54 New Range of Automatic and Semi-Automatic Distillation Units
Velp Scientifica launches its new range of four UDK Series Distillation Units with a choice of automation features. UDK 129 is the entry level UDK 139 is the semi-automatic solution; UDK 149 and 159 are fully automatic. Various titrator, including the Titroline Easy available from Velp, can be connected to the UDK 149, while the UDK 159 incorporates colorimetric titration, the technology recommended in the AOAC standard. These distillation units are designed for applications such as determining ammoniacal nitrogen, protein nitrogen, (Kjeldahl or direct alkaline distillation), nitric nitrogen (after reduction), phenols, volatile fatty acids, cyanides, alcohol content and Devarda nitrogen determination.
All units have informative displays ranging from a 2-line readout for messages up to large, multi-function and coloured touch screens with powerful yet easy-to-use software displayed in a convenient language.
Unlike glass condensers, the titanium condenser ensures that the distillate temperature remains below the temperature threshold whereby there is no loss of nitrogen in order to guarantee an accurate analysis. For this reason the UDK series has the most efficient performance ever!
With operator safety in mind, continuous monitoring ensures that all important operational characteristics are functioning correctly. The automatic addition of reagents depends on the model.
The UDK Series is the ideal answer to your need to produce reliable results according to standards such as AOAC, EPA, DIN and ISO while ensuring conformity to GLP.

Ultracentrifuges Offer Cutting-edge Usability and Communication Features
New Optima X Series preparative ultracentrifuges from Beckman Coulter, Inc incorporate an array of contemporary technical features to enhance the user experience, increase productivity and reduce costs. The new floor-model instruments also incorporate the industry-leading technology that originally put Optima ultracentrifuges at the top of their class.
Probes for qPCR Further Optimised
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has expanded its ZEN™ double-quencher probe portfolio to offer a new range of quencher/dye combinations. The probes are now available with a choice of five fluorescent dyes, FAM, HEX, TET, MAX or JOE, providing additional experimental flexibility. Part of the PrimeTime®
experiment end point signal, significantly boosting qPCR sensitivity and precision when compared to more traditional probes. Data illustrating the power of utilizing the ZEN system can be found by downloading the latest information leaflet from the IDT website.

A large touchscreen display on all Optima X Series products offers a selection of nine languages so that speakers of English, Japanese, German, Chinese (simplified), Korean, Spanish, French, Italian and Russian can work in their native language. The screen is big enough to be visible from across the lab and is easy to operate, even with gloved
hands. Clean, intuitive design and on-screen help make it easy even for new users to quickly be acclimated and working. Real-time graphing plots speed and temperature over time as a run progresses.
New Safety Bunsen Burner Speaks Your Language
The schuett phoenix II Safety Bunsen Burner manufactured by schuett-biotec GmbH is the first burner equipped with a highlighted colour display and thereby satisfies the customer’s convenience and safety requirements to 100%. Easy menu navigation, in addition to settings, remarks and warning information that will be displayed in more than 10 international languages, makes working with this Safety Burner as simple and safe as never before.
After three generations of Gas-Safety Burners made by schuett-biotec with traditionally high-quality safety features, now the schuett phoenix II with its modern and fresh design, novel joystick navigation and unique ‘Click-Stop’ - gas/air regulation is launched. The user may choose between sensor, hand or foot mode. Comfortably the device may be connected to natural gas (central gas line) or propane/butane gas (variety of cartridges). A large range of accessories meets all customer requirements. Three models of schuett phoenix II are available: eco, standard and accu. For mobile operation, the schuett phoenix II accu, without any cables or hoses, allows for up to 30 hours of performance thanks to its high-power battery.
Circle no. 162 Laborama Returns
On March 22-23, 2012 the trade fair Laborama will take place for the 13th time at Brussels Kart Expo (Groot-Bijaarden). Laborama, an initiative of the professional association UDIAS, became the main meeting point for laboratory professionals in Belgium. More than 110 companies have already registered as exhibitors. The result is an exhibitors list full of interesting names.
Many professionals already have the dates marked in their agendas, but they can now also register their attendance for free. Pre- registrations can only be completed online via the Laborama website. Visitors can also register for the seminar program. Visitors who previously registered will receive a separate e-mail allowing them to also register for the seminar program.

Enhanced remote control capabilities allow the ultracentrifuges to be monitored from a personal computer or a smart phone. Users, therefore, do not have to stay in the lab or continuously go to the lab during a run. Should on-board diagnostics sense a problem or out-of-parameter condition, an email can be sent to the user as an alert, a feature that is exclusive to Beckman Coulter. High-level security and tracking features enable users in regulated environments to track run history and to keep run logs, and new electronic signature capabilities can be used to approve a run.
Regenerative braking captures the energy generated in slowing the rotor and applies it back to the lab’s local circuit, reducing overall energy costs. When powered on but not running, the unit requires the same energy as a 60-watt incandescent bulb, further increasing energy efficiency. Optima X Series ultracentrifuges reach a maximum speed of 100,000 rpm and generate forces up to 802,000 x g. With noise output of less than 51 dBa, this is the quietest floor model ultracentrifuge available today. Optima X Series instruments are available in two models: the XE, which delivers all of the basic features required to quickly set up and complete a run, and the XPN, which includes all features of the XE plus networking capability, on-board simulation tools and a variety of customisable security and tracking features. The XE is available in 90,000 and 100,000 rpm configurations, while the XPN is offered in 80,000, 90,000 and 100,000 rpm configurations.
