Rapid particle size reduction for qualitative & quantitative analysis
The McCrone Micronising mill is widely acknowledged to be one of the most effective means of reducing sample to sub-micron sizes suitable for X-Ray diffraction; X-Ray Fluorescence; Infra-Red Spectroscopy and Atomic Absorption Analysis. What makes it so effective is the unique grinding action of the cylinders producing both linear contact blows and planar shearing. The result is a short grinding time with virtually no sample loss, as well as exceptionally even particle size distribution. There is virtually no chemical degradation of the particles and a significant reduction in the crystal lattice disturbance...

Greiner Bio-One, a technology partner for the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industry, has developed 96 well microplates with a 3D epoxy surface in collaboration with its longstanding cooperation partner PolyAn. The 3D epoxy surface is the ideal platform for covalent binding of proteins, peptides, DNA and oligonucleotides.
The three-dimensional functional matrix allows the development of covalent binding of nucleophiles to the plate surface without complex coupling chemistry. The structure of the matrix, which has a thickness of up to 50 nm, also reduces unspecific binding to a minimum. The three-dimensional epoxy 96 well microplates are used mainly if adsorptive binding of peptides or oligonucleotides, for example, to high/medium binding surfaces is ineffective or the binding strength is not sufficient....
