Improved pumping speed with automatic evaporation The integrated vacuum controller, the CVC 3000,
Evaporations under vacuum conditions are very demanding of pump performance and vacuum control. Vacuubrand’s new chemistry pumping unit, the PC
3001 VARIOpro, provides an integrated, user-friendly solution and supersedes its highly regarded, precise and durable predecessor, the PC 3001 VARIO. The new ‘pro’ version features an improved pumping speed of 2m3/h, thus expanding the range of application possibilities. This new and improved version enables even faster
duty cycles with large volumes of vapour and numerous process steps. At the heart of this extremely compact pumping unit is a chemical-resistant diaphragm pump that achieves an ultimate vacuum of 2mbar, and 4mbar even with gas ballast open for continuous condensate purge. This enables even high-boiling solvents to be easily evaporated without condensate building up inside the pump.
maintains optimal control of the motor speed and, thanks to its unique automatic function, enables the pumping unit to perform evaporations automatically, eg, with a rotary evaporator, without the need for programming or supervision. When any vapour pressure change is detected, and the pump reacts immediately, optimising the vacuum without operator intervention. As a result, other important laboratory work can be
carried out at the same time, facilitating greater work flow. The continuously optimised vacuum results in high evaporation rates, reducing process times considerably - typically by more than 30 per cent.

Automation accelerates development
Following the introduction of the first fully automated parallel synthesiser in 1988, Zinsser Analytic has continued to aid to the success of the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fine chemical industries by accelerating the development time required for new products and hence their ultimate introduction into the market place. Using a wealth of experience gained over 40
years by its in house team of hardware and software engineers, continued development has resulted in the implementation of functional and innovative workstations that have been installed in these industry sectors worldwide to facilitate R & D: Several hundred systems have been installed
worldwide and, of those a very high percentage are customised workstations that have been developed

to a specific customer requirement using a modular concept during the overall design. Zinsser Analytic manufactures and supplies four
robotic platforms of different dimensions and x, y, z mechanics onto which modules can be integrated and controlled. There are more than 200 operation modules
available - most of these modules have been designed, engineered and manufactured in house allowing Zinsser Analytic to respond and react quickly to any customer’s needs.

HPV qualification panel streamlines assay qualification
SeraCare Life Sciences has launched the HPV Genotype Qualification Panel. This new panel expands the SeraCare Women’s Health portfolio in response to the rapidly rising demand for products designed to meet the requirements for human papillomavirus (HPV) assay qualification. “Increased awareness of the risks of HPV has
generated a corresponding increase in the need for highly accurate HPV testing methods and products,” said Chris Long, associate product manager at SeraCare Life Sciences. “The new SeraCare HPV Qualification Panel provides multiple vials of high-risk HPV Genotypes for the replicate tests typically performed during qualification testing.” The SeraCare HPV Qualification Panel is derived
from cultured human cells containing full-length HPV DNA and includes the HPV 16 and HPV 18 genomes, which together account for an estimated 70 per cent of all cases of the virus. The panel is designed to support assay qualification and testing by challenging every step in the process, from extraction through detection. The SeraCare HPV Qualification Panel is designed for
use with HPV test kits from Roche Molecular Diagnostics, Qiagen/digene and Hologic. In addition to supporting the vital process of assay verification, the panel can be used for method comparison, reproducibility and lot-to- lot variability studies.
