Multi-well pipettor reservoir
04 April, 2007 | Interpath Services Pty Ltd
Texan reservoirs are re-usable and are an environmentally sound alternative to traditional disposable reservoirs. Their extra large capacity means fewer refills, aiding productivity. The V-shaped basin is compatible with both eight- and 12-place pipettors with minimal reagent waste. The reservoirs are clear, chemical-resistant, autoclavable polypropylene. Moulded graduation marks provide volume indication at 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 mL.
Personal protection equipment
04 April, 2007 | Brady Australia Pty Ltd
OHS regulations state that the employer must provide each person at risk with personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure that the person is given the necessary instruction and training. Seton Australia has just added many new products to its PPE range. Some of the products in this category include the latest safety glasses to protect eyes against impact and the sun, hard hats to prevent harmful head injuries, sun hats to protect from UV rays, ear protection against noise levels, gloves to protect hands and respiratory protection against potentially dangerous particles or gases.
Clostridium in faeces
04 April, 2007 | Ngaio Diagnostics
The BioStar OIA CdTOX AB assay is an immunoassay test for the rapid qualitative detection of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and/or B in human faecal samples from patients suspected of having CDAD. Toxin A is an enterotoxin which appears to be responsible for the clinical symptoms of diarrhoea and colonic inflammation, while Toxin B is responsible for the associated cell destruction. Clinical symptoms of CDAD were once thought to be solely due to Toxin A; however, there is growing evidence that Toxin B may also play an important role in the pathogenesis of C. difficile. In many markets it is mandatory to use a test that detects both toxins, therefore a test which detects both toxins would be an aid to prompt diagnosis and allow the physician to initiate appropriate patient management.
Compact, linear-output vacuum gauge
04 April, 2007 | AVT Services Pty Limited
The latest addition to the BOC Edwards range of Pirani vacuum gauges is the APG100 Series, designed for measurement of vacuum down to 10-4 mbar. The new gauge is lead free, RoHS compliant and carries Canadian Safety Association approval. It is available in standard and corrosion-resistant versions.

Lumitein Protein Gel Stain is a luminescent dye designed for detecting proteins in polyacrylamide gels with the following features:
PTFE spray chamber for ICP-OES
04 April, 2007 | Glass Expansion Pty Ltd
Glass 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.
Pesticide analysis
04 April, 2007 | Phenomenex Australia
The Zebron MultiResidue columns represent a solution for all classes of pesticides analysis. The columns were developed using two new stationary phases and each phase has been optimised to resolve a different set of analytes. However, both are good for a wide variety of pesticides.
