Markes International (Llantrisant) has announced the release of a set of six videos explaining the key features of its TOF-DS™ software package.
TOF-DS is an intuitive software platform for control and data-processing of Markes’ BenchTOF™ time-of-flight mass spectrometers coupled with coupled with a range of popular gas chromatographs (GCs) and autosamplers. The software has been developed to optimise GC–MS productivity and complement the power and flexibility of BenchTOF instruments. The new videos, available free-to-view, each summarise in just a few minutes a key aspect of TOF-DS, which comes as standard with the BenchTOF-HD™ and BenchTOF-Select™ models.

A new YouTube video published by Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) specialist, Autoscribe, provides a practical demonstration of the ease of configuration of the Matrix Gemini LIMS.
Since each individual laboratory is a little different from its nearest equivalent and often vastly different from laboratories in different industries, Matrix Gemini’s unique OneTime™configuration tools provide the flexibility to ensure that customers are not forced into a particular system design. These versatile configuration tools offer a ‘drag and drop’ approach to build a personalised user interface with no impact on the underlying core...
INTEGRA has published a new customer video from the Institute of Clinical Chemistry research group at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), in which researcher Christina Thomas reviews how the VOYAGER multichannel pipette has accelerated their sample screening and genotyping assays.
As laboratories need to process more and more samples per day, they are facing the challenge to increase their throughput in the most efficient and economical way. Especially screening applications require handling and manipulating many samples between different formats. Traditionally this process often involved the use of single channel pipettes which is slow, inefficient and prone to errors. Using INTEGRA’s VOYAGER handheld pipette, with...

INTEGRA has created a short, simple and engaging ‘SimpleShow’ format video to explain the safety features of their FIREBOY Safety Bunsen Burner.
The video features animated lab hero Mason in his romantic quest to win the heart of his adorable assistant Mary. Watching this simple, concise and funny video you will learn about how the FIREBOY Safety Bunsen Burner ensures high safety by eliminating the risk of gas leaking and explosion inherent in using alcohol burners, gas cookers and traditional Bunsen burners. With the FIREBOY Safety Bunsen Burner, gas ignition is both immediate...
The Pipetting Cycle is part of a series of tutorial videos; this first tutorial demonstrates the five distinct steps of pipetting and how to do them correctly. These have been created as part of Anachem's Good Pipetting Practice Programme (GPP).
The majority of scientists will agree that pipetting is normally the most frequently practiced activity in the lab. The accuracy and precision of pipettes is vital for producing good quality results. However it is not just the pipette that needs to be considered when evaluating the accuracy of experimental data. There are a number of factors that can influence the accuracy, quality and reproducibility of the generated data, including pipetting skill, pipette maintenance and calibration....
Ideal for size reduction of soft to medium-hard, tough-elastic and fibrous materials as well as for heterogeneous mixtures. They are indispensable in the areas of environment, plastics, agriculture, forestry, construction materials, textiles, chemistry and foodstuffs as well as for analytic and sample preparation for RoHS-analyses, like for example mobile phone LCD glass, mobile phone keypads, electronic chips, circuit boards....

RAININ's New LR Low Retention Pipette Tips Can Help
Now available from Anachem the new LR Low Retention pipette tips improve pipetting accuracy by minimising residual volume. These tips prevent samples from interacting with the polypropylene surface of the tip, making them especially useful when transferring complex sample liquids, viscous liquids and those with reduced surface tension due to the presence of detergents and other organic constituents....
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2014 to Eric Betzig, Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stefan W. Hell, Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and German Cancer Research Center and William E. Moerner, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
