57 Automatic Melting Point now Available with IQ/OQ Documentation


Stuart’s highly successful SMP40 automatic melting point apparatus is now available with full documentation for installation qualification and operation qualification (IQ/OQ).


Using digital video imaging technology to detect and capture accurately the melting point of up to three samples simultaneously, the SMP40 features a full colour 5.7” VGA screen to view the melt process in real time or retrospectively. Maximum footprint flexibility is ensured by the split design so, for example, the sample side of the apparatus can be placed at the back of the bench or even in a fume cupboard, while the control side detects whether it is being used upright or on its side and adjusts the screen orientation accordingly.


Jackie Taylor, Stuart Product Manager, commented: “Incorporating digital video imaging, an intuitive touchscreen interface and an innovative split design concept, the SMP40 has achieved significant success. As market leader in melting point technology, Stuart is pleased to respond to customer needs by offering the option to order the SMP40 with comprehensive IQ/OQ documentation. This will enable regulated laboratories to meet the audit requirements of cGMP.”


Walk-away operation increases laboratory efficiency and the SMP40’s USB connectivity facilitates long-term traceability of results. Around 200 results in the form of .avi video files of the melt process can be stored by the SMP40 for viewing on the unit’s screen; USB ports enable transfer to a flash drive or PC via Microsoft®

New Multifunction Centrifuges


The new AWEL™ range of centrifuges from BMS International are now launched, including the Multifunction format. Bringing practical innovation to the service of the customer each model in the MF series offers a large sample capacity for its class and accepts a variety of swing-out, microplate, and angle rotors. New features include the AWELight™ system that displays blue lid lights at the run end to indicate that samples are ready to be removed, increasing operator efficiency and improving process results. The AWELock™ system permits rotors to be exchanged and safely locked in position without using tools. A low profile adds to the convenience. The AWELine™ system automatically detects if the centrifuge is not horizontal – an essential safety requirement for the huge forces involved.


Responsibility in ecology means an energy regulation programme and automatic shutdown when unused; an AWEL centrifuge consumes less energy than its counterparts. Circle no. 161


ADVERTORIAL Ceramus® and Ceramus® -Classic


The bottle top dispenser with ceramic piston. The calibration is, by means of the combination of a micro-step volume adjustment and the step gauge, valid for the device's lifetime; a recalibration is not necessary. All valves and tubes can be disassembled within a few seconds by the user himself and therefore provide the possibility to clean the device easily. The new reagent recirculation system (only ceramus®


) makes priming e.g. when starting on a fresh bottle or after stopping the operation for quite a long time, simple. Almost without loss of reagent and easy on the environment.


Circle no. 162 Glass Capillaries


Hirschmann capillaries are modern and precise pipettes and laboratory equipment in micro litre volumes. These capillaries are mainly made of DURAN glass and convince with their extraordinary chemical and physical characteristics. The accuracy of our production reflects the precision of the volumetric measurement. Volumes down to 0.5 µl or inaccuracies of 0.5 % are no exemptions but rather standard. Well- known brand names like minicaps®


or ringcaps®


Hirschmann. Many OEM products show the flexibility and competence of Hirschmann for individual solutions for your tasks.


Circle no. 163 Solarus® - The Only Solar-Powered Digital Burette in the World


The first and only solar-powered digital burette worldwide. A clean solution in every respect. The electronics and display are power-ed exclusively by the integrated solar cell. Battery charging and replacement, high stand-by costs or tedious and expensive replacement of lithium cells by manufacturers are no longer necessary with Solarus®


. Solarus also sets new standards in manual titration when it comes


to speedier operation with enhanced precision. The clear digital display is easily legible, completely preventing meniscus reading errors.


The standard medium recirculation system facilitates aeration, prevents loss of expensive medium and protects the environment. Valves are easily replaceable, and the simple “QuickCal” customer calibration and manufacturer’s calibration parameters permanently stored in the unit enable adaptation to suit individual requirements. Moreover, the serial, bi-directional interface enables recording of realised titrations, further processing of titration data and definition of specific customer factors, thus opening up a whole new range of options in laboratory routines. The Solarus®


concept has not only convinced


many customers, but also the “iF Design Award” and “Red Dot Award” juries. These honours are recognised internationally as the premier awards for product design. solarus is also the first titration device to be awarded the “Blue Angel” environmental seal of approval.
