Stuart also offer an automatic model which utilizes digital imaging technology to automatically detect an accurate melting point. The result video can then be viewed on the in-built screen either during the measurement or afterwards.

The Priorclave Q63, 320 litre front loading capacity autoclave has given laboratories a real opportunity to consider this more economically priced cylindrical chamber design rather than investing in a large rectangular chamber steam steriliser.  Users of the Q63 autoclave may also benefit from lower overall running costs associated with reduced power and water usage.

Since chamber size has a major influence on autoclave selection, Priorclave designed the cylindrical chamber of the Q63 with a taller profile than that found in most ‘cylindrical’ machines, giving these autoclaves an impressive load capacity ideally suited to sterilising larger bulky items as well as enabling small and taller items could be sterilised in a single process....

METTLER TOLEDO has launched the Rainin TerraRack line of pipette tip racks, an innovative solution to minimising the problem of plastic tip rack waste.

TerraRacks are 50% lighter than conventional tip racks, highly compressible when empty and completely recyclable. TerraRacks are composed largely of PETE (polyethylene terephthalate), an exceptionally strong polyester that is easy to recycle and in high demand as a post-waste commodity. The TerraRack shell, with its hinged lid and front latch, is moulded as a single PETE unit, making it exceptionally lightweight. A polypropylene tip deck snaps into the shell, adding structural support with minimal weight....

As the pace of innovation increases, many companies are switching from the traditional process of ‘one-at-a-time’ analogue synthesis, which is time consuming and highly labour intensive, to more efficient methods. 

This was the case in the small, space-limited R&D laboratory at the School of Pharmaceutical Science, Sun Yat-Sen University where they wanted to improve the productivity of experiments, consistency and safety. Using their existing setup of a simple water condenser, heated magnetic stirrer and glass flask for drug synthesis / combination reactions they experienced long reaction times and with limited space, project progress was always slow. After testing...

Laboratories with multiple users or multiple experiments can benefit from Bel-Art Modular Ultra Low 5 Box Freezer Racks which can be arranged to suit individual needs, yet fit existing freezers and accomodate standard 5 x 5 x 2" freezer boxes.

Typical racks for laboratory freezers are generally expensive, heavy and come in preconfigured heights and depths often taking up unnecessary room in already crowded freezers. Bel-Art – SP Scienceware^® Modular Ultra Low 5 Box Freezer Racks offer a customizable storage solution that can be easily integrated with existing freezer storage boxes and freezers.

Liverpool Chirochem (LCC), a supplier of specialist chemical building blocks within pharmaceutical research and development (R&D), is pleased to announce that it has begun to manufacture its own proprietary chiral building blocks using a unique patented process.

Benefitting from significantly fewer production steps, the process reduces production times by 75% and lowers production costs by 92.5%, for R&D areas within laboratories, universities and research centres. In order to produce new drugs, medicinal chemists require a continual supply of new chiral building blocks; these building blocks are of high importance and financial value to pharmaceutical R&D, which is reflected in their market size...

DiATOME have partnered with EM Resolutions, a Saffron Walden-based consumables and accessories supplier for electron microscopy, to supply their range of high quality diamond knives in the UK. 

Whilst diamond knives are best known for producing high quality sections on an ultramicrotome, their use for surface preparation is less accepted. DiATOME diamond knives are used for the preparation of high quality surfaces for AFM and other imaging techniques requiring smooth surfaces. DiATOME ultra AFM knives are made from higher quality diamonds to produce extremely smooth sample surfaces and ensure the best possible...

Just a Single One - With contrAA®

This problem is familiar to every AAS user: For each element, an individual hollow-cathode lamp is needed. Multi-element analyses take an enormous amount of time and work. Flexibility, too, is significantly restricted — new elements require new lamps. With the High-Resolution Continuum Source (HR-CS) AAS technology used in the contrAA ^® range from Analytik Jena, these disadvantages of conventional AAS have become a thing of the past:

The white paper “Adopting Next Generation Labeling Technology Enhances Enterprise Agility and Reduces Costs” published by NiceLabel identifies the hidden costs, inefficiencies and risks resulting from legacy labeling operations and explains why a modern label management platform is well suited to current enterprise and extended supply chain needs.

In today’s networked economy, organizations are challenged with volatile market requirements, massive connectivity driven by the "Internet of Things", and increased product, process, and supply chain complexity. Enterprises are continually looking deeper into their operations and farther across their supply chains for opportunities to become more efficient. Labeling is frequently considered a background process that does not get...
