Safety First with new Compact Shield for Stirrer Hotplates
Asynt’s Compact Lab Safety Shield fits neatly around any stirrer hotplate to provide robust, convenient protection from splashes, aerosols and spills. Ideal for use where fume hood space is at a premium, the Safety Shield offers additional protection for chemists in the event of a tube or cap failure under pressure, even if the fume hood sash is raised.
Manufactured from 5mm polycarbonate, the Safety Shield is resistant to a range of commonly- used laboratory solvents and is temperature- resistant to 170ºC. Designed with a small footprint to maximise fume hood space, the shield maintains access to hotplate controls and gives good all-round visibility of the reaction or process.
In addition to giving essential protection in applications such as heated parallel reactions in tubes, especially those operating under pressure, the device also shields reactions from the cooling effect of ventilation.
Manufactured in the UK, this is the only compact safety shield available for under £100, which fits Asynt, IKA and Heidolph stirrer hotplates.

Circle no. 90 Kit To Assist in Detection of Endogenous Peptides
Denator AB announced that it has launched the first in a series of kits designed for use with the company’s heat-stabilisation system. The Stabilizor™ Peptide Extraction Kit enables users to heat-stabilise, homogenise and extract endogenous peptides from tissue samples prior to analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
During downstream analysis, the presence of endogenous peptides, often existing at very low levels in vivo, can be masked by peptide fragments generated from normal degradation processes. Utilisation of Denator’s Stabilizor system, based on the company’s heat-stabilisation technology, has been shown to stop tissue degradation from the moment of sampling, preventing the enzymatic processes that generate peptide fragments.
This news will be of particular interest to researchers looking at the role of neuropeptides in neurogenerative diseases. A recently published paper demonstrated an increased recovery of neuropeptides from tissue samples when utilising heat stabilisation followed by an optimal extraction protocol (Neuropeptide profiling of the bovine hypothalamus: Thermal stabilisation is an effective tool in inhibiting post-mortem degradation.
Olof Sköld, CEO at Denator, explained further: “Working closely with users of our system has revealed that the quality of final results can be influenced by the extraction methods used after heat stabilisation.
This new kit offers the convenience of having all necessary accessories and solutions ready to use, and, most importantly, includes a validated protocol that aims to maximise the recovery of endogenous, water-soluble peptides for subsequent analysis by LC-MS. We see this development as a natural step to ensure that researchers who heat-stabilise tissues upstream achieve the best possible analytical results downstream.”
Implementation of the Stabilizor solution in laboratory workflows is reflected in a growing number of peer- reviewed publications particularly from proteomic laboratories. Scientists are able to perform many analyses without risk of sample degradation, confident that their results truly reflect the in vivo situation.
