20 Stand Up and Be Counted
Suppliers of the SAS range of microbial air samplers for over 20 years, Cherwell Laboratories, has designed and introduced the new SAS Stand, ideal for any situation where a tripod is not required. Manufactured from stainless steel, the stand is quickly and easily attached to any portable SAS sampler. This provides a sturdy and robust platform that greatly improves the stability of all SAS samplers whatever their location, from clean rooms and isolators to operating theatres, food premises and even composting sites.
The SAS Stand is the latest innovation that Cherwell Laboratories has introduced to its SAS range in direct response to customer requests to minimise the risk of costly accidental damage to their samplers. All features have been carefully considered by the Company, including specially designed cut-outs in the stand. These enable the sampler to be programmed for start delay and interval sampling for example, as well as used and recharged without needing to remove it from the stand.
The SAS range of microbial air samplers includes a wide selection of portable handheld units, including the high speed SAS Super 180 with a sampling rate of 180 litres per minute, enabling it to complete a cubic metre in under six minutes. The new SAS stand is particularly useful for the SAS Duo 360 sampler, which simultaneously samples using its two sampling heads and, if positioned vertically, is less stable. At the forefront of portable microbial samplers for over 30 years, the SAS range was originally developed in Milan, Italy,
and the units are now sold worldwide. The standard SAS units use readily available Contact (RODAC) plates, thereby avoiding costly, specialist consumables. An alternative Petri dish version is now also available. LAB PRODUCTS Circle no. 574

Cryogirl Presents the Brand New CryoMill
The CryoMill has been specially designed for cryogenic grinding. The grinding jar is continually cooled with liquid nitrogen from the integrated cooling system before and during the grinding process. Thus the sample is embrittled and volatile components are preserved.

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc has introduced the Thermo Scientific Heraeus one-litre general purpose centrifuge series for unparalleled productivity and throughput. Combining a maximum capacity of 4 x 400ml with a compact design for optimising workspace, these centrifuges feature multilingual user interfaces and control technology to maximise run performance and reproducibility.
Both the Heraeus® NEW
Ideal for plastics, temperature-sensitive materials and samples with volatile components
Programmable cooling cycles, digital parameter setting
Performs grinding cryogenically, at room temperature, or wet

Safe and convenient thanks to an integrated cooling system with Autofill
Megafuge® 16 centrifuges for
routine sample preparation, and the Heraeus Multifuge®
CRYOMILL Fast, efficient cryogenic grinding at -196 °C
The liquid nitrogen circulates through the system and is continually replenished from an autofill system in the exact amount which is required to keep the temperature at –196°C. The automatic cooling system guarantees that the grinding process is not started before the sample is thoroughly cooled. This results in reduced consumption and guarantees reproducible grinding results.
The grinding parameters can be stored for routine tasks. LEDs in the display indicate the current state of operation, e.g. cooling or grinding. With a vibrational frequency of 25 Hz the CryoMill processes most materials very effectively in a few minutes. The sample is mainly ground by impact but also by friction which allows for substantially finer grind sizes compared to other cryogenic mills.
The CryoMill is equipped with one grinding station for grinding jar volumes of 25 ml, 35 ml and 50 ml. Another option is the use of an adapter which holds up to four 5 ml grinding jars. The mill can also be operated without cooling which makes it suitable for a vast range of applications.
