Laboratory Products 29 Productive Hands Free Evaporation
For laboratories tired of having to constantly attend to multiple rotary evaporators, the Rocket™ Evaporator from Genevac sets the benchmark for productivity and ease-of-use. Proven in hundreds of installations worldwide, the Rocket Evaporator provides truly unattended operation capability. Requiring no training even a beginner can competently use the system in less than 5 minutes. Simply load your flasks, highlight the desired evaporation method, and press start. Inbuilt monitoring and Automatic End of Run means users are able to focus on other tasks confident that they will achieve perfect, reproducible results every time.
Developed in response to users requiring an evaporator that could quickly process large volumes of solvent without supervision, the Rocket Evaporator is able to safely and rapidly dry or concentrate as many as six flasks (each containing up to 450ml solvent) or 18 ASE™ tubes five times faster than conventional evaporators. In addition for concentrating large sample volumes directly into sample vials - the Rocket is fully compatible with Genevac’s proprietary SampleGenie™ style flask.
To achieve the dual goals of very fast evaporation, with precise temperature control to protect valuable samples, the Rocket Evaporator uses patented drying technology utilising low temperature steam to directly heat the sample flasks. By pulling a vacuum on the samples, solvent(s) boil at a low temperature, which is determined by the pressure. Genevac’s patented Dri-Pure®
technology further ensures sample integrity by eliminating solvent bumping and foaming that can lead to cross contamination. Incorporating an
inbuilt 3 litre cold trap and requiring no peripherals for operation the compact Rocket Evaporator fits neatly onto a laboratory bench or into a fume hood.
30284pr@reply-direct.com New Software Provides Uncompromising Performance, Speed, and Usability for Raman, AFM, and SNOM
The new WITec Suite software is now available for all WITec imaging systems. It was specifically developed to acquire and process large data volumes of large-area, high- resolution measurements and 3D imaging while providing speed, performance, and usability. Through the software architecture and graphical user interface an integrated and consolidated functionality is available incorporating the various techniques and measurement modes from Raman, to AFM, to SNOM, fluorescence and luminescence.
An intelligent computer resource management provides the capabilities for the generation and visualisation of even large data sets. The high-speed data acquisition allows for example the measurement and recording of over 1300 Raman spectra in only one second. Furthermore data sets including several million image pixels, each containing the information of e.g. a complete Raman spectrum or an AFM pulsed force mode-curve, can be generated, processed, and imaged smoothly with WITec Suite.
Another focus of WITec Suite is the improved and simplified usability. The software design provides a clear and intuitive menu guidance and an individually adjustable user interface to be suitable for all experience levels and user requirements. The smart access options for all principle functions, including for example the circle mouse menu, accelerate the workflow and smooth the first steps into the software and an accessible learning curve.
“WITec imaging systems are well-known for their exceptional imaging qualities. Unprecedented performance and speed facilitate the acquisition of large data volumes and the generation of 3D images and large-area scans,” explained Dr Olaf Hollricher, R&D Director at WITec “The capabilities of WITec Suite match perfectly with the requirements for high-speed data acquisition and processing of large data volumes and provide an accomplished combination of comprehensive data analysis and ease-of-use.”
WITec Suite includes Control FOUR, a powerful software tool for measurement control and data acquisition, and Project FOUR, a user friendly data evaluation and processing software. The license terms facilitate the installation of Project FOUR on an unlimited number of computers permitting the user to process data and generate images wherever required.
30373pr@reply-direct.com ADVERTORIAL Fastrak® – the Eco-friendly Tip Racking System for Quality tips at Great Value
Fastrak provides high-quality tips in an ingenious pipette tip refill system, designed to save time and reduce the risk of tip contamination from unnecessary handling. The tips are made from non-cytotoxic, medical grade, 100% virgin polypropylene. Every batch is tested for extractables and certified DNA, DNase and RNase free, ensuring no interference with critical laboratory processes such as PCR or DNA sample handling.
For high-precision pipetting requirements, Fastrak is available with Ultrafine tips which feature a uniquely thin and flexible top that fits the pipette cone like a glove. The un-bevelled tip point provides added accuracy as even the smallest sample volume is expelled with ease. Fastrak tips are designed to fit a wide range of pipettes and each batch of tips is rigorously tested, using ISO/EN 8655-6:2002 specified procedures, to ensure accuracy and precision are maintained with each pipette model.
Pipette tips are quickly and simply refilled using the unique Fastrak transfer-top, eliminating the need to touch the tip or wafer and preventing contamination. Fastrak can also be re-closed to further eliminate exposure to contaminants. The anti-tip wobble racks facilitate easy tip mounting and are especially useful with multichannel pipettes.
Every Fastrak® pack you use goes toward tree planting with the Alpha Laboratree Scheme
When Alpha Laboratories customers invest in Fastrak, they are assured that they are using the most eco-friendly tip refill system available. However, they can do even
more to help preserve the environment for future
generations by joining the Laboratree campaign. It’s free to join and available exclusively to Fastrak users.
Since its inception in 2008, the campaign has attracted over 150 supporters who have already helped to plant over 1250 trees across the UK. This has made a valuable contribution to a major reforestation project in association with the Carbon Managers and the Challenger Trust.
Alpha Laboratories has also joined forces with the Woodland Trust to extend tree planting activities to multiple locations nationwide.
