The new modular microviscometer from Anton Paar provides highly accurate viscosity determination from only 400 µL sample volume. Results allow deep insights into the viscosity of liquids, providing accuracy up to 0.5% and repeatability up to 0.1%. The microviscometer is available as a stand- alone viscometer or in combination with a DMA M density meter for simultaneous determination of density, kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity. Combinations with other parameters, such as sound velocity, are also available. Depending on the task, the Lovis 2000 M/ME microviscometer provides the following benefits:
Easy-operation viscometer - manual operation of Lovis 2000 M/ME requires only selection of the measuring method, sample filling and pressing ‘Start’. Connecting a Plug and Play sample changer enables automatic measurement of up to 96 samples at the push of a button. Temperature control is quick and precise. Under optimal conditions, results are ready after 30 seconds.
Low-viscosity rolling-ball rheometer - Lovis 2000 M/ME is also a ‘lovis’ rolling-ball rheometer. It provides the option of varying the inclination, which corresponds to the shear rate. The microviscometer therefore determines the shear rate dependence of low-viscosity liquids, which makes it suitable for zero-shear viscosity investigations. All-round viscometer - Lovis 2000 M/ME is specially designed for low-viscosity liquids but can be used for viscosity measurement on samples with a viscosity of up to 10,000 mPa.s, at any temperature from 5°C to 100°C. Lovis 2000 M/ME is also suitable for measuring highly corrosive or aggressive samples. Whether for research or industry, Lovis 2000 M/ME does a lot with a little sample volume.

Innovative Dry Vacuum Pump Range
New 96-Channel Handheld Electronic Pipette
The Integra VIAFLO 96 is a new 96-channel electronic pipette that enables fast, precise and easy simultaneous transfer of 96 samples. The VIAFLO 96 has been designed to be used just like a standard handheld pipette. Therefore, no special skills or training are required to operate it. The VIAFLO 96 features the company’s popular Touch Wheel™ pipette user interface enabling simple and fast programming of a wide range of pipetting modes including repeat dispense, serial dilute and sample dilute.
Customers will immediately benefit from the increased productivity delivered by their VIAFLO 96. Fast replication or
Edwards gave a world preview of its new nXDS range of dry scroll vacuum pumps for scientific, laboratory and R&D applications at AVS 2011. Edwards also exhibited its extensive range of high performance vacuum equipment and visitors to the stand saw the new T-station 75 turbo cart pump and innovative nEXT turbomolecular pumps. Edwards’ new nXDS pump is an environmentally friendly oil- free vacuum pump that has no lubricants in the vacuum. This eliminates the need for regular oil changes and users can benefit from low maintenance. It is fully serviceable in the field, which results in low downtime and an overall low cost of ownership. It has reduced power consumption with minimum environmental impact and delivers exceptional pumping speeds and ultimate pressures with low acoustic noise levels, making it an ideal ‘fit and forget’ pump for the laboratory.
The compact entry level T-station 75 turbo pumping station is the smallest in Edwards’ range of pumping stations and can pump a chamber to the required vacuum up to twice as fast as competitive products thanks to higher capacity backing pumps. It provides reliable high performance and is an excellent ‘plug and play’ solution for those wanting to achieve high vacuum quickly and simply.
Edwards’ nEXT turbomolecular pumps provide exceptional high vacuum performance in a compact size. Edwards’ innovative vacuum technology is designed for maximum reliability and easy user serviceability. The pumps also feature green modes, enabling users to reduce their carbon footprints and save energy costs.
“At Edwards we continually invest in innovation and are pleased to be previewing the nXDS,” said David Steele, Business Development Manager, Edwards. “Our knowledgeable team has decades of experience in the scientific industry and our high quality vacuum pumps and controllers provide a clean environment with excellent reliability. Our extensive range of pumps offers a wide variety of sizes and variants giving OEMs and end users a greater choice and the flexibility to tailor the most appropriate vacuum solution to meet their individual needs.”

reformatting of 96 and 384 well plates and high precision transferring of reagents, compounds and solutions to or from microplates is now as easy as pipetting with a standard electronic pipette into a single tube.
Four pipetting heads with pipetting volumes up to 12.5 µl, 125 µl, 300 µl or 1250 µl are available for the VIAFLO 96. These pipetting heads are interchangeable within seconds enabling optimal matching of the available volume range to the application performed.
The VIAFLO 96 uses VIAFLO GripTips which provide a perfect seal every time and won't fall off during use. These tips can also be used for other VIAFLO electronic pipettes. The unique combination of features provided by the VIAFLO 96 will not only increase your productivity but also facilitate accurate delivery of liquids to target vessels, reduce cross contamination, lower operating fatigue and provide consistent results.

Software Tool Enables Easy Pipette Management Integra has announced VIALINK – a new pipette management
tool that allows users to simply create and manage custom programs, maintain a service history and transfer firmware upgrade details between VIAFLO electronic pipettes and your PC.
VIALINK can be used to securely manage and productively organise all pipettes in your lab. Personnel can keep track of their VIAFLO pipettes using VIALINK to record user name, serial number, service history and latest software version installed.
Pipetting protocols can be set up as custom programs with VIALINK and then copied onto your VIAFLO pipettes. Users can create a program library which can hold an unlimited number of pipetting protocols. Up to 20 custom programs can then be stored on the pipette itself. With VIALINK, creating individual custom programs is both quick and easy.
Using VIALINK - important service information, such as date of last calibration or service, can be stored on the pipettes.
To use VIALINK - VIAFLO single and multi- channel electronic pipettes require a programming stand which not only functions as connector to a PC but also serves as a handy charging stand. To use VIALINK with the VIAFLO 96 only a standard USB cable is required.
