6 ANALYTICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT
these sectors, productivity and compliance must be in constant balance, even as requirements shift. Enhanced traceability features in SampleManager 11, including the ability to track aliquots and composites, enable finer control over samples and more reliable data for decision- making and compliance.
More than LIMS ACD/Labs has announced the commercial availability of ACD/ ChemAnalytical Workbook. Tis new software application on the
ACD/Spectrus platform provides an all-in-one experiment, workflow, and data management tool for scientists who use multiple analytical techniques in a problem-solving capacity in industries including coatings, lubricants, fragrances, forensics, petrochemicals, food, and formulated healthcare products.
“ChemAnalytical Workbook was developed as a direct response to customers unable to find what they needed in existing informatics systems such as
LIMS and ELNs (enterprise laboratory networks),” noted Michael Boruta, industry solutions manager with ACD/ Labs. “Scientists use analytical data to make key decisions about problems in a plant, in the identification of ingredients, deformulation, and much more. ChemAnalytical Workbook links analytical chemistry information with the sample or experiment so that it can be reviewed and re- interrogated to help get answers quickly. Ultimately, faster decision-making will improve
Flexible, automated liquid handling C
yBio’s new CyBi-FeliX is a versatile and compact liquid handling platform for single to multichannel pipetting on a footprint of 650 x
450 mm. The novel deck design offers 12 positions for microplates, tube racks, reservoirs and tips. Furthermore there is a wide selection of optional accessories available, such as tip wash station and microplate heating and cooling. For reliable precision in every volume range
users can choose between the interchangeable 96-384-channel pipetting heads and the CHOICE

pipetting head with its novel volume range of 500 nl to 1 ml. Along with the parallel processing of whole 96- and 384-well microplates, the CyBi-FeliX also allows users to work in single wells, rows and columns without the need of manual intervention. CyBio says its latest platform is based on 25 years of liquid handling experience in supporting applications such as filling of plates and tubes, creating reaction set-ups for PCR and sequencing, ELISA, hit picking or pooling of samples and serial dilutions. The platform can be adjusted at any time to any
application requirements through the right combination of pipetting heads and accessories. This, says the company, makes the CyBi-FeliX the ideal platform for a variety of automated liquid handling tasks suitable for every laboratory. CyBio also has a new 1536-channel pipetting
head for the reliable, simultaneous pipetting platform CyBi-Well. The 1536 air displacement pistons work with CyBio‘s novel and well-proven tip sealing technology and allow the simultaneous transfer and filling of all wells of a 1536-well plate in one single step.
productivity and profitability for our customers.”
One company that has already benefitted from the technology is Seven Scent, a manufacturer and supplier of customised fragrances.
“Since implementing the ACD/ Labs solution we have realised a time savings of over 30 per cent in the manufacturing process,” says Alistair Wilding, head of technical services. “Te system is tied to our production schedule
