58 Gloves off for Anaerobic Innovation
Don Whitley Scientific introduces the Whitley A35 Anaerobic workstation – the first to feature a revolutionary new porthole system for bare handed working. Built on 30 years experience, the unique design makes sample manipulation within a secure anaerobic environment as easy as working aerobically on the laboratory bench. The sleeveless format also uses eight times less gas when entering the workstation compared to conventional portholes.
Workstation parameters, including dual gas operation, are controlled through the intuitive touchscreen interface. The built-in
airlock allows rapid transfer of up to 40 Petri dishes in 60 seconds and by maximising the incubation capacity of the A35, the perfect environment can be created for hundreds of plates within a relatively small footprint. Although ideal for laboratories with limited work areas, a custom-made trolley is also available to completely free up bench space and allow easy movement of the workstation.
Don Whitley Scientific understands that clinical and research applications require different configurations of workstation – a range of options is available to tailor the A35 as required. These include a 15cm letterbox, ideal for quickly transferring small items, as well as a completely removable front to allow thorough cleaning between experiments, bulk sample transfer or introduction of large equipment. Should electrical equipment be required within the workstation, the A35 can also be fitted with an interior electrical socket. Workstation installation, scheduled maintenance and technical support are provided through Don Whitley Scientific’s network of highly-skilled engineers.

Re-Sealable Tubes in New Size Re-sealable plastic tubes of P-80®
Temporary Rubber Assembly
Lubricants are now available from International Products Corporation (IPC) in the new 10ml size and will be sold in cases of 100. The new tubes feature heat-sealed tips, which will prevent leaks during shipping and keep material fresh until it is used.
In addition to being useful for field service, the re-sealable plastic tubes offer seal distributors and other rubber component manufacturers a convenient way to be certain their clients use the proper lubrication for installing their parts or seals.
P-80®
lubricants provide temporary lubrication that eases assembly of tight-fitting parts such as o-rings, hoses, seals, grommets, bushings, grips and many other parts. By reducing the force needed for assembly, P-80®

Ultra-Sensitive System for Allergy Testing
Agilent Technologies, Inc announced the availability of the HYCOR Ultra-Sensitive EIA System for allergen-specific IgE. The HYCOR Ultra-Sensitive EIA System is FDA-cleared for quantitative determination of specific IgE. Using a unique assay design, the system provides quantitative specific IgE detection with testing capacity sized for moderate to higher-volume labs. Based on proven technology, the system combines quantitative accuracy, precision and sensitivity with fully automated robotics to deliver a new level of performance and productivity, and has been designed to offer laboratories an overall cost-per-test advantage over alternative methods.
"HYCOR has a tradition of providing high-quality allergy testing systems that enable labs to provide physicians with accurate results in a way that is cost effective," said Skip Thune, HYCOR's General Manager. "The new system has the throughput capacity to allow us to offer the HYCOR cost-effective specific IgE testing solution to larger allergy testing customers that our other systems were too small to properly address. It also sets a new standard for reliable measurement of low levels of specific IgE."
The new system combines the precision and accuracy of fully automated robotic reagent dispensing with a newly formulated high-sensitivity assay design resulting in superior test performance. A complete menu of clinically important allergens is available with the system and it is QSR, ISO 13485, ISO 9001 and CLSI compliant. The HYCOR Ultra-Sensitive EIA System expands HYCOR's portfolio of solutions for allergy testing that already includes the HYTEC 288 Plus.
The HYTEC 288 Plus is a fully automated immunoassay system for the performance of allergy and autoimmune antibody testing, and for user-defined ELISA commercial or laboratory developed assays. The Ultra-Sensitive EIA System is available globally and the menu of assays used with the HYTEC 288 system is compatible with the new system.
