Single System Provides Pure and Ultrapure Water Conveniently and Economically


Millipore Corporation has introduced the Milli-Q Direct system, the latest addition to the company’s range of Milli-Q lab water purification systems.The new system was designed to respond to the scientific community’s need for an economical, single-source solution producing pure and ultrapure water from tap. The Milli-Q Direct system provides optimum water production, with water quality that exceeds the requirements of the most demanding norms. Milli-Q Direct users are assured of having convenient and versatile water delivery: water can be dispensed either manually or automatically, at low or high flow rate. Additionally, a range of Application Pak final filters makes it possible to adapt the Milli-Q Direct system to the user’s specific application(s) by adding a BioPak®


, VOC-Pak™, EDS-Pak® , LC-Pak™ or Millipak® polisher. The


system’s low footprint will also help lab managers save on space - the Milli-Q Direct can be bench- or wall-installed to ensure the best fit with their existing laboratory configurations. Simplified procedures make maintenance for the system minimal, and an RFID tag ensures quick and easy traceability for consumables.

World’s First User Calibrated Analytical Syringe


Electronic Pipettor Offers Affordable and Flexible Sample Handling


Available with six, eight or twelve channels the new Voyager™ electronic pipettors from Integra feature a revolutionary mechanism that alters tip spacing at the press of a button. Voyager incorporates a small motor that moves the centre-to-centre tip spacing quickly and smoothly at any point in a protocol, all with one hand. Users can preset up to three distinct tip spacings to accommodate almost any labware vessels. Voyager Tip spacing is adjustable from 4.5mm to 19.5mm.


All Voyager pipettors share the same easy-to-use Touch Wheel™ controller from the award winning Viaflo®


pipettors, with intuitive NLG Analytical supplied SGE’s new eVOL® hand-held


automated analytical syringe, launched in January 2010. The new syringe couples two precision devices: a digitally controlled electronic drive and an XCHANGE®


enabled analytical syringe. The result is a


digitally controlled positive displacement dispensing system that can be programmed to repeatedly and accurately perform a wide variety of liquid handling procedures. eVol®


is designed to improve laboratory


workflow and reporting confidence in many ways, including: the programmable digital drive means liquid handling procedures are user-independent, allowing more efficient workflow scheduling and a reduction in the re-analysis of incorrectly processed or false positive samples; and XCHANGE®


analytical syringes can be


easily and quickly changed allowing them to be dedicated to individual liquids, and methods, to prevent possible cross-contamination of reagents.


is the perfect solution for accurately aspirating and dispensing both aqueous and non-aqueous liquids. eVol®


Unlike air-displacement devices such as pipettors, eVol®


is designed for ease of use, featuring a familiar touch-wheel user interface and a full-colour screen. The clever menu allows all the functions to be accessed logically and quickly, and programming functions are intuitive – with help screens and prompts. To comply with stringent laboratory standards such as GLP, GMP, FDA eVol®


can be easily


calibrated to ensure accurate dispensing at all times. The gravimetric calibration procedure is simple, intuitive and can be performed at appropriate intervals. Calibration factors can be stored for up to 10 XCHANGE®


syringes and can be quickly loaded


when the syringe is changed. Typical applications for eVol®


addition of internal standards; precise dispensing of non-aqueous liquids; and sample dilution. Only three XCHANGE®


syringes are required to dispense liquid volumes covering the range from 200 nL to 500 µL. Circle no. 396 include: preparation of calibration standards;


Liquid Handling Company Launches New Corporate Brand


Following its recent merger with the Viaflo Corporation - Integra Biosciences AG has announced that from 1st January 2010 the companies will adopt the new corporate brand – Integra.


Elmar Morscher, CEO of Integra Biosciences recently stated, “The recent merger between Integra


Biosciences AG of Switzerland and Viaflo Corporation of the US has created a strong corporate entity that develops, manufactures, sells and services a wide variety of innovative laboratory products to over ninety countries. The focal point of the combined worldwide business is liquid handling solutions; both represented as instrumentation and consumables designed primarily for the life sciences marketplace.”


To introduce the new Integra brand – a new website incorporating the complete range of Integra Biosciences AG and Viaflo products has been launched. Located at www.integra-biosciences.com the site uses a design format that is rapidly downloaded by web search engines and provides visitors with direct access to a major source of valuable information and news.

PIPETBOY pro Enlightened pipetting


The white LED light integrated in the PIPETBOY pro optimally illumi- nates the area around the pipette preventing eyestrain and pipetting mistakes. The excellent flow control of the PIPETBOY pro combined with its fast new pump guarantee accurate and efficient liquid handling with all types of serological pipettes. PIPETBOY pro – a new pipetting experience!


See how the LED lighting can improve your pipetting on www.pipetboy.info


programming and the industry’s first full-colour display. Also, all Voyager pipettors are designed to utilise Viaflo Griptips. As a result, individuals can pipette without ever having a tip loosen and leak or fall off. A total of eight Voyager models are now available in volume ranges from 0.5ul to 1250ul. This unique product now allows users to easy work between 24, 48, 96, 384 cell culture and assay plates, tube racks, sample storage gel electrophoresis boxes and many additional labware formats.
