Flu A & B Differential Test
18 February, 2002 | BD
BD Directigen Flu A+B is a rapid in vitro assay for the direct and qualitative detection of influenza A and B viral antigens. A feature of this assay is the ability of Directigen Flu A+B to distinguish influenza A viral antigens from those of influenza B. During the testing procedure respiratory specimens are applied to two wells of ColorPAC test device, producing results in less than fifteen minutes.
NDT Qualifications
18 February, 2002 | NATA
NATA, the national laboratory accreditation agency, now requires formal qualifications for all non-destructive testing (NDT) operators.
Pathology Stains
18 February, 2002 | Pathtech Pty Ltd
Australian Biostain specialises in the manufacture of preformulated stains solutions and fixatives for the pathology industry.
Laboratory Ergonomics
28 January, 2002 | Pathtech Pty Ltd
Stress related injuries are becoming of great concern to employees and companies alike. The manner in which a person uses a pipette can overextend muscles through repetitive actions, hence repetitive strain injury (RSI).
Balance Range
28 January, 2002 | Sartorius Australia Pty Ltd
The Satorius Competence (CP) series of laboratory balances comprises 23 models: from a semimicro-balance with readability of 0.01 mg to a high-capacity balance with a capacity of 34 kg. The wide range of analytical and precision balances in this series offers a solution for every type of weighing task performed in the laboratory.
Dissolution Tester
17 December, 2001 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
The VanKel (VK) 7020 is part of the V-Series line of dissolution testers that offers higher levels of efficiency and automation. The VK 7020 can be easily integrated with other Varian instrumentation.
Disposable Cuvette
17 December, 2001 | Eppendorf South Pacific Pty Ltd
The UVette is a plastic disposable cuvette for volumes down to 220 nm. Measuring without first having to rinse the cuvette is now possible with the UVette. The UVette has its own individual packaging. In addition, it is free of DNA, RNase and protein, which is the basis for reliable results. A mere 50 µL is required for measurement, and filling can be monitored through the crystal-clear material of the UVette. The surface properties and tapering design prevent a capillary effect and ensure that the measuring solution remains in the measuring window.
Digital Network Camera
17 December, 2001 | Coherent Scientific Pty Ltd
A digital camera with networking capability has joined Nikon's Digital Eclipse series. The DN100 enables the viewing of images by multiple users at distant locations over a network, while the images are being captured elsewhere. It is not necessary to store images before sending them to the other distant locations, as the images are viewed simultaneously and in real-time.
96-Well Plates with Binding Membranes
17 December, 2001 | Pall (Australia) Pty Ltd
The AcroWell 96 Filter Plate with GHP Membrane is available in a chemically resistant natural polypropylene housing and is also available in opaque-white polypropylene housing for high throughput cell and bead-based radioactive and chemiluminescent assays. The GHP membrane (hydrophilic polypropylene) is the key to the plate's low background fluorescence.
Isotope Ratio MS
17 December, 2001 | Micromass
The IsoPrime Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (SIRMS) platform is equipped with the PyrOH inlet that is capable of analysing solid and liquid samples. It opens up new possibilities for aqueous D/H ratio investigations where sample size is limited. This advance is made possible with ChromeHD technology, incorporating the MaxChrome reactor.
Water Recirculators
17 December, 2001 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
The TC line of water recirculators from Thermo Haake has a modern design and an extended specification range.
Viscometer
17 December, 2001 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The Minivis II from Grabner features a ball detection principle with reflection sensors which extends its application to both clear and dark samples. The viscosity range is expanded from 0.2 to 1500 mPas/cSt across a temperature range of 0-100°C.
Stereomicroscope
18 November, 2001 | Leica Microsystems Pty Ltd
The StereoZoom line is a comprehensive range of stereomicroscopes that is as suited to testing, assembly, OEM and school applications as it is to research, development and documentation requirements.
Portable Refractometers and Density Meters
18 November, 2001 | Mettler-Toledo Ltd
The Densito 30P density meters and the Refracto 30P refractometers will achieve almost the same level of efficiency and comfort as a benchtop, but are designed for one-hand operation. In addition to displaying plain measured values, both the Densito 30P and the Refracto 30P automatically compensate temperature and can directly calculate the concentration of a sample in common units, such as percent alcohol or Brix. A correction feature allows the instrument to easily switch calculations when different samples are measured. The instruments can also be customised so that the user can define specific calculation formulas.
DNA Purification System
18 November, 2001 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
TOP (Trityl-on Oligonucleotide Purification), is a simple and high-throughput purification solution which combines a 96-well plate, a streamlined protocol, and a proprietary resin that will deliver optimum yield and purity for oligos up to 200 nmole in scale and up to 50 mers in length.
