Compact and Lightweight Flowmeters


Titan Enterprises Oval Gear (OG) fl owmeters provide an ideal solution for applications that require a highly accurate, compact and lightweight fl ow measurement device. Recent applications that have benefi ted from Titan lightweight oval gear fl owmeters includes monitoring hydraulic fl uids at the end of a robot arm, measuring sulphite spraying in a vineyard and for medical dosing.


To monitor hydraulic oil fl ow to a miniature press tool on the end of a robot arm, the fl ow meter needed to be light and able to withstand 2G shock, 10,000 times a day. Based upon their OG2 fl ow meter, Titan produced an oval gear positive displacement unit, providing a pulse output over a fl ow range of from 0.03 to 4.0 litre per minute, using oval gears in PEEK and a lightweight aluminium CNC machined body. The whole unit weighed less than 100 grammes, as required for use on a fast moving robot arm, but was still capable of measuring oil fl ow to better than 0.5%.


The second ‘vineyard’ application required a robust, yet lightweight, fl ow meter for use on handheld portable equipment. Based upon their OG2 design, Titan produced a special thin walled stainless steel body, battery powered fl ow totaliser to provide accurate sulphite dosing to help control wine fermentation. Similar lightweight OG2 fl ow meter systems have been supplied for medical dosing applications.


29611pr@reply-direct.com New Compact Automatic Distillation Unit


Anton Paar has launched the new ADU 5 automatic distillation unit, a fully automated, compact stand-alone distillation unit which is operated by touchscreen interface. This makes it the ideal solution for performing high-precision atmospheric distillation tests.


The complete ready-to-go system occupies only a minimum amount of laboratory bench space and masters with ease all standard fuel distillation test measurements. In addition, it comes ready for the determination of biodiesel and ethanol-blended gasoline, and prepared for automatic dry point detection. Testing and results are in full compliance with ASTM D86 (Group 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), D1078, D850, ISO 3405, IP 123, IP 195.


ADU 5 meets the highest safety standard in its class and the requirements of the latest version of ASTM D86. It features an automatic fi re-extinguishing system that can be connected to N2


or CO2


ADU 5 comes with a completely new user interface that can be fully adapted to user preferences. It makes the handling of this important test as easy as possible.


The excellent heat control of ADU 5 guarantees an optimum standardised distillation rate even for complicated mixtures. Thanks to the excellent temperature stability of the receiving chamber, an automatic correction of the results to standard pressure and perfect distillation rate control, ADU 5 guarantees highly accurate results to ensure outstanding repeatability and reproducibility.

liquid prevent overheating of the unit that is equipped with an integrated cooling system. The password management system guarantees selective access areas.


Launch of New qPCR Assistant Software


Gilson is pleased to announce the launch of the new qPCR Assistant software that reduces the hands-on sample preparation burden for researchers running PCR and qPCR experiments in translational science and other research areas.


With the increasing need for biomarker validation using qPCR and PCR techniques across a variety of biological samples, researchers are seeking new ways to maximise qPCR sample preparation accuracy and reproducibility, eliminate inherent variability and minimise sources of contamination. The qPCR Assistant is a workfl ow-focused solution, based on the recently introduced PIPETMAX automated ‘lab assistant’ pipetting station. Developed by molecular biologists, it puts molecular biologists in the driver’s seat by combining an intuitive user interface and versatile qPCR- focused design of experiment workfl ow with a familiar Gilson PIPETMAN-inside accurate automated ‘lab assistant’.


Cutting and Grinding of Tough Materials


Retsch have extended their range of cutting mills by a new model which combines powerful size reduction with very easy handling. The new cutting mill SM 300 can be perfectly adapted to many different, and also diffi cult, size reduction tasks thanks to the variable speed from 700 to 3,000 rpm. The powerful 3 kW drive with RES technology and a high torque ensure excellent grinding results so that even heterogeneous sample mixtures are no longer a problem. Another advantage of the SM 300 is the easy access to the grinding chamber for cleaning: the hopper is simply folded back and the push-fi t rotor can be removed without tools. This only takes a few seconds.


The cutting mill SM 300 can be equipped with a wide range of accessories, among them a cyclone- suction-combination.


The Retsch cutting mill family is completed by the versatile standard model SM 200 and the budget- priced basic model SM 100.

“I created a qPCR experiment from scratch in minutes with PIPETMAX qPCR Assistant, without having to know any details about liquid handling. The PIPETMAX qPCR Assistant also instructed me on the labware positions, how and what to prepare for each run, and exported a template fi le for my thermocycler, which made the whole process of creating and running the protocol very time effi cient. The optimised qPCR plate setup enabled method and pipetting effi ciency and the method traceability provides the reassurance of reproducible results,” said David Dobnik, PhD, GMO detection lab, Department of Systems Biology and Biotechnology, National Institute of Biology, Ljubljana, Slovenia.


The qPCR Assistant software also generates a traceability output report that provides the experimental design details and plate locations for the thermocycler. Repeating, qPCR experiments, is simplifi ed with a drop-down menu and selecting your previously designed method. In addition, the traceability provides an added level of electronic security helping to eliminate manual errors, maximising reproducibility and further saving the researcher time.


Whether managing 10s or 100s of samples, in an individual lab or across many collaborative sites, the qPCR Assistant software and PIPETMAX solution transforms qPCR experiment effi ciency and reproducibility.
