Increasing the Safety of Biological Liquid Waste Disposal
Integra has launched new single-use waste collection bottles for its VACUSIP benchtop aspiration system, a compact, portable solution for safe and convenient disposal of small volumes of biological liquid waste.
The introduction of new disposable bottles allows VACUSIP users to go one step further in terms of operational safety and reducing the cost of handling / disposal of biohazardous substances. Made of heavy duty polypropylene, the new single-use collection bottle is shatterproof and vacuum resistant,
eliminating risks of breakage and contamination by the biological agents during manipulation.
Benefiting from a compact design enables all manipulation, aspiration and liquid waste collection steps using a VACUSIP to be carried out inside a biosafety cabinet, reducing risks of human and environmental contamination by manipulated biohazard agents. A wide range of adapters are available enabling easy aspiration of liquid from almost any labware including small centrifuges tubes, microplates or flasks. When full, the collection bottle is simply disconnected from the VACUSIP system and securely sealed with the supplied lid.
After decontamination of the bottle surface, the liquid waste can be simply and safely transferred to a licensed company for correct destruction of the biohazardous substances. Using the new VACUSIP single-use waste collection bottles therefore not only reduces biohazard handling risks but also eliminates the need, and considerable cost, of maintaining an in-house waste disposal facility.

High-Performance Photometer for Clinical and Chemical Analysis of Liquid Solutions
Founded in 1935, ZOMZ (JSC “Zagorsk Optical and Mechanical Plant”) designs and manufactures optical based products for a range of industries.
The company is one of the oldest and well- known manufacturers in Russia of top- of-the-line laboratory equipment intended for industrial, medical and environmental applications. The ZOMZ Lab line includes photometers KFK-3-ZOMZ, portable photometers KFK-5M, flame photometers FPA-2-01, circular polarimeters SM-3, polariscopes- polarimeters PKS-250M, whiteness testers RZ-BPL-TSM.
All purpose photometers KFK- 3- ZOMZ represent an upgraded version of KFK-3 model and include three options: KFK-3 -01-ZOMZ, KFK-3 -02- ZOMZ, KFK-3 -03 -ZOMZ.
Photometer KFK-3-01-ZOMZ is a base model. It is a high performance ergonomically designed photometer intended for clinical and chemical analysis of liquid solutions. Abs and %T measurements in the wavelength range 320-900 nm. Concentration measurements by factor or a standard, by 6 standards. Kinetics measurements at a fixed wavelength.
The KFK-3-02-“ZOMZ” model has a thermostatic cuvette compartment, whereas KFK-3-03-ZOMZ contains a thermostatic flow cuvette and an external thermostat for sample preparation.
28804pr@reply-direct.com Afterburner Ashing Furnace
The ABF 8/28, from Carbolite is a powerful and extremely robust ashing furnace with an integral afterburner, which offers additional features to those of the standard ashing furnace. Typical applications include residue analysis, the burning of samples to constant weight and also the recovery of precious metals. As these processes can lead to unpleasant smoke and odour, the ABF 8/28 is fitted with a fan assisted pre-exhaust afterburner to combust the smoke further before exiting the chimney. The afterburner is rated for 40 g carbon per ashing load.
The recycling of valuable materials, such as plastic insulation of cables, paints, polymer-based metal blanks or plastics from PCBs are further applications for the ABF.
Advantages include: maximum operating temperature 800°C; chamber volume 28 l; thermal oxidation up to 950°C; heating elements protected by SiC tiles; 3216P1 programmer with 8 ramps and 8 dwells; ABF can be fitted with an integral scale for gravimetric analysis

New Family of RST Touch Screen Rheometers Introduced
Brookfield welcomes three new instruments into its touch screen family of rheometers: the RST-CPS Cone Plate Rheometer, the RST-CC Coaxial Cylinder Rheometer and the RST-SST Soft Solids Tester Rheometer. The new RST Series offers the quickest and most comprehensive capability for making rheological measurements, whether it’s single point viscosity for QC or complete flow curve analysis for R&D.
The RST Rheometers are unique because they operate in both controlled stress and controlled rate modes and can perform all of the following tests: viscoelastic modulus, yield stress, viscosity vs. shear rate profile, thixotropy calculation, creep behavior, recovery after flow, and temperature sensitivity. Every RST Rheometer offers the widest torque range available to handle the broadest range of sample materials (500 to 1 million dyne•cm). They provide exceptional versatility with the largest range of shear rates and DIN spindle geometries. The sturdy, rugged design of the RST is ideal for use in R&D, working in the QC lab, or on the production floor.
All RST models come with the standard option for 21 CFR compliance, including controlled user access and data integrity/security. No other instrument offers so much capability at such a low price.
