'Noise thermometry' may help redefine international unit of temperature
06 June, 2008Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a system that relies on the ‘noise’ of jiggling electrons as a basis for measuring temperatures with extreme precision. The system may help define the Kelvin.
Digital multifunction instrument
08 April, 2008The Rish Master 3430 measures electrical parameters in three-phase and single-phase networks replacing the multiple analog panel meters
Signal isolator
09 January, 2008The ISCX1 is a signal isolator that accepts a 4-20 mA signal with an input impedance of 50W or 0-10 VDC with an input impedance of 1 mW and provides an isolated output signal of 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC with an accuracy of 0.1%.
Laser particle size analysers
06 December, 2007Cilas laser particle size analysers include features such as the short optical bench, intuitive software interface and a 2 in 1 design, which effortlessly integrates wet and dry modes in the same system. Cilas particle size analysers work on determination and on control of the particle size in powder matter, in suspension or in emulsion. Their technological solutions meet the needs of many and various fields including: cement, ceramics, manufacturing industries, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biology and food.
Wireless temperature monitoring system
07 November, 2007The AES Chemunex Labguard2 is a wireless system that continuously monitors laboratory equipment and automatically alerts users to any problems. Easy to use and install, the Labguard2 provides the data required for FDA CFR21 part 11 and GLP compliance.
Box and cardboard compression tester

08 June, 2007Brady Australia has extended its range of industrial printers to include the MiniMark Industrial sign and label maker, which can be used for basic facility equipment identification, wire and cable labelling and sign making.
Sensor technology
09 May, 2007A sensor being developed by a Sandia National Laboratories research team is claimed to be able to simultaneously detect thousands of biomolecules on a single platform.
Pressure calibrator
07 June, 2006With 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.
'Before' calibrations count more than many think
08 May, 2006 by Chris Sorensen, VP, Dickson CompanyNot that rigorous? Anathema though this thought may be to most pharmaceutical quality managers, it is nonetheless quite apparent to companies such as ours, which make products critical to maintaining quality in pharmaceutical and other applications
