17 Touch the Future of Gel and Blot Imaging UVP, LLC announces the release of the new ChemiDoc-It® TS2 Imager. The new integrated touch screen and user-friendly capture software simplify workflow for imaging of
chemiluminescent, fluorescent, colorimetric and multiplex gels and blots. Users can simply click the Live Preview button to immediately see an image sample. The exposure, aperture, zoom and focus can be adjusted using the convenient touch screen control panel. All settings are clearly displayed on the screen. The built-in computer creates a networkable, stand-alone system allowing users to save images to a USB stick or to a remote computer for further analysis or documentation.
Users of the new ChemiDoc-ItTS2 can: optimise gel and chemiluminescent blot imaging with the highly sensitive 8.1 megapixel resolution, cooled CCD camera; view low light samples in the light-tight darkroom creating an optimum environment for viewing chemiluminescent blots; and select components as required for specific applications. The modular design allows selection of UV transilluminator, emission filters, LED white light plate and UV modules.
According to Mike Capps, UVP Marketing Product Manager: "The introduction of the all-new ChemiDoc-It TS2 marks a new generation of simplicity and imaging control for researchers. The Imager successfully combines a powerful, integrated touch screen software interface into an easy-to-use plug and play unit. The image acquisition functions are presented in a straightforward and efficient workflow format allowing the user to spend less time hassling with equipment and more time conducting research and analysis." The new ChemiDoc-It TS2 with the integrated all-in-one computer and touch screen enables users to quickly capture high-resolution gel and blot images.

New Distributed Temperature Sensor
Speed-Up Your Daily Liquid Handling Applications
Integra has produced two new informative videos that demonstrate how its new generation of innovative electronic pipetting tools bridge the gap between traditional handheld pipettes and large robotic systems. The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO Voyager deliver to you a higher level of productivity without the cost or training associated with fully automated liquid handling systems.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces the release of the DTSX200 distributed temperature sensor (DTS): the world’s first distributed temperature sensor for oil/gas and industrial production operations developed by a production control systems manufacturer.
The DTSX200 is designed to monitor temperature and flow in oil/gas upstream unconventional and conventional in-well applications, LNG and refinery tank and pipelines as well as for leak detection, fire detection, and other thermal monitoring applications.
With the DTSX200, Yokogawa has developed a product for control applications that uses the optical measurement technologies the company has acquired over the years in the measurement field. This product can be used in extreme temperature environments like the desert and arctic locations, and in both onshore and offshore applications.
Yokogawa is the first production control system manufacturer to develop such a distributed temperature sensor for use in oil/gas upstream production and other industrial applications. The DTSX200 is already being evaluated for use in oil/gas in-well production by Yokogawa’s customers, and more on-site testing is planned. With the DTSX200 distributed temperature sensor, Yokogawa can offer an even more comprehensive set of solutions ranging from temperature monitoring to production control that help improve production operation efficiency.
Product features include: works together with production control systems - the DTSX200 is optimised to work smoothly with the production control systems that oil and gas developers use in their operations. The DTSX200 thus helps to improve the efficiency of production processes, from temperature measurement to production control; suitable for use in extreme temperatures - with the ability to have stable operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C, the DTSX200 is ideal for use in harsh environments. Moreover, with its low power consumption of 16W or less, it can be easily powered by a solar panel and battery if no other power source is available; and it’s the most compact sensor on the market - the DTSX200 is just one quarter the size of the AQ8920, and, based on a Yokogawa market survey, is the smallest such product available today. A compact optical switch module for selecting monitoring points (up to 16 channels) is available for rack mounting with the sensor.

The VIAFLO 96* is the first handheld electronic pipette which allows simultaneous transfers of 96 samples; there is no easier or faster tool for liquid transfers between 96- and 384-well microplates. The intuitive user interface allows you to dispense to well plates in only seconds without needing to set up complex programs. With the choice of four interchangeable pipetting heads, it allows you to accurately pipette volumes from 0.5 to 1250 microlitres. Typical applications include replication of plates, compressing 96-well plates into a 384-well format, dispensing buffers / master mixes, exchanging culture media and simultaneously starting / stopping 96 reactions.
The VIAFLO Voyager** is the first electronic pipette featuring an automatic mechanism to alter the tip spacing with the press of a button. The VIAFLO Voyager allows you to transfer multiple samples in one go instead of going back and forth with your single channel pipette repeatedly. This not only saves time, but also minimises the risk of pipetting errors. The tip spacing is freely adjustable and thus helps you to accelerate sample transfers between virtually any lab ware formats including 24-, 48-, 96- and 384- well plates as well as tube racks and SDS / agarose gels.
Circle no. 359 Disposable Reagent Reservoirs with
Clearly Visible Volume Markings Integra have announced a new disposable reagent reservoir system that combines low-cost, stackable, crystal clear polystyrene reservoirs with clearly marked, graduated and reusable bases.
The reagent reservoir inserts have
been designed to be stackable, making it possible for the reservoirs to be stored in half the space compared to alternative designs. Integra VIAFLO reservoirs are both economically and environmentally friendly because users can reuse the reservoir base and only have to dispose of the reservoir inserts.
Since the volume graduations are permanently marked on the inside of the base rather than moulded into the reservoir body, users can accurately gauge the amount of fluid being poured into the reservoir and virtually eliminate reagent waste. The unique design of the 25ml and 100ml reagent reservoir also allows graduations below the surface of the liquid to become invisible, further enhancing the visibility of the selected volume line.
Pour-back spouts moulded into the corners of each reagent reservoir help control liquid flow and enable easy, spill-free return of excess reagent into its original container. The product base accommodates two reservoirs, one acting as a lid to allow short term reagent storage while preventing evaporation or contamination from particulates. Convenient EZ Peel paper lids ensure sterility without the expense or waste of an extra individually bagged reservoir lid.
