Automatic Focusing
17 July, 2001 | ZEISS Group
Documentation of microscopic examinations in life science, materials analysis and quality inspection must be reliable and objective. The Axiovision module Autofocus is useful when working with digital cameras, as it automatically focuses on the specimen and leads to razor sharp images every time.
Microplate
17 July, 2001 | VWR International Pty Ltd
Whatman has developed the UniPlate 400, a versatile addition to its range of specialist collection plates. It offers a high density 384 deep well format for high volume sample storage combined with heat stability and strength.
Microarray Labelling and Detection Kits
17 July, 2001 | PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
The NEN TSA Microarray Labelling and Detection Kits allow researchers to use as little as 0.5-1.0 µg total RNA starting sample. This is a 100- to 200-fold decrease compared to conventional cDNA labelling protocols, and allows differential gene expression analysis on minute samples such as tissue biopsies. Part of a growing family of Micromax Microarray products, the NEN TSA Labelling and Detection Kits for glass cDNA microarrays are fully QC-tested packages, providing key reagents needed for differential gene expression analysis.
Carbohydrate Membrane Desalter
17 July, 2001 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The Dionex CMD-I Carbohydrate Membrane Desalter is a cation-exchange membrane device that removes sodium ions from the eluent stream after oligosaccharide detection.
DNA Sample Prep Kits
26 June, 2001 | Merck Pty Limited
Montage Genomics Kits provide all necessary reagents and disposable materials needed to clean up DNA preps and provide high quality DNA suitable for sensitive genetic research applications.
PCR Tissue Homogenising Kit
26 June, 2001 | Lomb Scientific (Aust) Pty Ltd
The Omni PCR Tissue Homogenising Kits allow for rapid and complete disruption of cell lysates to expose intracellular contents and increase yields. The PCR tissue homogenising kits offer a choice of autoclavable rotor-stator generator probes in (disposable) plastic and (reusable) stainless steel to suit a wide range of sample preparation applications.
Digital Microscopy
26 June, 2001 | ZEISS Group
Axioplan 2 imaging MOT is claimed to offer the research and routine microscopist a number of new features. This specifically applies to examinations which are mainly performed using fluorescence techniques, eg, the examination of chromosomes and living cells in genetics and cell biology. The microscope's benefits include its high-speed shutter, the motorised double TV tube, improved operation, and optimised motor control.
Precision Balance
26 June, 2001 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The Ohaus Adventurer is a versatile, affordable, high-precision balance that offers laboratory users an economical way to perform a variety of functions.
LA-300 Particle Size Analyser
26 June, 2001 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The Horiba's compact LA-300 laser scattering particle size distribution analyser uses a diode laser and measures particles ranging between 0.1 and 600 µm in diameter. It processes high-resolution data for display within 20 sec.
Cryogenic NMR Probes
26 June, 2001 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian has cryogenic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes for a range of demanding genomics, proteomics and drug discovery and development applications. The probes, cooled using liquid helium, claim a three- to four-fold increase in sensitivity compared to conventional NMR probes. As a result, current experiments can be performed 10-15 times faster, and the scope of compounds that can be analysed is expanded - particularly for those that are available only in minute quantities.
Bioscience Spectrophotometer
21 May, 2001 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced a second UV/Vis spectrophotometer dedicated to bioscience applications. The compact and easy to use BioMini is capable of nucleic acid analysis, protein quantitation, and spectrum measurement. The comprehensive nucleic acid module provides quantitation methods for double and single stranded DNA, RNA and standard Warburg-Christian.
Capillary Columns
21 May, 2001 | Grace Discovery Sciences
Econo-Cap Capillary Columns are claimed to be identical in construction, quality and performance to other premium lines of capillary GC columns.
Lab Reactor
21 May, 2001 | In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd
The Multi-Clave 10X combines simplicity, high-pressure, agitation, small size and high throughput in a laboratory reactor assembly.
Photometer
21 May, 2001 | Merck Pty Ltd
Spectroquant Nova 30/60 Photometers have a diode array design with no moving parts. Barcoded sample vials eliminate the need to select methods and wavelengths manually.
LIMS Implementation
21 May, 2001 | Thermo Electron Corporation
Thermo LabSystems has a full-colour printed case study on the development and implementation of its flagship LIMS product, SampleManager, by its Pathfinder global services group at AstraZeneca's pharmaceutical production sites in Sweden.
