The MassTech Atmospheric Pressure Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation (AP/MALDI) source is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
Ion trap mass spectrometer
18 August, 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
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.
Microarray fluorescence reader
18 August, 2003 | Beckman Coulter Australia
Beckman Coulter has introduced a fluorescence-based CCD microplate reader for the automatic quantitation of hundreds of protein analytes on the A2 MicroArray Plate. The A2 MicroArray Reader has been specially designed to work with the A2 MicroArray System to quantitate multiplexed immunoassays. Part of the ProteomeLab family of products, this protein microarray system has the potential to allow users to detect and quantitate protein-protein interactions, protein immunoassays, DNA-protein interactions, enzymatic reactions and other protein assays.
Imaging Solution
18 August, 2003 | Thomson Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd
LVEM5 manufactured by Delong America is a novel solution for imaging in life sciences and macromolecular chemistry. The conception of the instrument offers imaging in TEM, STEM, SEM (BSE) or diffractionmodes.
Microscopy platform
18 August, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
IR thermometer/camera
14 July, 2003 | ECEFast
The Raytek MX6 is a handheld infrared thermometer with integral digital camera. Temperature measurements are made instantly and easily with the full function thermometer in the range of -30 to 900°C or with SZ option from -50 to 500°C. The target is accurately indicated with a bright coaxial circular laser which is accurate at any distance. Standard optics provide 60:1 distance to target ratio, while the CF option allows targets as small as 6 mm at 300 mm. The MX6 can be programmed with up to 100 customised locations by name and with alarms.
