New Remotely Controlled Chilling and Heating Stations
Torrey Pines Scientific announces its EchoTherm™ Series of remotely controlled heating and chilling dry baths Models RHB20 and RIC20. They are for use in robotic systems and in fume hoods or environmental chambers where remote control is necessary.
Control is by computer or the Torrey Pines Scientific MIC20 Remote Terminal via their RS232 I/O ports. The MIC20 or computers are used to configure and control the RIC20 and RHB20 remotely for setting and controlling the temperature of samples in various containers from assay plates to centrifuge tubes from -20.0°C to 120.0°C with control and accuracy to ± 0.2°C.
Connect the MIC20 to any one of these units to set and display temperature and timer, collect current set point or temperature, set or clear an idle mode, or calibrate the units using the RS232 cable provided with the MIC20. The MIC20 can be disconnected from one unit and used to set another unit while the prior unit proceeds to do as it was instructed. A PC or computer in a robot can be used to do the same.
The MIC20 measures 4.0” (102 mm) x 5.0” (127 mm) x 2.5” (63.5 mm). The RIC20 measures 6.5” (165 mm) x 4.75” (120 mm) x 4” (101 mm). The RHB20 measures 5.25” (133 mm) x 3.5” (89 mm) x 2.0” (51 mm). The RIC20 and the RHB 20 have accessory brackets available for mounting the units to robotic
systems.They are provided with user manual, serial command set, universal power supply for use anywhere in the world, AC line cord for the country of use, and 12-month warranty.
All EchoTherm™ units are UL, CSA, and CE compliant.

Orbital Shaking Incubators are the Perfect Choice for your Laboratory
MRC launches the new series of BenchTop Orbital Shaking Incubators. These incubators are designed to work with a temperature range of + 5°C above the ambient temperature and up to 70°C, with ±0.1°C accuracy at 37°C and include PID temperature controller. They provide variable speed control from 40 to 400 rpm, provided with an Integrated tachometer which monitors and displays speed in rpm to guarantee an accurate setting. Their small dimensions are space saving and have transparent window in the front which provides a good visibility that minimise the need to open the chamber, and also automatically cut out the shaker when lid is open to protect the operator.
Shakers feature a triple eccentric drive that handles heavy workloads, provides uniform agitation and enables continuous 24-hour operation even at high speeds. Moreover, advanced shaking mechanism provides quiet shaking with minimum noise and no vibration. Accommodates flasks up to 2000 ml test tubes racks and gel tray.
MRC BenchTop Orbital Shaking Incubators are excellent for applications such as: cultivation of cell and tissue cultures or micro organisms, molecular biology, cell and insect culture, entomology studies, production of secondary natural substances and biogenetic pharmaceutics.

New Product Line of Big Crushers and Grinders Available
Retsch GmbH have enhanced their product range with a complete line of instruments for applications with large feed sizes and high throughput rates. The new program will be integrated into the existing product line under the name of ‘X-Large’ and complement it in many areas. Now Retsch offer, for example, a series of jaw crushers with feed sizes from 40 mm to 350x170 mm. The new XL models of ball mills, vibratory disc mills and sample dividers provide a substantially higher throughput than the laboratory-scale models. The new portfolio also includes a number of testing equipment to determine the Bond Grinding Indices.
This program extension will give Retsch access to markets like the coal, steel and mining industry which until now could only be served with laboratory instruments for small sample volumes. Retsch, who
celebrate their 100th anniversary this year, is now the only supplier worldwide offering a portfolio that ranges from ball mills for nano grinding to jaw crushers with a throughput of 3500 kg per hour, thus covering the entire field of size reduction.

Walkaway Batch Processing for Spark 10M Reader Now Available
Tecan’s innovative Spark 10M multimode reader can now be combined with the company’s Connect™ microplate stacker to offer semi-automated batch processing of up to 50 assay plates. A newly developed software interface allows seamless operation of the Connect stacker through the reader’s SparkControl™ software, helping to streamline laboratory workflows for greater productivity.
The Connect is a versatile microplate stacker designed to offer fast, smooth transfer of plates to and from the host instrument. Already popular with users of Tecan’s Infinite® series microplate readers and HydroSpeed™ plate washers, this proven and reliable system can now be used in conjunction with the powerful Spark 10M reader. All common microplates conforming to ANSI/SLAS standards – from 6- to 1,536-wells – can be used with Connect, with a choice of 30- or 50-plate cassettes to suit a variety of throughputs. Optional dark covers are also available to protect light sensitive reactions, making the system ideally suited to a wide range of applications in genomics, proteomics and drug discovery.
