in cryogenic safety procedures. Delivery options include scheduled milk runs, urgent same day delivery and emergency outside business house delivery of liquid nitrogen, liquid argon and equipment.
