34 New Wireless Data Recorder


T&D Corporation has introduced its new Wireless Data Recorder RTR-505TC that can measure and record temperatures from -199°C to +1,300°C. These new data recorders are compatible with J, K, S & T type thermocouples and accept industry standard miniature connectors.


The RTR-505TC has 15 recording intervals from 1 second to 60 minutes and a capacity to store 16,000 readings. Additional features include a large LCD display, IP64 water resistance and battery life up to 4 years with ‘L’ version. The units have a communication range up to 500ft, which is extendable with a repeater. They are compatible with all TandD RTR-500 Series Wireless Data Collectors, which allow for data retrieval to a PC, over a network or the Internet, or through a cellular phone system.

A New Era in Ultra-


High-Capacity Washing Lancer introduces the new 1600 LXP. By using innovative techniques, such as a new piping system and a large flexibility in the configuration of loading alternatives for different types of glassware, the new 1600 LXP is well suited to fit the market needs for high-productive labs at the same time combining energy efficiency.


Air Preparation Equipment Added To Range


The Marsh Bellofram company have been appointed as UK distributors for the Shavo range of air preparation equipment, combining durability and performance while representing excellent value for money. Shavo started manufacturing under licence with designs and drawings provided by C A Norgren Co, USA for their well-established range of industrial pneumatic filters, regulators and airline lubricators including both the oil mist and micro mist versions. The Shavo range of FRL equipment including coalescing oil removal filters for breathing quality air complements these. Stainless steel and precision filter regulators are also included for marine and other general corrosive or harsh condition applications.


The products include the Norgren design 07, 17 and 18 series of FRL’s together with the series 13 range of plug-in equipment. These can be supplied in port sizes from 1/8” to 2” BSP covering flows from 6 to 1890 scfm.


The Shavo own design products include their Vayu 10, 20, 60 and 70 series. The Vayu 20 range is suitable for plug-in assembly and the products have a port range from 1/8” to 1.1/2” BSP, catering for flows up to 700 scfm.


The stainless steel pressure regulator and filter/regulator products have metallic parts complying with NACE MR-0175 standard suitable for applications offshore, oil and gas, chemical, food processing, medical and dental environments. These are available in port sizes of 1/4” and 1/2” BSP. Precision filter regulators model 11-4SN are also available for handling instrumentation air supplies. Marsh Bellofram hold adequate stocks of all products at their trade centre in Nottingham, with further information available from:

“Thanks to a constant reduction in energy and water consumption levels of our washers, we have achieved one of the lowest water consumptions rates in the industry. We then do help labs to reduce their environmental impact without any compromise of washing efficiency. This is surely one of our main achievement at Lancer,” said Emmanuel Esther, Export and Marketing Manager at Getinge Lancer in Toulouse.


A durable and effective design ensures a long lifetime and trouble free ownership. With four wash levels and a chamber height of 855mm, Lancer 1600 LXP can handle many different types of loads. A wide range of accessories are available and thanks to adjustable height and interchangeable accessories, loading and handling is easy and user-friendly

Water Testing Medium Meets ISO Criteria


New Sensors for Measurement of Dissolved Oxygen And Lowest Conductivity


With four new electrochemical sensors Hamilton is expanding the possibilities and application areas of the ARC system. ARC is a newly developed technology for process analysis launched in 2010 by Hamilton Bonaduz AG, Switzerland.


The system works with intelligent sensors containing the integrated functions of a transmitter. Now Hamilton has expanded its sensor portfolio with four more electrochemical ARC sensors for use in biotechnology and pharma processes, the


measurement of oxygen traces and measurement with high CO2 partial pressure as well as sensors for monitoring pure water conductivity.


The Oxyferm FDA ARC sensor is designed for electrochemical oxygen measurements in fermentations and pharma processes, the Oxygold G ARC sensor for measurements of low-ppb oxygen traces in aqueous media. Oxygold B


ARC sensor measures low-ppb oxygen traces in beverages containing CO2. For monitoring of pure water quality in industrial processes, the new Condcell PWSE ARC with Triclamp adapter has now been released by Hamilton. It offers a dynamic


measurement range from 0.01 to 2000 µS/cm covering processes in pharmaceutical water generation and power plants.


All Hamilton ARC sensors offer fully compensated intelligent measurement signals with two 4-20mA analogue outputs, digital Modbus interface and wireless transmission using the optional ARC Wi adapter. All new sensors are fully compatible with the existing ARC product family: VISIFERM DO ARC, ARC pH, Conducell ARC, ARC View and ARC Wi.


Users benefit from various advantages of the new technology of the ARC sensors compared to conventional systems in process analysis that work with transmitters. Procurement costs are saved since the ARC sensors already contain the transmitter functions. The installation work is reduced leading to further cost savings, too.


For operations the much easier and more convenient handling during process analysis provides for higher staff productivity. In addition the ARC equipment needs less space. Due to the direct connection to the PC/PLC the system delivers a reliable, robust signal. None of the usual interferences from humidity, cable length or other factors occur. The ARC sensors already contain intelligent functions such as diagnostic, history and calibration data.

Lab M’s new DRCM (ISO) is unique in being the only complete and ISO formulated Differential Reinforced Clostridial Medium on the market. DRCM (ISO) is used for the detection of clostridia spores - used as an indicator of faecal contamination - from water and environmental samples using the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique. It rapidly provides a visual indication of the presence or absence of the target organism.


Part of the company’s highly regarded anaerobe range, this standardised medium is formulated to ISO 26461-1 for the detection and enumeration of the spores of sulphite- reducing anaerobes (Clostridia) in water. Simple to prepare, DRCM (ISO) enables the confident detection and enumeration of the spores of sulphite-reducing anaerobes (clostridia) in just 46 hours.


Widespread in the environment, the spores of sulphite- reducing anaerobes are more resistant than vegetative cells to physical and chemical change, and to chlorination, often surviving in water for long periods. Clostridia spores in particular can be useful indicators of intermittent and remote faecal contamination.

After first heat treating samples to remove vegetative cells, DRCM is used with the Most Probable Number (MPN) method to determine clostridia content per volume of sample. Thanks to the inclusion of iron (III) citrate in the DRCM formulation, blackening of the medium indicates sulphite reduction, highlighting the presence of sulphite- reducing bacteria.
