ADVERTISEMENT PIPETMAX®—Taking PIPETMAN® to the MAX
Manual sample preparation can be inefficient, complex, and time consuming. This leads to increased training require- ments, preparation time, procedural errors, and operational costs. The Gilson PIPETMAX® is an easy-to-use, automated liquid handling
platform that can mitigate these problems with automated sample preparation solutions. Unlike traditional automation platforms, PIPETMAX comes at a size and price that is accessible to any lab.

The MY-PCR Prep workstation from Mystaire™ Misonix provides the molecular biology laboratory technician with a “personal cleanroom” for use in the amplification of DNA and RNA. Between amplifications, the workstation can be irritated with
shortwave UV energy to denature potential contaminants and eliminate their ability to be amplified. The Class 100 vertical laminar flow workstation has a timed UV light, making it an effective benchtop personal clean zone for completing PCR and RNA amplifications.

The Spectroline® compact, lightweight CM-10MP mini viewing cabinet from Spectronics Corp. is well suited for laboratory applications requiring high-contrast fluorescence analysis, and for viewing TLC plates and quality control inspection of PC boards.
Weighing only 4 lb (1.8 kg), the cabinet can be conveniently carried from place to place. The unit is made of molded, high- impact plastic for durability. It features a contoured eyepiece with a built-in UV-absorbing window for safe viewing.

Two reagent kits for intracellular staining offered by Beckman Coulter Life Sciences—PerFix- Expose (for research use only) and PerFix-nc (pending clearance by FDA)—minimize sample manipulation for a streamlined work flow that
delivers high-quality results. PerFix-Expose (phospho- epitope exposure kit) helps scientists identify and explore complex intracellular signaling pathways disrupted by cancer and other diseases. With PerFix-nc (no centrifugation), researchers can perform concomitant surface and intracellular staining for flow cytometry to take advantage of a new approach that provides easy access to the inside of human leukocytes.
www.beckmancoulter.com Brochure on Measuring Zeta Potential
A brochure from Anton Paar on the zeta potential measurements of biomaterials outlines the SurPASS method, which directly analyzes the solid/water interface by means of zeta potential, an indicator for solid surface charge. The brochure, “Surface Characterization of Biomaterials,” contains information on the interaction of biological compounds with the biomaterial surfaces, including the isoelectric point, describing surface chemistry and electrostatic interactions and time-resolved adsorption studies. It is available for download at
www.anton-paar.com/surface-analysis.
www.anton-paar.com FLEXIVAP™ WORK STATION
Glas-Col has developed a new cost-effective line of analytical nitrogen/ air evaporators for use with research that requires processing large numbers of samples for solvent reduction and analysis. One manifold suits all standard size vials with easy closure of any manifold position resulting in reduced nitrogen consumption and complete even flow rates in all ports. Open/close
each position by turning the knobs on the manifold, which is mounted on a rack and pinion stand.
