Quadrupole ICP-MS
16 June, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian has released a sensitive quadrupole ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry) instrument designed to achieve gigahertz sensitivity (1000 million counts per second per ppm of analyte) while delivering improved performance across other criteria. Sensitivity is a key factor in detection limits, and with environmental and other regulations calling for increasingly lower detection limits, ICP-MS is becoming the analysis tool of choice in a number of industries.
Microdialysis probes and accessories
16 June, 2003 | Global Scientific Pty Ltd
Microdialysis monitors the chemistry of individual tissues by mimicking a blood capillary. Using a CMA Microdialysis probe filled with perfusion fluid, chemical substances are transported to and from the tissues through a dialysis membrane attached to a catheter. Depending on the substance, this can reflect either local (eg, glycerol) or systemic (eg, glucose) metabolism.
Real Time Thermal Cycler
16 June, 2003 | Diagnostic Technology Pty Ltd *
The Smart Cycler System from Cepheid is a versatile and efficient thermal cycler with precise real-time optical detection.
Multi-purpose centrifuge
19 May, 2003 | Beckman Coulter Australia
The Allegra X-22 Series benchtop centrifuges are multi-purpose instruments that provide a space-saving solution for smaller laboratories. A diverse line of 11 rotors and 18 adapters provides flexibility for a range of applications.
AA spectrometer
19 May, 2003 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
The Solaar S Series atomic absorption spectrometers offer no compromise, budget-conscious, single atomiser analysis with high levels of multi-element productivity. The footprint of the instrument is less than 0.35 m2. It is simple to use with a comprehensive Windows wizard-driven user interface and an optional quarter VGA local control. An Ebert monochromator-based optical system, with Stockdale double beam optics, provides superior detection capability.
Low bleed capillary columns
19 May, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian has released a family of ultra low bleed capillary columns that detect lower concentrations for more accurate quantification and qualification of trace compounds, boost instrument uptime, and speed instrument stabilisation.
Nichipet Ex pipettor
19 May, 2003 | In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd
The Nichipet Ex pipettor from Nichiryo is fully autoclavable and has enhanced UV resistance. The unit is lightweight and has fatigue-free operation with an enlarged figure rest. The convenient single hand locking lever makes for easy operation and the range of 8 sizes covers from 0.1 µL to 10 mL.
Thermo mechanical analyser
19 May, 2003 | TA Instruments
The Q400 and Q400EM Thermal Mechanical Analyser (TMA) measures sample dimension changes as a function of temperature, time, force (stress) and atmosphere.
Ergonomic laboratory microscopes
19 May, 2003 | Leica Microsystems Pty Ltd
Leica Microsystems has developed accessory modules for its Leica DM LS2 and DM LB2 upright microscopes. Apart from a new finish, the microscopes feature user-friendliness.
Fibre optic temperature measurement
19 May, 2003 | Warsash Scientific Pty Ltd
The Luxtron Fluoroptic Thermometry (FOT) Lab Kit allows users to easily and accurately measure temperature in hostile environments involving high voltages, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and strong radio frequencies (RF).
Glassware washers
19 May, 2003 | Gallay Medical & Scientific Pty Ltd
The Gallay laboratory glassware washer, Lab 999, can be adapted to suit different laboratory glassware cleaning needs. The Lab 999 has 20 standard and 10 optional programs plus a specialised range of stainless steel accessories to process a wide variety of laboratory glassware.
Weather station
19 May, 2003 | Anri Instruments & Controls Pty Ltd
The Helios Mini compact meteorological data logger system from Skye Instruments contains accurate meteorological specification sensors with a data logging system in a compact weatherproof housing, sealed to IP65. The Helios Mini is a 4 channel dedicated logging system, with a choice of sensors: relative humidity, air or soil temperature, a self-emptying rain gauge or a surface wetness (dew) sensor.
Microscope ring illuminators
19 May, 2003 | Fibreoptic Lightguides
Fibreoptic Lightguides' range of microscope ring illuminators has been expanded to include a six spot ringlight.
Lab power supply
21 April, 2003 | Helios Power Solutions
Amtex Electronics has introduced the ZUP series of laboratory power supplies. The series includes standard features such as overvoltage/undervoltage settings, last setting memory with automatic or safe restart options, universal input 85-267 VAC, built-in RS-232 and RS-485 interface and a GPIB programming option.
ICP-MS
21 April, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian's ICP-MS offers ease of use and high sensitivity with its 90° ion optics. The ion mirror reflects analyte ions through 90°, while neutrals and photons pass through. This produces a very high signal to background ratio for low-level detection limits and features tunable gigahertz sensitivity (one thousand million counts per second for every ppm).
