30 A Rack for Every Application
Heathrow Scientific presents The Universal Tube Rack to their comprehensive line of test tube holders. Heathrow Scientific has revolutionised the industry again by creating this one-sized-fits-all rack. With the twist of a knob this adaptable polypropylene rack can hold any tube from 15mL to 50mL (diameter of 16mm-30mm). The user can also simply slide the tube into the rack, and the Universal Tube Rack will automatically adjust to its size.
The Product Development Team at Heathrow Scientific has been planning and creating this idea for over a year. John Herbst from Product Development explained that the Universal Tube Rack: “Is perfect for someone working with ‘odd sized’ tubes. The rack will fit any tube within its range, not just standard sizes. I like that it’s a no-brainer. Just take your tube and insert it and it will fit.” The Universal Tube Rack is truly a rack for every application.
Furthermore, with imprinted references for easy identification and generously sized handles for easy transport, the Universal Tube Rack is designed for use and comfort.

As any scientist or technician knows, successful Elisa assays require a robust and easy to use microplate reader, and a rugged yet thorough microplate washer.
New Multipurpose Cap Tubes
Nerbe Plus is very pleased to introduce its new 1.5ml np Safelock-Cap tube. It is made of extremely clear polypropylene for the perfect optical inspection of sample material.
The new optimal lid-mechanism avoids accidental opening of the lid during centrifugation and thermal stress. It is ideal for centrifugation up to 30.000 x g centrifugal impact and for thermal exposure in incubation or in a water bath up to 100°C.
np Safelock-Cap tube provides a frosted labelling space on lid and side for an easy sample identification. The tubes feature an extremely accurate and clear graduation. The exceptionally designed lid rim enables the user to easily handle our np Safelock-Cap tube with just one hand to provide for a smooth workflow.
Our special precise lid-fit avoids evaporation or loss of precious sample material. np Safelock-Cap tube can be used in autoclaves. Our np Safelock-Cap tube is available in five colours, transparent, red, yellow, blue and green.
Circle no. 102 Latest Innovation in High-Throughput Tissue Processing
Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc has introduced the Thermo Scientific STP 420ES Tissue Processor for high-throughput tissue processing. This new tissue processor enables faster turnaround times for same-day diagnosis and leaner workflows through operational flexibility.
Using a dual chamber design, which features unique rotational agitation that increases flow of traditional reagents by seven-fold to reduce processing times, the STP 420ES can process up to 420 cassettes per run. Holding 360 and 60 cassettes in the first and second chambers respectively, the second chamber allows independent processing of STAT samples, as well as special or difficult tissues, without disrupting routine workflow or requiring the use of a second instrument.
By performing multiple runs per day and two protocols simultaneously, a laboratory using the STP 420ES can benefit from increased processing capacity and superior agitation with no additional capital expenditure. Furthermore, when used in combination with the Thermo Scientific Fast Flex range of reagents, the new tissue processor can cost-effectively halve traditional processing times to only 4.4 hours for 5mm specimens and under one hour for biopsies. This is all done while continuing to provide the highest-quality results.
Compared to other tissue processors, the STP 420ES offers higher performance with the flexibility to increase or decrease processing speeds as desired, leaving the laboratory and its staff in complete control of its workflow. Additionally, the control and monitoring of both chambers is provided simply via a single touch- screen user interface.

By effectively gripping items into place it can also be used to cushion and stabilise vials, shakers and other fragile laboratory equipment - providing the ideal solution where vibration and slipping occurs or where thorough mixing is required.
Easy to clean and maintain, the BenchMat is non- particulating, and requires no adhesives.
Other products from Dycem include a range of non-slip mats available in a variety of sizes and colour options. The mats are ideal for placing on rocker platforms when stirring and mixing takes place.
Non-Slip Bench Protection Mat
For a limited period, Biochrom customers can purchase the Biochrom EZ Read 400 ELISA reader and a choice of either the Asys Atlantis 2 or Anthos Fluido 2 W2 microplate washers for a special package price. Valid for orders placed until the end of September 2011, details of this promotion can be found online.
Designed specifically for busy labs that perform ELISA assays, the Biochrom EZ Read 400 ELISA reader comes pre- fitted with four filters covering the most commonly used wavelengths (405, 450, 492, and 620nm). The reader is remotely operated via the user-friendly, and Windows 7 compatible, ADAP 2.0 software.
The Biochrom microplate washers perform gentle, yet thorough, aspiration, and are configurable to most microplate well formats, including v-bottom and u-bottom.
The washers are quiet and safe to operate due to Biochrom’s diaphragm pump technology, which reduces both noise and dangerous aerosols.
