High Throughput Rheometer for CC, CP and PP Measurements
Anton Paar’s High Throughput Rheometer (HTR) is the first fully automated rheometer which is designed for concentric cylinder, cone and plate and parallel plate measurements. The system features fully automated sample loading, trimming, measurement and cleaning for 24/7 operation. A high-precision robot in combination with the powerful Anton Paar MCR 502 rheometer performs automated measurements on substances ranging from low-viscosity liquids to soft solids. All patented features of the MCR 502, such as Toolmaster™, TruGap™,T-Ready™, TruRate™ and TruStrain™, are available with the HTR. The system is obtainable as a standalone or can be fully integrated in other automation systems. All features can be customised to fit individual needs. The robotic cell is compact, with dimensions of roughly 1700 x 1200 x 2000 mm (w/d/h).
Circle no. 232 New Semi-Automatic Intestinal Parasite Analyser
The new parasite analyser from Diasys significantly increases the throughput of a laboratory as continually preparing each specimen manually is currently a very laborious process. This analyser optimises human resources and saves money on slides, coverslips and pipettes.
This innovative analyser provides 4x the sensitivity than the manual technique and in a fraction of the time it takes to conduct a microscopic examination. It standardises laboratory protocol and improves morphology as the new flow cell provides a 3D view of the organisms without the distortion, which is usually created by the pressure of a coverslip.
Health and safety benefits also apply because lab staff do not come into contact with hazardous samples or reagents.

Solution Provider for Washers
Getinge Lancer offers one of the broadest range of washers and washer-dryers on the market nowadays. Customers can select among 25 different models depending upon application type, quantities and dimensions of parts/glassware to be processed. The company’s exclusive four-decade experience in the lab environment washing has led to an unchallenged selection of racks and accessories to support the parts/glassware in a safe and efficient way.
Light Scattering Technologies Support Formulation Development for Recombinant Albumins
Scientists from Malvern Instruments and from biological ingredients and technology developers, Novozymes Biopharma, have successfully completed the first phase of extensive collaborative studies. These have involved the application of Malvern’s light scattering technologies in evaluating the formulation stability of two of Novozymes leading recombinant albumin products – Albucult®
and Recombumin® – which
are used in the manufacture of human therapeutics.
The teams applied the resolving and detection capabilities of size exclusion chromatography light scattering (SEC-LS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) offered by Malvern’s Zetasizer Nano system to monitor the stability of these Novozymes products. These results have now been published as a series of application notes that are freely available on the Malvern Instruments website.
Mark Perkins, Customer Solution Specialist from Novozymes, explained: “When developing an active pharmaceutical ingredient it is important to design a formulation that offers long term stability over a range of storage conditions. Liquid formulations allow easy and economical product handling during manufacture and convenience for the end user, but some proteins prove difficult to formulate in this way. Recombumin and Albucult have been designed to aid in the development of liquid formulations of unstable APIs, and a detailed understanding and confirmation of their stability under a variety of conditions is essential. The Malvern systems have proved highly effective in this application, allowing us to further demonstrate the stability and purity of our products and how this may be translated into improving liquid biopharmaceutical formulations.”
Malcolm Connah, Product Marketing Manager, Malvern Instruments, said: “Malvern is delighted to be working with a company so active in this important area of biopharmaceutical development. We look forward to seeing Recombumin and Albucult helping in the delivery of drugs and vaccines that are challenging to formulate.”
Novozymes' animal-free, recombinant albumin (rAlbumin) range helps pharmaceutical drug and medical device manufacturers deliver safe and affordable product improvements in a variety of applications.
Dynamic Light Scattering using the Zetasizer Nano can be applied to predict the stability of a protein formulation, as well as monitoring how the protein responds to thermal stress. This information is useful in the design of production processes and sample handling recommendations.
Circle no. 235
The professional design and construction using high-grade stainless steel extensively make these models able to withstand the most intensive use and the most aggressive applications (high-level of detergent concentrations and/or high temperatures for instance) long term.
A robust design construction is not automatically the key for an efficient washing performance. Thorough coverage of processed parts/glassware combined with adequate pressure, temperature and detergent dosage during the right time are the only guarantee for perfect results. All such parameters are controlled and monitored to ensure washing quality.
