Laboratory Products 53 Innovative Characterisation Instruments Provide Nanoparticle Research Breakthrough
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences debuted a new family of innovative particle characterisation products at Pittcon 2013. DelsaMax particle analysers measure the size and zeta potential of nanoparticles with groundbreaking speed and high precision. Instruments in the family utilise two independent detection systems that operate in parallel – a unique and proprietary configuration that significantly streamlines workflows in biological, chemical, material and polymer science applications. DelsaMax PRO light scattering and zeta potential analyser provides precise measurement of the size, structure and charge of particles 0.4 to 10,000nm in diameter in as little as one second, the fastest particle analysis available. An Avalanche photodiode detector provides size measurements, and 31 independent photodetectors measure zeta potential, dramatically reducing analysis time and increasing accuracy.
Chemistry and materials applications are facilitated in the PRO through fast, reliable measurement of sub-10nm particles, weak scatters and dilute systems. Measuring zeta potential in particles down to 1nm means that small biologicals can be analysed, and, importantly, proteins in native conditions are not damaged, allowing stable and reproducible assessment of zeta potential and isoelectric point even at very low volumes and low concentrations.
DelsaMax CORE analysers utilise independent dynamic and true static light-scattering detectors to measure the size and molecular weight of particles from 0.4 to 10,000nm, at sample volumes as low as 1mL. The cuvette-based system operates at temperatures between -15º and 150ºC. A unique cell pressurisation system, DelsaMax ASSIST, forces inert gas into the flow cell of the PRO to reduce bubbling, stabilise the sample and simplify injections. The PRO can also connect to a standard HPLC autosampler to speed sample loading and unloading. DelsaMax Analysis Software features an intuitive interface with fully customisable auto-correction analysis and the ability to create overlays, custom user variables, reports and more. Spurious data can be edited out without rerunning the sample.

Redesigned Rheometer Provides Totally New User Experience
Brookfield Engineering Laboratories has launched the new DV3T Rheometer with full colour touch-screen technology. This major redesign enhances ease of use while adding popular features. The new DV3T offers customers the most advanced user experience in viscosity measurement and measurement.
The 7-inch full colour touch screen conveniently displays all test parameters along with measured values for yield stress, viscosity and temperature. On screen graphing shows real-time test data which can be captured in stand-alone mode, recorded on a printer or sent to a PC. Built-in math models, such as Power Law, can provide rapid data analysis for flow index and other selectable variables.
Quick, straight-forward, single point viscosity is also easily accomplished with the DV3T making it the ideal “all-in-one” instrument for busy QC labs as well as demanding R&D departments doing comprehensive flow behaviour.
New PG Flash Software (Program Generator) allows the operator to create repeatable custom tests on a PC using the same controls they see on the new DV3T.
Once the program is created, it can be uploaded directly to the DV3T via flash drive. Both the software and flash drive are included with the instrument.
Enhanced security elements such as customisable user levels and password access to assist with regulatory
requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11 are available with optional RheocalcT Software.
Brookfield also offers the new DV3T Extra (ideal for busy labs with multiple operators, or dusty and dirty work environments) and the new DV3TCP (the Wells/Brookfield Cone & Plate model for small samples requiring temperature control).

-FeliX from CyBio is a flexible and compact liquid handling platform for single to multichannel pipetting on the smallest footprint of 650 x 450mm. The unique deck design offers 12 positions for microplates, tube racks, reservoirs and tips.
CyBi®
Furthermore there is a selection of optional accessories like tip wash station and microplate heating and cooling available. For reliable precision in every volume range you can choose between the interchangeable 96- /384-channel pipetting heads and the CHOICE™ pipetting head with a unique volume range of 500nl to 1ml.
Along with the parallel processing of whole 96- and 384-well microplates, the CyBi®
-FeliX
also allows to work in single wells, rows and columns without the need of manual intervention.
The CyBi®
-FeliX is based on 25 years of liquid handling experience to support your applications like filling of plates and tubes, creating reaction set-ups for PCR and sequencing, ELISA, hit picking or pooling of samples and serial dilutions.
The platform can be adjusted to any application requirements through the right combination of pipetting heads and accessories any time.
Therefore, the CyBi® -FeliX is the ideal platform
for a variety of automated liquid handling tasks suitable for every laboratory.
