Partnership with Delaware Technology Park STAR Campus Announced Delaware Technology Park celebrated the opening of its new 10,000 ft2
laboratory incubator located on University of Delaware’s STAR Campus. A wide range of regional leaders
representing government, academia and private industry attended the celebratory event. The new space, called DTP@STAR, is home to twelve promising science-based entrepreneurial companies. DeNovix Inc was acknowledged for laboratory equipment donated to DTP@STAR’s shared services portfolio. Mike Bowman, President of the Delaware Technology Park, and one of leaders that drove the incubator from its inception stated: “As a world-class supplier of speciality instruments, DeNovix is a welcome collaborator for DTP@STAR tenants. Access to state-of-the-art instrumentation enables young companies to grow and scale more quickly.”
“The DeNovix DS-11 FX+ is ideal for installation in a research facility like DTP@STAR. Start-up companies frequently make tough budget choices and often have to use equipment that isn’t fit for their specific needs or that isn’t the latest technology,” said Fred Kielhorn, CEO of DeNovix. “We didn’t want our fellow Delaware-based companies to have to compromise anything about their research and technology commercialisation efforts. Our instrument is easy to learn, extremely sensitive and highly flexible. Since DNA, RNA and protein quantification are core to so many life science workflows, the DS-11 FX+ will help these companies for years to come.”
The well-attended event featured remarks from US Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Jay Williams, US Senator Christopher Coons, Congressman John Carney, Delaware Governor Jack Markell and University of Delaware President Dennis Assanis. During a facility tour, the officials visited the shared services laboratory where the DeNovix instrument is installed.
The patented DeNovix DS-11 FX+ combines absorbance and fluorescence technologies to deliver the most flexible and complete system available for nucleic acid and protein quantification. DeNovix SmartPath®
researchers to measure picogram concentrations of sample with increased specificity in one compact instrument.
The DS-11 FX Series features full Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet connectivity allowing users to easily export data via email, a USB drive, to network drives or network printers, or print cryotube labels with an optional printer. Measurements are made using DeNovix’ highly rated, custom Android™ operating system and a high-resolution, glove-compatible touch screen. Intuitive EasyApps®
configured and custom applications make the DS-11 Series easy to use as well as powerful and flexible.

ICP-MS Provides Industry-Leading Versatility for Trace Elemental Analyses PerkinElmer, Inc have announced the launch of the NexION®
address any interference, and detect any particle size.
High levels of certain toxic elements in the environment or the food supply chain can be harmful to humans, plants and animals. The NexION 2000 ICP-MS system can help detect a broad range of elements at ultra trace levels. High-throughput contract lab professionals (including those for food, environmental and clinical), government and academic labs, QA/QC labs (food and pharmaceutical), and high tech and industrial labs that need elevated performance levels (semiconductor and solar) can use this system for an extensive variety of applications.
“Increasing concerns around food safety, clean water and soil have resulted in tightened industry policies, leaving analytical laboratories tasked with managing an increasing amount of samples, a broad range of sample types, and time-consuming analyses,” said Jim Corbett, Executive Vice President and President, Discovery & Analytical Solutions, PerkinElmer. “The NexION 2000 system is designed to enable our customers to run multi-elemental analyses reliably and efficiently, helping them gain fast and critical insights into important issues and ensure compliance with continually evolving regulations.”
Key features of the NexION 2000 ICP-MS include: highly flexible Universal Cell Technology™ interference removal and choice of three gas channels (the only ICP- MS system that can run pure highly reactive gases such as ammonia), for advanced detection limits; ability to handle harsh matrices and rapid changes in sample composition with minimal prep time; intelligent dilution of samples through integrated All Matrix Solution (‘AMS’) systems and extended dynamic range detector; best-in-class scanning and data acquisition speeds (100,000 points/sec), combined with proprietary software-based algorithms to provide advanced characterisation of nanoparticles and single cells; LumiCoil™ technology: revolutionary, new RF coil requiring no water or gas cooling; an intuitive user interface with pre-loaded methods; ability to leverage built-in methods for drinking water, wastewater, seawater, soil, and medicinal drugs to help with compliance with international regulations and guidelines such as U.S. EPA 6020, EPA 200.8, ISO 17294, USP 232/233 and ICH Q3D.

New Catalysis and Thermal Analysis Product Catalogue Released
Hiden Analytical have released a new catalogue detailing their latest mass spectrometers and micro-reactors for analysis of gaseous thermal processes. The series includes systems for application to process pressures from 5 bar through to ultrahigh vacuum (UHV).
The CATLAB 1000oC micro-reactors with integrated mass spectrometer enable detailed quantification of catalytic and thermal process activity with full control of temperature and temperature ramp, feed gas species selection and flow rate. Additional process data such as sample mass may also be integrated. The TPD Workstation for UHV thermal desorption measurement features a sample heating platform and fast-response high-sensitivity quadrupole mass spectrometer to maximise data accumulation rate, together with a load lock with multiple-sample transfer mechanism to maintain optimum vacuum integrity. The HPR-60 MBMS system with multiple-stage pressure reduction enables measurement of reactive ions and radicals directly from plasma and flame processes at pressures up to 5 bar.
An extensive range of process interfaces enables direct coupling of the Hiden mass spectrometers with user processes including thermal and thermal-gravimetric systems and vacuum furnaces. The unique SPACI-MS interface is developed specifically for in situ analysis within a catalytic monolith for precise performance evaluation.
