Torrey Pines Scientific announces its NEW EchoTherm™ Programmable Corrosion Resistant Digital Stirring Hot Plates for use with aggressive chemicals in environments where other stirring hot plates would be quickly destroyed by vapors or spills.
The EchoTherm™ Model HS70 Programmable Stirring Hot Plates are designed to be purged using an inert gas through a fitting on the rear of the chassis. Purging provides a positive pressure inside the unit to prevent corrosive gasses from entering the chassis and attacking the electronics or stirring mechanism....
Size really does matter when laboratories specify preclinical MRI imaging technology – in fact space is at such a premium that insufficient floor area often precludes purchase.
The high field Flexiscan and Powerscan cryogen-free systems from MR Solutions have a compact design and are simply wheeled in and connected to the mains and other services whilst providing state of the art imaging. And - to please the finance team - the capital and running costs of this system are substantially less than a larger, wet magnet system....

Postnova Analytics reports on how the inorganic analysis team within LGC (Teddington, UK) has been using the AF2000 Field Flow Fractionation system coupled to Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to characterise nanomaterials in complex sample matrices for clinical, cosmetic and food use.
Nanomaterials are known to be present in over 1300 commercial products. As a result of the European Union (EU) recently providing a precise definition of a nanomaterial for regulatory purposes, it has become important to be able to characterise nanomaterials reliably to understand their behaviour in contact with humans and the environment....
Benefiting from a state-of-the-art -75°C condenser - the Series 3 HT Evaporator from Genevac sets a new benchmark for enhanced evaporation and lyophilisation results.
Drying HPLC purification fractions, such as water and acetonitrile, is a routine yet essential task in many pharmaceutical laboratories. Typically labs require HPLC fractions to be dried to a powder form, such that samples can be accurately weighed, easily sub-sampled and re-dissolved. To provide a rapid, high-throughput alternative to freeze drying of such samples...
