31 The Future of Pure Water for Science
Elga has unveiled the PURELAB flex, a state-of-the-art water purification system. The PURELAB flex integrates in-hand monitoring and accurate pure water dispensing in one unique product. This makes general through to highly specialised applications in chemistry and life sciences research and testing laboratories effortless.
Extensive customer research and an in-depth knowledge of water and the diverse range of research and testing applications have resulted in the PURELAB flex’s unique ergonomic design. The flexible hand held dispenser has an easy-to-read digital display which shows both volume and water purity (either resistivity or conductivity and Total Organic Carbon) giving users complete confidence in the water quality, allowing them to visibly monitor the water purity as they are dispensing.
The dispense handset has precise fingertip control (like a pipetter) and is intuitive to use, therefore minimal training is required – just key in the volume needed and simply press to dispense. The handset can also be easily programmed with pre-set volumes, which can be repeated with the single press of a button. For maximum versatility, the PURELAB flex hand dispenser is height adjustable and the dispense point can be easily positioned to accommodate virtually any size of container. Users will also appreciate the speed and ease of changing purification packs – reducing the time spent on routine maintenance.
The PURELAB flex is easily upgradeable to facilitate changes to laboratory design layouts and applications. Utilising the latest water purification technologies the PURELAB flex can be configured with an integral purification pack and UV lamp to produce ultra-pure water (Type I polishing system), or the system can be readily adapted to produce a Type II/III dispense and monitoring system. User settings can even be customized via the web and uploaded via the integral USB port in seconds.
The PURELAB flex combines cutting edge design with Elga’s extensive water expertise to deliver unsurpassed ease-of-use and adaptability.
LAB PRODUCTS Circle no. 606 New Shape and Premium Performance
The first fully UV-transparent disposable cuvette has a new improved shape. With a larger optical window, open side walls and easy-to-read path length indication, the patented Eppendorf UVette®
is even more user-friendly and still delivers the same excellent results.
As a perfect example of Eppendorf’s expertise in the production of high quality consumables, the UVette offers superb purity, convenience and precision for spectrophotometric analysis in the UV and VIS range. As well as being the ideal partner for the Eppendorf BioPhotometer plus, the UVette can be used in other photometers or spectrometers in conjunction with an adapter. The larger optical window enhances the new UVette’s compatibility with instruments from other suppliers and reduces stray light effects, while the open side wall design gives greater sample visibility. A single 90º rotation provides two optical path lengths. The easy-to-read path length indication enables users to identify quickly the correct orientation (2mm and 10mm) for their application.
UVettes are manufactured from crystal clear plastic which is UV and VIS-transparent between 220nm and 1,600nm. Pipetting can be monitored clearly, volume markings show 500µl and 1,000µl, while the UVette’s design prevents the capillary effect, so that liquids remain in the centre of the measuring area, even minimum volumes of 50µl. The frosted grip is convenient for labelling and the inward facing optical windows provide superior protection against scratches. Individually packaged, UVettes are PCR clean and protein-free to recover samples without the risk of degradation or contamination. However, if this purity is not necessary, the economical UVette routine pack is also available. The new-shape Eppendorf UVette is particularly suited to measurements of precious samples, quantification of low concentrations and recovery of samples for downstream applications.
