Say Goodbye to Repetitive Capping Strain Test Tube Capper from Bel-Art Products, users can use their entire
Repetitive capping of test tubes can cause soreness and fatigue of the hands and fingers. With the Scienceware®
arm for leverage, reducing finger soreness and hand stress.
A vinyl covered handhold fits comfortably in the palm of the hand while a polypropylene tip presses down on the cap to securely position it within the test tube.
“Users can quickly cap rows of test tubes when lined up in a rack, or single tubes can be capped while held in the opposite hand,” according to Lenny Hernandez, Product Manager for Bel-Art Products. “This unique tool makes life in the lab more pleasant by making a repetitive task easier to accomplish.”
The Scienceware® Test Tube Capper is designed for use with recessed centre test tube caps. Capping can be performed on glass or plastic test tubes. Circle no. 388 ADVERTORIAL
New 96-Channel Handheld Electronic Pipette The Integra VIAFLO 96 is a new
96-channel electronic pipette that enables fast, precise and easy simultaneous transfer of 96 samples. The VIAFLO 96 has been designed to be used just like a standard handheld pipette. Therefore, no special skills or training are required to operate it. The VIAFLO 96 features the company’s popular Touch Wheel™ pipette user interface enabling simple and fast programming of a wide range of pipetting modes including repeat dispense, serial dilute and sample dilute.
Customers will immediately benefit from the increased productivity delivered by their VIAFLO 96. Fast replication or reformatting of 96 and 384 well plates and high precision transferring of reagents, compounds and solutions to or from microplates is now as easy as pipetting with a standard electronic pipette into a single tube. Four pipetting heads with pipetting volumes up to 12.5 µl, 125 µl, 300 µl or 1250 µl are available for the VIAFLO 96. These pipetting heads are interchangeable within seconds enabling optimal matching of the available volume range to the application performed. The VIAFLO 96 uses VIAFLO GripTips which provide a perfect seal every time and won't fall off during use. These tips can also be used for other VIAFLO electronic pipettes.
The unique combination of features provided by the VIAFLO 96 will not only increase your productivity but also facilitate accurate delivery of liquids to target vessels, reduce cross contamination, lower operating fatigue and provide consistent results.
New Solvent Free Parasite Faecal Concentration System
An advanced sample centrifugal preparation filtration removing the need for solvents has been developed by DiaSys Ltd. The array enables laboratories to prepare for parasitic examination in a rapid enclosed system with only the use of Formalin and emulsification reagents. The device is delivered with ready to use preloaded and all that is required is Faecal sample addition and a short centrifugal step to separate the parasites from the stool sample.
The procedure is performed in under five minutes and is ready for microscopic examination directly.
A prominent Consultant Parasitologist, said: “The New Parasep SF is a true breakthrough in the field of parasite diagnosis.”
Having developed the device, Diasys Ltd asked the Consultant to trial the product – with excellent results - a separate paper can be viewed on the subject online.

Peristaltic Pump Simplifies Challenging Liquid Handling Tasks Integra has launched a
new version of its popular DOSE IT peristaltic pump with enhanced functionality enabling laboratories to now undertake even challenging liquid handling tasks.
Some liquid handling
applications require more than just simple pumping. The new DOSE IT ‘CUSTOMISE’ software mode allows users to create their own personalised liquid handling protocols. Up to 20 consecutive dispensing and aspirating steps can be defined. A wide range of settable parameters, such as volume, flow rate and repetitions, can be assigned to each step. In addition, the flow rate can be set to ramp up or down to the target speed, thus avoiding foaming, splashing or unwanted turbulences during dispensing. Applications that have benefited from the new DOSE IT customise mode include gentle filling of density gradient tubes by slowly increasing the flow rate, coating Petri dishes by adding and removing coating solution and preparing serial dilutions by having an air gap between sample and the diluent, to mention but a few.
DOSE IT is an intuitive programmable peristaltic pump that simplifies the dispensing of cell culture media, buffers and other solutions for volumes ranging from 0.1ml to 2500ml. DOSE It features a very small footprint and weighs only 3.5kg making it a perfect device for bench-top or in-hood dispensing applications. Programming the DOSE IT is fast and easy through a multilingual user interface
