Laboratory Products 59 Versatile Multi Position Heating Block System
The DrySyn MULTI from Asynt allows scientists to perform safe, productive heating and stirring experiments with the widest possible range of laboratory glassware. Affordably priced the DrySyn MULTI converts any standard hotplate stirrer into a reaction block accommodating three flasks (10ml - 100ml), or up to 12 reactions in tubes or vials.
The ingenious three-way Asynt MULTI clamps make it quick and easy to secure flasks in place, while DrySyn’s shallow well shape increases reaction visibility.
Made of chemically resistant, anodised aluminium, DrySyn MULTI heating blocks offer excellent heating performance to over 300ºC and can heat a reaction flask 25% faster than an oil bath.
Providing excellent heating and stirring performance but without the inherent risks and mess of an oil bath, DrySyn heating blocks help lab scientists create a safer, cleaner and more efficient working environment. The DrySyn MULTI also offers a flexible, safe alternative to using heating mantles.
The DrySyn MULTI's combination of flexibility, productive performance and safety at a truly affordable price is particularly popular in teaching and open-access laboratories, where a single compact reaction station can provide heating facilities for several users.

Cap Strips Offer Targeted Area Microplate Sealing
Porvair Sciences has introduced a new range of cap strips that provide high integrity sealing of deep well plates (2ml, 1ml and 350ul square well) as well as its Microlute 96 well SPE/Protein Precipitation plates. The new caps come in strips of eight enabling the user to securely seal samples in just a selected area of a microplate. Manufactured from durable EVA film, the centre of each cap has a thinner area enabling multichannel pipette or robotic probes to quickly and easily pierce and remove sample without generating aerosols or other sources of cross- contamination. Providing secure sample protection from -80°C to +80°C, Porvair cap strips are supplied in boxes of 300.

New Reduced Volume TAN System Saves Cost and use of Organic Solvents by 75%
GR Scientific have launched a new micro system for Total Acid Number (TAN) analysis of oil samples. A micro combination pH electrode and optimised titration vessel have been developed specifically to address the reduction in organic solvent consumption. The system enables the user to save up to 75% of the volume and cost of organic solvent used in the analysis.
The new system reduces the cost per test to around £1 and greatly reduces the cost of waste solvent disposal. GR Scientific have worked closely with a UK sensor company to develop a micro combination electrode to use with the system.
The electrode offers excellent stability for non-aqueous titrations. It is an ‘easy to clean’ design which is an important feature for oil analysis instruments. The system is easy to use and has been developed specifically for the wide range of TAN values expected from oil industry samples.

New Software Enables Analyser Integration with Ease
Malvern Instruments has added new functionality to its Malvern Link II product, the powerful software package that enables the integration of multiple analysers within an automated control platform. The latest developments extend the benefits of Malvern Link II to the company’s Mastersizer and Zetasizer analyser ranges, streamlining their use for applications in process monitoring and control.
New drivers in Malvern Link II provide a single interface for the Mastersizer 2000, Mastersizer 3000 and the Zetasizer Nano systems, permitting their secure and efficient connection with all types of automated control systems, including DCS, Scada and PLC. Through this single interface users can establish automated monitoring and rapidly implement efficient closed loop control with minimal expert engineering input. This reduces barriers to automation and helps maximise the economic return on investment in analysis.
“Healthy order numbers suggest that the proven ability of Malvern Link II to enable analyser integration by those without significant control/automation expertise gives it broad appeal across the manufacturing industries,” remarked Gerard Michel, Senior Automation Engineer. ”We’re delighted to have the new drivers available to help more people with this issue and make it simpler for people for use our analysers efficiently for process monitoring”
Having the ability to fully exploit the data produced by any analyser is the key to optimising its value. Increasingly this means embedding it within an automated control system, often alongside other instrumentation, to implement multi-variate control. Historically such integration has been an expert task and the significant attendant costs have tended to inhibit uptake.
Malvern Link II is widely used to integrate the Insitec process particle sizer within manufacturing plant and it is positive feedback from this that has stimulated its extension to other instruments in the Malvern range. The Zetasizer Nano is the world’s most widely used system for nanoparticle, colloid and protein size, zeta potential and molecular weight measurements while the Mastersizer 3000 is the latest generation of Malvern’s highly successful laser diffraction particle sizing system. The new drivers act as a bridge between the analyser and the control system and are already being used to address water monitoring applications (Zetasizer) and cement measurement within the automated laboratory setting (Mastersizer).
