39 Versatile Handheld Vacuum Tweezers Integra Biosciences has announced PIPETBOY vacuum tweezers, a handheld suction device for manipulating small or delicate items that cannot be touched.
Designed as a low cost accessory for the popular PIPETBOY pipettor, the new vacuum tweezers allow users to pick up, move, and position small, delicate, and hard to hold objects that weigh up to 50g (1¾ oz). Benefiting from an ergonomic, lightweight and easy to use design, PIPETBOY vacuum tweezers allow safe, fatigue-free operation.
Supplied with a set of interchangeable suction nozzles, PIPETBOY vacuum tweezers are the perfect tool for handling a wide variety of items including microscope slides, cover slips, optics, small mechanical parts, electronic components and biological specimens. Uses include assembly or handling of items where contamination by finger oils must be avoided or for parts that are so small that conventional mechanical tweezers may cause loss or damage of parts.
Integra Biosciences is promoting the launch of this exciting new product by giving the first 100 vacuum tweezers accessories away for free. Integra Biosciences PIPETBOY pipettor range sets a high benchmark for ease-of-use, reliability, build quality and performance. Each PIPETBOY pipettor can be used with plastic or glass pipettes with volumes of 1-100ml. Precise and reliable pipetting is simply achieved by applying varying finger pressure to the operating buttons and by adjusting the pump speed. The PIPETBOY is powered by a high-performance NiMH battery that alerts you when it needs recharging. To avoid internal contamination, a hydrophobic filter blocks accidentally aspirated liquids before entering the pipettor. The PIPETBOY comes in several different colours that you can assign to a particular application, user etc. thereby avoiding mix-ups.

Superior Sample Prep for Next-Generation Sequencing
ADVERTORIAL
Recirculating Chillers Provide Dependable and Efficient Heat Removal
Fluidigm Europe has announced a new integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) – called the Access Array - specifically designed to support high-throughput re-sequencing, targeted enrichment, sample barcoding, and library preparation for sequencing using amplicon tagging. The Access Array IFC complements Fluidigm’s SlingShot™ Sample Quantitation Kit that together provide researchers with a complete front-end Next-Gen Library preparation solution.
Fluidigm’s new Access Array is the first IFC that features the ability to harvest the sample out of the chip. Once the sample processing has been completed in the chip it automatically returns the sample to the inlets where they can be easily extracted and placed into a quantitation step and readied for sequencing.
Fluidigm also announced an Early Access Programme For Access Arrays where researchers can submit a proposal describing how the new chip would help their next- generation library sample preparation efforts. Winners will have Fluidigm ‘do the work for them’ for free.
The Access Array System, which consists of IFCs, instruments and software, is the first IFC product that allows next-generation sequencing users to automatically prepare their libraries and tag them with unique barcodes to allow multiplex sequencing.
Up-to-now, large sample studies have been too expensive and labour-intensive to be performed on next generation sequencers effectively and efficiently. Fluidigm’s Access Array System allows researchers to target specific areas of interest to be enriched and barcoded so that a large number of samples can be sequenced at the same time.
Fluidigm’s new Access Array IFC can process 48 samples against 48 amplicons (primer pairs) providing 2,304 independent reactions at a time. Only six steps are required to get the results from these thousands of experiments. Because of the Access Array chip’s ultra-tiny microfluidic reaction chambers the chip minimises reagent consumption and costs. Operator time is reduced six-fold when compared with conventional methods.
