Sample Preparation & Processing New Bar Code Reader Offers Sample Traceability and Enhanced Security


Wheaton is pleased to introduce the new SingleScan Bar Code Reader. This is the latest introduction for Wheaton, advancing their charter to design and deliver today’s most innovative solutions for the laboratory research, diagnostic packaging and specialty pharmaceuticals industries.


The Wheaton SingleScan Bar Code Reader was created as a tool to aid researchers in making sample traceability more efficient and accurate. A sophisticated 2D Data Matrix and 1D Linear Bar Code Reader capable of reading coded vials and ampules from a wide range of manufacturers and label printers, the new SingleScan Bar Code Reader offers enhanced reading performance in a compact unit. Researchers simply hold or place the vials, such as our CryoELITE® Cryogenic vials, over the scanning element for rapid reading and precise identification.


The SingleScan features a user-friendly, plug-and-play design that enables an easy set-up with no software installation required, simply plug into the USB port and open the application file. The USB interface allows for an easy connection to any computer and enables multiple user/multiple software applications. Additionally, the inputs decoded bar code ID into any software application where the cursor is placed, making the SingleScan the easiest and most cost effective way to manage and track biological samples.


“We are seeing more and more interest in productivity in laboratories, especially those labs performing biobanking,” said Stephen R. Drozdow, President of Wheaton. “Our approach has always been to make the researcher’s day-to-day tasks easier, and more effective in letting them concentrate on their life’s work,” he added.


The SingleScan Bar Code Reader is another addition to Wheaton BioBanking Solutions™, a comprehensive offering of high quality products and customised services for research that also includes glass or plastic cryogenic containers, biobank storage boxes, and barcoding and scanners.

Bringing the Pieces Together


Sample management software provider, Titian Software, has announced that Mosaic™, the premier sample management software, can now integrate with Matrical Biosciences automated stores. This development means that Mosaic is capable of interfacing with all industry accepted compound stores. Well-known for delivering fast, efficient and fully traceable workflows for storing and preparing samples ready for use, Mosaic has applications in any laboratory setting, from enterprise-wide sample management to single storage sites, for compounds, biological samples, and reagents.


Mosaic is comprised of five flexible modules, including, inventory tracking, ordering, workflow management, robotics and integration APIs. The Matrical Biosciences automated store interface is one of many supported by the robotics module, and this allows sample order details to be acted upon automatically. Similar interfaces are provided for dispensing instruments, with all order steps orchestrated by the workflow management module. Altogether this means that samples are delivered to specification; promptly and without error.

Vibrating Cup Mill Now with Higher Grinding Performance


The Fritsch Vibrating Cup Mill PULVERISETTE 9 has been modified. Now in a new design and with the following features: increased grinding power now with up to 1500 rpm and new drive concept; LCD display with self-explanatory, multilingual menu navigation for exact to the second adjustment of grinding time, pause-periods and rotational speed – grinding cycles can also be programmed and stored; especially safe - tensioning and anti-twist protection of the grinding set, as well as the lock of the hood were additionally modified; especially user-friendly - the weight especially of the grinding sets 250ml, were enormously reduced - grinding sets made of chromium-free steel (50, 100, 250ml useful volume) and zirconium oxide in 50 and 100ml useful volume are also available; and now with complete noise insulation of the entire instrument


The Fritsch Vibrating Cup Mill PULVERISETTE 9 is indispensable for all areas in which hard, brittle and fibrous materials must be ground extremely quick down to analytical fineness. And ideal for fast sample preparation, such as in the areas of spectroscopy preparation, ore and geology laboratories, mining and metallurgy, ceramics industry, agriculture and environmental science, infrared and x-ray fluorescence analysis. Users benefit from perfect, loss-free grinding results in the shortest times with ergonomically handling.


No similar mill offers a more convenient operation: The working position is ergonomically optimised, the ease of cleaning is without match, the grinding set is placed on a practical carriage, allowing it to be easily moved to the final position and rapidly fastened in seconds with a quick clamping system – which is back-friendly and saves energy and time. A special detector automatically detects when you use an agate or zirconium oxide grinding set for metal-free grinding and Fritsch the rotational speed independently.


A symmetrical eccentric developed by Fritsch ensures fast and safe clamping of the grinding set, which is also automatically monitored. The defined final position and an integrated anti-twist protection provide additional safety. Grinding sets in five different materials and three different sizes from 50ml to 250ml volume are available for the Fritsch Vibrating Cup Mill – for each application the suitable one.

Liquid Scintillation Counter can Handle up to Eight Sample Trays


LabLogic’s 300SL liquid scintillation counter is now available with a high throughput sample stacker capable of loading and unloading up to 8 sample trays automatically, giving the counter a capacity of up to 768 vials.


Supplied with a very user-friendly software interface, the stacker can be purchased with the instrument, or in retrospect if capacity needs increase. It can also be removed easily and stored elsewhere if the lab downsizes, or when a large project come to an end.


Together, the 300SL and the sample stacker provide an extremely compact basic platform along with the flexibility to upgrade for higher throughput at a later date – perfect for the uncertainty associated with research projects and the size limitations of modern radiation labs.

Better Handling


The Aquatrode plus with plug-in head U from Metrohm was specially developed for measurements and titrations in low-ion and poorly buffered samples, such as surface waters and deionised water. These are the major benefits: special membrane glass with low resistance for measurement in low-ion solutions.This guarantees very short response times even in such difficult samples (fast measurement or end point titration); fixed ground-joint diaphragm with low resistance and very low, clearly defined electrolyte flow for fast, very accurate and reproducible pH measurement / titration; double- junction design with maintenance-free inner electrolyte (gel) enables the bridge electrolyte to be adapted to the measurement conditions; and screening of the inner tube prevents interference due to static electricity


In addition to these advantages, the Aquatrode plus now offers easy storage/fast electrode replacement/complete flexibility due to its removable cable.
