New Products Cutting Mill and Sample Exhaust System
The PULVERISETTE 19 Universal Cutting Mill and Cyclone sample exhauster from FRITSCH (Idar-Oberstein, Germany/ Pittsboro, NC) provide a commercial solution for milling of cannabis flowers and leaves. Allowing for reproducible, controllable particle size output, the system provides unparalleled processing control for optimization of chemical extractions, or for prerolled products. With
average throughput during continuous milling of over 1 lb per minute, the labor savings compared to batch processing with kitchen blenders can be significant. The uniquely engineered cutting rotor, along with the Cyclone exhauster, help ensure that plant materials are cut very quickly and do not reside in the cutting chamber for more than a fraction of a second, eliminating any potential chemical changes due to heat accumulation.
Chemical-Resistant Fume Hoods
UniFlow SE AireStream fume hoods from HEMCO (Independence, MO) are constructed entirely of chemical- resistant, flame-retardant, nonmetallic composite resin materials and feature exclusive “Unitized” construction that does not require screws, bolts, rivets, or metallic hardware for assembly. The fume chamber is molded one-piece
seamless with all corners coved for easy cleaning and light reflectivity. This series of fume hoods is UL 1805 certified and is offered in 48”, 60”, 72”, and 96” widths in either constant air volume or restricted bypass models.
CO2 Incubator With Dry Heat
Decontamination Cycle Panasonic Healthcare Corporation of North America (Wood Dale, IL) offers a CO2
incubator with an elevated 180 °C
(355 °F) dry heat sterilization cycle. The 5.8-cu. ft. automatic model MCO- 170AICUVDL-PA is designed for medical research, pharmaceutical, and biotech applications. The heater design and specialized insulation ensure an energy-efficient dry heat sterilization
with minimal rise in exterior surface temperature in sterilization mode. This is ideal in a stacked incubator, as the adjacent unit can continue normal operation without interruption to the other. Advanced insulation contains no fiber or powder diffusion.
AMERICAN LABORATORY 50 Bathless Dissolution Tester
Distek, Inc. (North Brunswick, NJ) offers the Model 2500 Select bathless dissolution tester. Its patented bathless technology eliminates the water bath and all associated maintenance, while heater jackets raise media temperature from ambient to 37 °C in less than 15 minutes. Wireless in-shaft temperature sensors continuously monitor and display the in-vessel temperature for each vessel. Features include a brilliant touchscreen
and instrument command with electronic tracking of serialized stirring elements, qualification status and due dates, and extensive reporting and method storage capabilities.
JUNE/JULY 2017 Larger-Size Humidity Test Chamber
BINDER’s (Bohemia, NY) new larger-size humidity test chamber (KBF Series), the KBF 1020, has 36 cu. ft. of interior volume. The stainless steel inner chamber is corrosion-free and specially designed to store large test samples efficiently. This offers significant long-term storage advantages as well as time and cost savings for shelf-life and stability testing,
especially in the pharmaceutical industry. The humidity test chamber ensures climatic condition uniformity and maximum unit reliability during continuous operation.
APT.line preheating chamber technology guarantees temperature accuracy—even under full load—as well as outstanding temperature variation and protection against condensation with a temperature range of 0–70 °C and humidity range of 0–80%.
Microscope With Plasma Focused Ion Beam Technology
FEI Helios G4 DualBeam Series (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hillsboro, OR) microscopes are now available with plasma focused ion beam (PFIB) technology for advanced materials research. The faster milling capability of the PFIB enables the analysis of a relevant set of features that are too large for conventional gallium FIB. Key features
include: the PFIB 2.0 ion column offers high beam current and an excellent beam profile over the full current range, Elstar electron column with UC+ monochromator for high-resolution imaging, wide range of gas chemistries, easy-to-use Auto Slice & View and AutoTEM 4.0 software, fast and easy guided TEM sample preparation for novice users, and self-alignment and optimization of system operating parameters.
