Dialysis for IC
18 August, 2003 | Metrohm Australia & New Zealand
Samples for ion chromatography need to be clear, clinically pure, with no bacteria or particles. Apart from the ions to be determined, however, most samples still contain large amounts of aggressive substances that make an analysis difficult. With 'MISP', the Metrohom inline sample preparation system, Metrohm now provides a range of possibilities and methods that allow users to automate sample preparation and make it considerably more efficient than was previously possible.
Peptide/protein biomarker tools
18 August, 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.
AP/MALDI
18 August, 2003 | ProteoMass Australia Pty Ltd
The MassTech Atmospheric Pressure Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation (AP/MALDI) source is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
Quantitative innoculating loops
18 August, 2003 | Interpath Services Pty Ltd
Interpath Services has a range of accurately calibrated nickel-chrome (NiChrome) wire loops for performing quantitative specimen cultures.
Pipetting robot
18 August, 2003 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
Theonyx is an automation platform developed by MWG Biotech in partnership with Sias AG. Theonyx is characterised by flexibility as the system's modular set-up allows the combination of a multitude of functions on just one robot. Liquid handling dynamics are driven by a micro annular gear pump mechanism within the robot arm itself. For the user this means a dynamic range of less than 1 µL up to more than 3 mL, within a single pipetting action, and without compromises in accuracy or precision.
Microplate reagent dispenser
18 August, 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.
Flash point tester
14 July, 2003 | John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd
The Setaflash Series 3 flash point tester has been designed for rapid testing and spot checks for most user applications. Checking flash point is important during inspection and analysis of many products. For example, in the classification of potentially hazardous substances where storage, transport and disposal charges are based on flammability and where incorrect classification can lead to significant added costs.
Laboratory catalogue
14 July, 2003 | Hanna Instruments Pty Ltd
Hanna Instruments 2003 General Catalogue (25th Edition) is available for distribution.
Automated pipette
14 July, 2003 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The 'HandyStep electronic' from Brand is a microprocessor-controlled, battery-operated pipette with automatic tip size recognition for the encoded Plastibrand PD-Tips. It is also compatible with most standard dispenser tips, including Combitips and Combitips Plus, by manually entering the tip size.
Tubing assembly
14 July, 2003 | Omnifit Ltd
Omnifit has developed a tubing assembly with leak-tight gripper fittings for fluid transfer in spectrophotometers. Each flow cell consists of a glass tube held in an aluminium housing. The requirement was for a PTFE tubing assembly with fittings that would seal to the glass surface of the flow cell while accommodating variations in the alignment between the cell and its housing. The dimensions of the flow cell tubing were 1.6 mm OD and 1.0 mm ID.
Portable digital vibrometer
14 July, 2003 | Warsash Scientific Pty Ltd
Polytec's portable multi-purpose non-contact vibration system, the PDV-100 combines optics and digital signal processing to measure surface vibration velocity without contact, utilising Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) technology. The system yields good measurement performance, ease of use and long-term calibration stability in a portable and robust package.
Film seal testing
14 July, 2003 | IDM Instruments
The Hot Tack Tester is an advanced system for monitoring the seal performance of flexible and semi-rigid plastic films and laminates.
LA300 particle size analyser
14 July, 2003 | BEST Lab Instrumentation Pty Ltd
The LA300 is a QC instrument designed for liquid dispersion work in the range 0.1 to 600 µm, and is suitable for pharmaceutical applications. It is compact, easy to use, and able to handle difficult sample types with ease.
Analytical QC LIMS
14 July, 2003 | Thermo Electron Corporation
Thermo LabSystems has announced that Analytical Quality Control (AQC) functionality is now available as part of the latest version of its Nautilus LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System).
Ductless fume cabinets
14 July, 2003 | Gallay Medical & Scientific Pty Ltd
The Captair range of ductless recirculating fume cabinets is suitable when the installation of a fully ducted system is difficult or uneconomical within an existing work environment. Duct route, exhaust location or existing walls can make a ducted system too expensive and complicated.
