For many years Fluid Metering’s pumps have been used by federal, state and local agencies for the control of adult mosquitos.
Old technology was called thermal fog which burned diesel fuel mixed with insecticide. This method was expensive and environmentally hazardous.Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) aerosol technology was later developed using compressed air and a very accurate metering pump to introduce the insecticide into the fluid stream. The new method reduced costs as well as environmental impact. FMI’s unique valveless piston pumps have proven ideal for ULV fluid control. Sapphire-hard...
Huber presents new quick couplings for safe separation of the application from the temperature control unit.
Temperature control units are usually connected to the application (e.g. reactor) with insulated hose lines. The separation points are usually equipped with metal-sealing glands. The quick couplings available on the market are usually neither suitable for the temperature range nor for the broad range of temperature control media. High pressure drops often result in a poor performance of the overall system. Another problem is disconnecting the...

Using a patented vacuum-assisted vortex concentration technology, the Smart Evaporator from Asynt sets a new standard for labs tasked with drying sample tubes and vials.
The spiral air flow generated by this unique concentration technology allows the Smart Evaporator to rapidly concentrate even high boiling solvents, such as DMSO, DMF and water without heating to high temperatures. The Spiral Plug concentration technology works by using vacuum to draw air /nitrogen through a spiral slit generating a vortex which both stirs the sample and creates an increased evaporative surface area. This unique technology...

Bibby Scientific announced that Electrothermal, the world’s leading manufacturer of heating mantles, now provides a free “burn-off” process for all new Electromantles® prior to shipping.
This allows lab scientists to use their Electrothermal mantles immediately for safe and reliable heating of chemicals and liquids in vessels of various shapes and sizes. Electrothermal pioneered the UK’s original laboratory heating mantle in 1943 as a dependable and efficient heating alternative to gas burners, oil baths or electric glow coils. Today, Electrothermal’s mantles are hand-sewn and assembled at Bibby Scientific UK. Each mantle also undergoes...
AMSBIO has launched a new range of human exosomes to the regenerative medicine tools and technologies market.
Derived from placental and adipose derived stem cells, to ensure consistent high quality, these new products are ideally suited for research involving wound healing, stem cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. Exosomes are small vesicles (30–150 nm) containing sophisticated RNA and protein cargos. They are secreted by all cell types in culture and are found to occur naturally in body fluids, including blood, saliva, urine, CSF, and breast milk. The precise molecular mechanics for...
Spectronics Corporation’s Slimline™ Series UV transilluminators are equipped with a filter glass that measures just 4.3” x 5.5” (11 x 14 cm), making them ideal for working with mini gels and samples.
The cost effective transilluminators feature a slim profile that utilizes just four 8-watt UV tubes, minimizing UV exposure to the lab technician. An exclusive LONGLIFE™ UV filter glass inhibits solarization up to 50 times longer than traditional UV filters, extending filter life dramatically and providing longer usage. A unique diffusing screen ensures superior light distribution and eliminates confusing light striations caused by the contours of the tubes...
The automated colony counter just got even better!
The industry standard SCAN range of counters have been given a number of new features to make all three models the unit of choice when making the decision to go for automated counting for all your colonies. The level of automatic control has been increased giving the user an ever greater feel of user comfort. Now you can customise as many parameters a you want which eliminates all those complicated batch settings and user input needed by all those other so called ‘automated’ colony counters.
BINDER's range of cooling incubators with thermoelectric cooling is getting a new member that is set to offer outstanding performance: the KT 170.
This cooling incubator, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world and features an interior volume of 170 liters, has the same footprint as the next model down – the KT 115 – but provides 65 percent more usable space and can be used extremely flexibly. Cooling incubators are used for incubating microbiological cultures in many areas of basic research, microbiology, and the food industry. BINDER GmbH, the world's largest specialist in simulation...
Specialist laboratory autoclave manufacturer Priorclave is extending its range of high capacity rectangular chamber sterilisers with the launch of a new 850 litre model.
The first model option in the new RSC 850 series has been purposely designed for applications requiring sterilisation of extra-bulky dense waste. The new autoclave incorporates a water jacket, effectively another pressure vessel surrounding the main sterilising chamber, and within the void steam or cold water is run to heat or cool the outside of the autoclave chamber. When condensate avoidance is required, particularly for porous and textile loads, this facility is available to heat the walls of the vessel to...
SP Scientific has partnered with Bioquell (Andover, UK) to produce an off-the-shelf surface sterilization/decontamination system for SP freeze dryers.
The freeze drying production of many pharmaceuticals and biological materials requires sterile conditions. Traditionally freeze dryers have used steam for sterilization. Unfortunately, working with steam means that the freeze dryers are exposed to many different stresses and strains. SP Scientific, in conjunction with Bioquell, have developed an equally effective and less expensive solution to perform surface sterilization / decontamination of freeze dryers using hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV)...
Merck Millipore, the Life Science business of Merck, today announced three additions to its MAS-100® product family.
The MAS-100 Iso MH® and MAS-100 Iso NT® systems were developed for use in isolators and enable sampling at critical control points. The distinguishing feature of the MAS-100 Iso MH® system is its four sampling heads, which allow for increased monitoring capacity compared to single-head systems. The compact and easy-to-handle design of the MAS-100 VF® air sampler makes it well-suited for use in controlled environments. The MAS-100 Iso NT® system for...

Chromatrap®, a business unit of Porvair Sciences, has introduced a new Formaldehyde Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) ChIP Kit which overcomes the widely acknowledged shortfalls of the technique.
Due to the cross-linking of proteins by formaldehyde, FFPE tissues have traditionally presented a particular challenge for ChIP analysis. In addition, the small size and delicate nature of the tissue, and the difficulty in extracting samples from paraffin, used to provide tissue support after preservation, can damage complex cellular complexes such as chromatin. ChIP assays from these samples until now have therefore proved time consuming and difficult...
