New Products Moisture Analyzers
The latest models of Professional moisture analyzers from Mettler-Toledo feature USB, Ethernet, and WLAN connectivity for easy data transfer, and now can send measurement reports in A4 or letter format direct to a networked page
printer. In addition to the outstanding connectivity, the built- in instrument tests are easy to perform and ensure accurate results. With a five-click guided procedure, the performance of all the instruments together can be qualified due to the certified reference substance SmartCal™.

JEOL and Nikon have integrated optical microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy in a way that enables seamless observation of the same region of interest on a sample with fast, accurate navigation. The technique, MiXcroscopy, employs the same specimen holder for both the optical microscope (OM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The specimen stage registration is fully controlled by dedicated software that allows the OM and SEM to share, recall, and observe exact locations of specific areas on the specimens.

BioTek congratulates Dr. Jeff Peterson of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Pennsylvania for winning a new Cytation™ 3 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader in BioTek’s “Think Possible” Application Contest. Entrants were judged on a short essay they submitted detailing the application they think is possible for their specific research using the Cytation 3. As Dr. Peterson noted in his essay, patent pending Cytation 3 provides both quantitative and phenotypic cellular analyses by combining automated digital fluorescence microscopy and conventional microplate detection in a single platform.
