High-throughput preparative separations
10 September, 2007 | Supplied by: Phenomenex AustraliaPhenomenex's AXIA is an advanced column packing and hardware design that is claimed eliminates bed collapse as a source of failure in short prep columns. Using hydraulic piston compression (HPC) technology, several fundamental problems faced daily by preparative chromatographers have been solved: collapse, voiding or channelling of the support bed after packing - causing premature column failure; variability in bed density - degrading overall reproducibility; low and/or variable efficiency - making scale-up from analytical more difficult; and peak distortion or asymmetry - reducing the return on each purification cycle.
Oligonucleotide separations technology
06 August, 2007 | Supplied by: Waters Australia Pty LtdWaters has introduced two sets of columns for the purification and analysis of oligonucleotides. The Acquity UPLC OST C18 columns have been specifically designed to work with the Waters family of Acquity UltraPerformance LC products. The XBridge OST C18 columns are designed for advanced oligonucleotide HPLC separations. Both products are suitable for purifying and analysing synthetic oligonucleotides including siRNA, primers and probes, therapeutic drugs made by oligonucleotide manufacturers, diagnostic kit makers, government and university laboratories, and biotechnology companies.
DLS plate reader
06 August, 2007 | Supplied by: Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty LtdThe DynaPro plate reader performs automated, high-throughput, temperature-controlled dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements with industry-standard well plates without perturbing the samples. This device is designed to achieve rapid screening of unfractionated samples and is suitable for a wide range of applications including protein crystallography, pharmaceutical formulation and antibody aggregation studies. The plate reader uses industry-standard 96, 384 or 1536 well plates and features built-in temperature control as well as compatibility with the industry's liquid handling robots.

Gel documentation and chemi-imaging
09 May, 2007 | Supplied by: Bio-Strategy Pty LtdThe Alpha Innotech gel documentation and chemi-imaging systems include a complete range for white light, fluorescence and chemiluminescence applications.
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.
PTFE spray chamber for ICP-OES
04 April, 2007 | Supplied by: Glass Expansion Pty LtdGlass Expansion has released a range of PTFE spray chambers for ICP-OES. The design is based on the established Tracey glass cyclonic spray chamber which is known for its sensitivity and precision, and fast washout. The pure PTFE (teflon) material reduces the likelihood of contamination. It is also totally inert, enabling the new spray chamber to be used with all common ICP solutions, including those containing HF.
