Created as a tool to aid researchers in making their jobs easier and more efficient when storing and accessing irreplaceable biological samples, the Wheaton BioBanking Solutions Guide is a comprehensive offering of high quality products and customised services for cryogenic samples and projects. Focusing on the key areas of sample containment, sample traceability, processing tools and batching and storing, the BioBanking Solutions Guide highlights new and innovative products designed and developed specifically for biological sample management. Wheaton products featured include the SingleScan™ Bar Code Reader, a 2D Data Matrix and 1D Linear Bar Code Reader capable of reading coded vials and ampules from a wide range of manufacturers and label printers. Also featured are the CryoELITE®
Cryogenic vials, which boast an unrivaled
cap seal that exceeds DOT and IATA regulations thus ensuring the ultimate protection of samples during transportation and demanding freeze-thaw handling. CryoELITE’s Loctagon™ Vial Skirt provides stability in the freestanding position, providing easy open and close with one hand and the optional 2D Data Matrix Bar Code Insert provides a unique identifier for traceability.
Additional products include the KeepIT® Freezer Boxes, made from Eastman Tritan™, an environmentally friendly, Bisphenol-A (BPA) free, shatter resistant
resin, which offers the convenience of sample storage and scanning capability in one box and the Acura manual 826 XS micropipettes, specifically designed for the precision handling of precious samples in a controlled environment. Additionally, the BioBanking Solutions Guide features technical data, links to relevant industry websites, Best Practices and a series of unique advantages and tips, such as the benefits of using the unique Wheaton colour-coding system for managing your samples and projects. “Biospecimens are so critical in today’s research that we are directing our skills as a company to designing and developing innovative solutions to support the research community,” said Stephen R. Drozdow, President of Wheaton. “Scientists often spend their lives searching for answers, and we are honoured to be trusted to hold their life’s work in our sample management solutions,” he added.

Warner Instruments is pleased to introduce the new OTS 5000 Automatic Oscillating Tissue Slicer, the solution for sectioning fixed or fresh tissue. Engineered for maximum stability, the OTS 5000 slicer head minimises Z-Axis vibration, allowing for even the most delicate tissue to be cut successfully every time.
The OTS-5000 features a user programmable cutting window to minimise time between harvesting consecutive slices, allowing the section-cutting range of the blade to be customised to the specimen sample. Section samples in two different modes: Slice one section at a time, altering tissue thickness between manually triggered passes. Or, automatically perform multiple uniform slices.
The OTS-5000 is also available with a Refrigerated Controller and Tray to maintain tissue temperature between 0-10°C.

Thermal Microreactor has a new View
schuett count manual colony counter Facilitates counting of Petri dishes
The most time-consuming part of colony counting is the evaluation of Petri dishes. The schuett count manual colony counter facilitates this work considerably and is an essential support in the microbiological lab. The counter was designed for reliable and efficient counting of bacterial colonies and bacteriophage plaques growing on agar or nutrient disks in Petri dishes with a diameter from 50 up to 150mm.
State-of-the-art LED-lighting technology provides illumination, without heat generation, that is absolutely glare-free. schuett count offers three modes of illumination: from below, from the side or from the top (optional). The lighting intensity is continuously adjustable according to the lab environment. It optimises the detection of mixed cultures with different colours in one Petri dish.
By marking the colonies with a felt-tip marker pen on the Petri dish, the counting impulse is realised. Pressure sensitivity of counting plate and the buzzer volume are easily adjustable. The counting result is immediately shown on a 4-digit LED-display. Sample series or surveys may be evaluated with the schuett count colony counter, the average is calculated at the push of a button and can be transferred directly to the PC via USB-interface.

The Hiden CATLAB thermal microreactor system is just released with the new CATsoft LabVIEWbased operating program to further optimise and simplify operation in both Quality Control and R&D applications. Designed for precise characterisation of catalytic and of general thermal reaction studies, the system features a 1000o
C fast
response furnace with integrated mass spectrometer and is fully programmable for both automated and manual operation with the CATsoft program controlling furnace temperature and ramp rate, gas stream selection and flow rates from up to eight gas streams, mass spectrometer function and data processing.
The benchtop CATLAB integrated system is uniquely manufactured by a single company with in excess of 20 years proven expertise in both thermal analysis and in mass spectrometry.
Circle no. 193 ADVERTORIAL This can’t be true - The new schuett phoenix II
Safety Bunsen Burner speaks your language The schuett phoenix II Safety Bunsen Burner manufactured by schuett-biotec GmbH is the first burner equipped with a highlighted colour display and thereby satisfies the customer’s convenience and safety requirements to 100%. Easy menu navigation as well as settings, remarks and warning information which will be displayed in more than 10 international languages making the work with this Safety Burner as simple and safe as never before.
The new sense of flaming: After three generations of Gas-Safety Burners made by schuett-biotec with traditionally high-quality safety features, now the schuett phoenix II with its modern and fresh design, novel joystick navigation and unique ‘Click-Stop’-gas/air regulation is launched. The user may choose between sensor, hand or foot mode. Comfortably the device may be connected to natural gas (central gas line) or propane/butane gas (variety of cartridges). A large range of accessories meets all customer requirements.
Three models of schuett phoenix II are available: eco, standard and accu.
For mobile operation, the schuett phoenix II accu without any cables or hoses allows for up to 30 hours performance thanks to its high-power battery.
Conclusion: A premium product with highest certified safety standards. Circle no. 194
schuett colonyQuant automated colony counter Relax while counting colonies
The schuett colonyQuant automated colony counter has been designed for daily needs in modern microbiological labs. The system acquires images and counts the colonies at the push of a button. The user-friendly software is able to count within seconds up to 1,000 colonies on a Petri dish.
Colonies may be distinguished according to their colour, shape and size. One unique feature of schuett colonyQuant is the rapid change of methods - from counting Petri dishes with various agar types to evaluation of nutrient disks, spiral plating and inhibition zone analysis. Mixed cultures may be evaluated separately with up to 8 colours simultaneously. It easily analyses poured agar plates that vary in thickness or have an uneven surface or are poured slightly inclined.
The new version of automated colony counter series, the schuett colonyQuant HD, has been specially designed for Quality Control in water industries. It provides a camera with high definition (HD) resolution for analysing very small colonies of min. 0.05mm diameter. The traditional system with VGA-camera will analyse colonies from 0.1mm diameter. LED-technology puts the samples in high-contrast and colour fidelity lighting. Both systems include a UV-light source that is able to identify and to count fluorescent colonies like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Use the full functionality: The original and the evaluated image will be stored and may be reported digitally with all relevant data of the analysis for printing and re-opening at any time for re-evaluation. All sample relevant settings, including the camera zoom function, are stored in the user profile. The GLP-conform schuett colonyQuant automated colony counter is portable and requires only little space on your workbench.
