72 Compact Lift Stages for High Accuracy Vertical Motion Control
Compact new MPS-SV lift stages from Aerotech deliver high performance elevation motion control for both laboratory research and high reliability production processes. The series includes two sizes (as small as 210 mm long x 52.4 mm wide x 38 mm high) and a choice of DC servomotor with rotary encoder or stepper motor. All MPS-SV stages feature a precision-ground ball screw and preloaded crossed-roller bearings. This provides smooth and accurate geometric performance, high accuracy and repeatability and 0.05 µm minimum incremental motion. There is also a lead-screw drive option for more cost-sensitive applications. All drive train mechanics are designed for high reliability and extended service life. MPS-SV stages are available with vacuum preparation to 10-6 Torr that includes a vacuum-rated connector. An optional mounting plate provides direct mounting to both English and metric optical breadboards. A multitude of adapter brackets and mounting compatibility inherent in the entire MPS stage family allow easy assembly of multi-axis stage configurations. Aerotech is a leading global supplier of positioning and motion control products for industry, government, science and research institutions. Its products provide critical performance for demanding applications requiring high precision, high-throughput motion control solutions.

dsDNA System for Sensitive Add-and-Read DNA Quantitation Introduced Promega Corporation announced today the launch of the QuantiFluor®
system is integrated into the new Promega Quantus™ Fluorometer and GloMax® and emission spectra.
ONE dsDNA System, a sensitive, dsDNA-specific fluorescent dye suitable for use in both research and clinical workflows. The new dye detection instruments, but is compatible with any fluorometer capable of measuring the appropriate fluorescence excitation
The QuantiFluor ONE dsDNA System is supplied in ‘add-and-read’ format, enabling users to simply quantitate even low concentration samples with confidence, and without dilutions or additional tubes. The dye system has significantly increased sensitivity compared to absorbance based systems and is highly specific to dsDNA, showing minimal binding to ssDNA, RNA, protein and interfering compounds.
The QuantiFluor ONE dsDNA System expands the company’s range of nucleic acid quantitation reagents and instrumentation, which includes the recently launched Quantus Fluorometer for highly sensitive (up to 40,000x higher than absorbance-based methods) quantitation of dsDNA, ssDNA, and RNA. Quantus’ increased sensitivity and range leads to higher success rates in downstream applications such as PCR cloning, transfection and next-generation sequencing. Quantus is also the ideal solution when working with samples such as FFPE tissue which contain low levels of nucleic acid, enabling users to move on to downstream detection assays knowing that DNA or RNA is present.
Other dyes for use with Quantus include dsDNA System, ssDNA System, and RNA System. Quantus is optimised for use with QuantiFluor Dyes, but is also compatible with other fluorescent quantitation dyes.

ADVERTORIAL Transforming Data into Smart Data: From the Cloud to Mobile Devices,
Utilising New Technologies To Improve Knowledge Sharing Our research shows that the on-going economic recession and an increase in global competition means that whether developing new drugs, cosmetics, food, beverages or chemicals, companies are under constant pressure to increase productivity whilst cutting costs, streamline their organisation, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.
Combined with the challenges of working with external parties, big data and an upsurge in M&A, lab environments are under more scrutiny than ever before and data standardisation and integration is all the more difficult.
Through real-life case studies, round-table discussions and practical workshops, the 2014 SmartLab Exchange will help industry practitioners find ways to implement new technologies to improve efficiency and manage the exponential increase of big data.
The SmartLab Exchange is an invitation-only forum where 60 Heads of R&D, QA/QC and senior Laboratory Informatics professionals from the food & beverage, consumer goods, cosmetics, chemicals, pharmaceutical and biotech industries meet to share ideas and best practices.
During the Exchange, attendees will discover the future trends of the lab informatics market from Michael Shanler, Research Director at Gartner; find out the successes and challenges that Northern Ireland Water faced when becoming a paperless lab; share best practices with the Head of Research Data Operations at Bayer Crop Science on how to work together with third parties and effectively exchange data; join a round-table discussion led by John Wise, Executive Director at Pistoia Alliance on how to integrate mobile devices in lab projects; and learn how Procter & Gamble are turning big data into business intelligence.
The Smartlab Exchange, along with strategic media partner International Labmate, invite you to attend the Exchange in Munich, February 25 – 26.
Invitations are limited and going fast, please contact us on +44 (0)207 368 9484, send an email to
exchangeinfo@iqpc.com or visit www.
smartlabexchange.com/labmate for information on how you can join the industry’s most progressive leaders in discussing the future of laboratory informatics. See you there.
