Filter Wheel Deck
March 26, 2013 11:57 am | Prior Scientific | CommentsPrior Scientific introduced the HF108IX3 Filter Wheel deck designed for the Olympus IX3 inverted microscope systems. Cassette like insertion into the side deck of the Olympus IX3 eases installation.
Accurate Mass Qq-TOF LC-MSMS Mass Spectrometer
March 26, 2013 11:50 am | CommentsBruker announced new accessibility for its high resolution, accurate mass technology. The COMPACT LC-QqTOF mass spectrometer achieves sensitivity levels normally associated with high-end triple-quadrupole instruments while delivering research grade, high-resolution full scan data at high UHPLC speeds.
Microarray for Research into Haematological and Solid Cancers
March 25, 2013 1:53 pm | CommentsOxford Gene Technology (OGT) released a new microarray designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of cancer research. The CytoSure Cancer +SNP array (4x180k) combines long oligo array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) probes with fully validated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) content.
Benchtop Freeze Dryer
March 25, 2013 1:39 pm | CommentsThe VirTis BenchTop Pro freeze dryer range from SP Scientific features condenser refrigeration packages of -55°C, -75°C, -85°C and -105°C that allow users to meet the demands of both aqueous or aqueous solvent based formulations.
Laser Scanning Microscope
March 25, 2013 12:01 pm | CommentsThe LSM 700 Laser Scanning Microscope from Carl Zeiss features high flexibility in application and system structure. The fields of application extend from simple routine to multidimensional images in biomedical research.
Sample Solutions Enable Verification of DMSO Microplate Dispensing
March 22, 2013 2:04 pm | CommentsArtel offers the DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) reagent solution for use with the company’s MVS Multichannel Verification System. The solution enables users to accurately calibrate and verify DMSO dispenses. DMSO is widely used for storing and transferring small-molecule compounds during high-throughput screening campaigns.
Video Tracking System
March 22, 2013 1:52 pm | CommentsCoulbourn Instruments launched the SMART 3.0 Advanced Video Tracking System for researchers. Applications include standard tracking and spontaneous activity (distance, speed, time, entries in zones, mobility, low/high activity etc.).
Biological Tissue Spectrometer
March 22, 2013 12:15 pm | CommentsZenalux Biomedical offers the Zenascope PC1, a biological tissue spectrometer that non-destructively measures biological tissue characteristics (biomarkers) that reflect underlying function and composition. The device is being used to detect the presence of cancer as well as other disease states and has also shown promise in monitoring therapy.
System Designed for Safe Vacuum Aspiration of Liquids
March 19, 2013 3:14 pm | CommentsThe VACUSAFE Laboratory Aspiration System from INTEGRA is designed to provide simple, reliable and safe aspiration of hazardous waste liquids in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories.
