Laboratory Products 67 Save Space and Costs with Robotic Tip Refills


Using automated liquid handling workstations facilitates high throughput sample processing, but can mean that a very large volume of disposable robotic tips are used. Using a tip refill system minimises the environmental and financial impact this has. EcoPac®


, now available from Alpha Laboratories, is a range of robotic tip refills that are fully compatible with the Biomek® and Multimek® Workstations. This system


utilises environmentally friendly refillable racks and refill stacks of 5 x 96 robotic tips, designed to fit Beckman instruments using the AP96 liquid handling head. The sturdy, specially designed refillable racks withstand the extreme forces exerted upon them by automated liquid handling workstations. They are supplied with a full tray of 96 tips and when empty it is quick and easy to reload them using the EcoPac refill stack.


The stacked tip refills save on space in the laboratory and create much less plastic waste than individual racks. Ideal for high usage laboratories, they also offer attractive cost savings compared to ready racked tips.


EcoPac tips give complete peace of mind performance. They are made from 100% virgin polypropylene and are metal-free. They are certified free from DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors. Sterile tips are also tested for the presence of endotoxins. Their compatibility with your robot is assured as EcoPac tips are subjected to rigorous physical testing. Each batch is checked for correct functionality using the original manufacturers’ robots so you are assured of a trouble-free transition when switching to these tips. There is no need to set up new tips in the instrument software. Just select your usual tip volume from the predefined list.


Ecopac tips refills are available with 35% discount until 30th April 2014. 28533pr@reply-direct.com


New Compact Vacuum Controller for existing Vacuum Pumps


The new CVC 3000 detect is a compact two-point vacuum controller for connection to existing vacuum pumps or vacuum networks. With its integrated chemistry vacuum valve, it forms a compact, easy to install and ready to use vacuum control package.


The advanced electronic vacuum control significantly increases the efficiency of the laboratory process, such as for solvent recovery on a rotary evaporator, as well as protecting the environment. The control function ‘detect’ automatically finds the boiling pressure of a solvent, thereby minimising the need for user intervention. There is no need for a laborious manual search of the boiling point, even when working with complex solvent mixtures. Excessive foaming and the resulting loss of sample material can be prevented. The user saves time and can concentrate on more important tasks. A built in program function also enables the setting of individual pressure-time profiles, so that more complex applications can be carried out automatically and with accurate reproducibility. The CVC 3000 detect from Vacuubrand is available as a desktop version, as well as for scaffold mounting.

Think Possible Video Wins Silver Telly Award


BioTek’s Think Possible video, created by Hen House Media, was recently awarded a Silver Telly Award in the ‘Non-Broadcast, Motivational’ category as part of the 35th Annual Telly Awards. Standing out from over 12,000 entries, the Silver Telly is the highest honour bestowed upon film and video productions, and awarded to less than 10% of entries.


The awards are judged by the Silver Telly Council, which consists of over 500 accomplished media and video industry professionals, each a previous award winner. Entries are judged against a high standard of merit, and winners represent the best work among the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators and corporate video departments in the world.


“Our products are making a global difference, from helping to discover new therapies for cancer to diagnosing disease in Africa to understanding environmental impacts in Siberia, and ensuring quality wine production in California,” noted Gary Barush, Director of Sales and Marketing at BioTek Instruments. “Hen House did a tremendous job of demonstrating our passion for impacting the world in a positive way through the Think Possible video.”


“Everything from scripting to filming and editing aligned perfectly on this project, and the result was something we are all very, very proud of,” noted Johnny Mendez, co-owner of Hen House Media. “It’s nice to have our hard work validated by our peers, and we couldn’t have accomplished this without the full support of the entire BioTek team; working with them is a blessing.”
