Dionex Application Note 245 dye determination

07 October, 2010 | Supplied by: Dionex Pty Ltd

Dyes have many applications in the food and beverage industries. Only a few have been approved for use in foods and beverages. Reversed-phase chromatography is a suitable technique for the analysis of dyes. Many dyes are hydrophobic, readily soluble in reversed-phase eluents and have strong visible and UV absorbance properties.

Revolution DSD white light confocal spinning disk microscope

07 October, 2010 | Supplied by: SciTech Pty Ltd

The Revolution DSD (differential spinning disk) white light confocal spinning disk microscope is based on ‘aperture correlation’ which achieves a high degree of optical sectioning by active background rejection. This technique ensures that the DSD delivers high-contrast, low-background images with objective magnifications from 10x to 100x, using air, water or oil immersion lenses, making it suitable for a wide range of live cell, developmental and fluorescence applications.
