Recent revisions of two popular e-books from Freeman Technology offer clear, expert advice for those looking to invest in powder testing technology. ‘Choosing a Powder Tester’ reviews the technology available and has been updated to include recent innovations such as uniaxial powder testing. ‘The Value of Powder Testing’ considers how test data deliver an economic return and now extends to assessment of the benefits of real-time measurement...

Titan Enterprises reports that the rugged, clean bore construction of its Atrato ultrasonic flowmeter range makes them ideal for a wide range of low flow laboratory applications and very easy to clean between experiments. Available in 60°C and 110°C temperature versions and a 30 bar higher pressure model, the flowmeters use patented ‘time-of-flight’ ultrasonic technology that enable them to operate with...

Breakthrough technology cuts screening time by 10 times compared to circular dichroism (CD) devices with auto samplers and is at least 100 times faster than standard HPLC processes. Bio-Logic (France) and Hinds Instruments (United States) are pleased to announce the launch of the EKKO®, the world’s first high throughput CD microplate reader. EKKO® demonstrates significant potential for the pharmaceutical industry and any organization working in the field of asymmetric synthesis, catalysis and organic/medicinal chemistry....

Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc. announces its new line of multi-position analog stirring hot plates and stirrers featuring 5 or 9 stirring positions. The large 12” (305 mm) square ceramic heater tops have a temperature range to 450°C. The 5-position stirring units can stir 5-800ml beakers, and the 9-position units can stir 9-500ml beakers of aqueous solutions from 100 to 1500 rpm. Each stirring position is individually controlled so different vessels can be stirred at different speeds at the same time on one plate surface....

The new Bubble Pressure Tensiometer - BPT Mobile is an instrument for determining the surfactant content by investigating the dynamic surface tension (SFT) of a solution. This mobile solution works independently from a computer and providing results within a few seconds, which is a particularly essential feature for quality control applications. Whether an industrial bath obtains the required cleaning or wetting effect is dependent on the concentration of free surfactants, which decreases over time....

Testa Analytical Solutions e.K. has introduced a Surface Zeta Potential option for its NanoBrook range of zeta potential analysers. Adding the new surface zeta potential option to a Nanobrook analyser allows you to measure the electrical charge on materials like coated glass, plastic, tape, or other flexible surfaces. The system uses known probe particles and purpose-designed electrode to calculate surface zeta potential. Leveraging proprietary phase analysis light scattering (PALS) technology...

Empirical Bioscience announce that they have introduced the EB Pure Total RNA Kit and the EB Pure DNase 1 Digestion Kit for the fast and reliable purification of RNA from cells or soft tissue. The High-Bind configuration of the EB Pure Total RNA Kit specifically, but reversibly, binds RNA under optimized conditions allowing proteins and other contaminants to be removed. It also allows for the binding of RNA in high-salt and elution in a low-salt buffer, and each column can bind up to 100 µg of RNA...

Porvair Sciences new UltraVap Mistral XT 100 allows for the first time, full automated dry down of organic solvent-based samples in tubes up to 100mm in length. The UltraVap Mistral XT 100 is Porvair Sciences latest fully robot compatible nitrogen blow-down evaporator, suitable for integration adjacent to most leading laboratory liquid handling robots. Designed with the demands of linear robots very much in mind, the UltraVap Mistral XT 100...

The ECM 630 Exponential Decay Wave Electroporator is a versatile system ideal for high efficiency transformation of bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms with DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules. BTX has updated and improved this product by adding an easy to use color touchscreen interface, enhanced safety features, pre-set experimental protocols to electroporate the most commonly used cell types, ability to create, edit...

AMSBIO has added an important new product to its immunotherapy range - a PD-L2 / TCR activator - CHO Recombinant Cell Line. PD-L2 is one of the key players in immune checkpoint therapy, which is the focus of the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physiology & Medicine . This work pioneered by Professor James P Allison from the USA and Professor Tasuku Honjo from Japan, has led to treatments for cancers, such as melanoma, lung cancer and others based upon immune checkpoint therapy...

“Today's cell culture requires more than technical solutions for optimized growth conditions and efficient contamination prevention.” says Eppendor's Business Manager for cell culture products Dr. Patrik Ferreira. “For several years, customers involved in Eppendorf´s development process have reported an increasing demand for devices that provide flexibility, support with increasing documentation demands and use natural resources sustainably....

6-Channel Head Automates Capping and Decapping to Reduce Hands-On Time and Hassles. Hamilton Storage announces the availability of a 6-channel head to cap and decap large format tubes such as the Nunc™ Low Profile 5.0 mL Externally-Threaded Universal Tubes. Many researchers prefer the large format tube geometry as it enables storage of solid and liquid samples up to several milliliters, with easy access using forceps or standard-length pipette tips....
