Laboratory Products 73 Rapid, Reproducible Cooling of Laboratory Samples
Asynt announces FroSyn, an innovative fluid-free cooling plate that enables rapid cooling of samples in vials or round bottom flasks (up to 500 mL) to below -60°C.
Designed in conjunction with temperature control specialists, Julabo GmbH, FroSyn represents a next generation sustainable alternative to using traditional ice and dry ice (CO2
) cooling baths.
Active temperature control, via. a Pt100 sensor positioned in the insulated base plate, allows the user to set a defined plate temperature (down to -70°C) and prevents temperature fluctuations over time. This innovative approach to sample cooling results in excellent reproducibility and improved reaction control. Unlike dry ice cooling baths that require constant attention, the stable and controlled sub-ambient performance of the FroSyn means that even overnight reactions can be performed with complete confidence.
Specialist insulation around the cooling probe and plate on the FroSyn improves performance, keeps the apparatus ice- free and helps eliminate the possibility of operator cold burns during operation. Positioning of the FroSyn on top of a conventional magnetic stirrer plate allows for efficient sample mixing during cooled experiments.
The FroSyn can be used with either a set of standard insets for round bottom flasks from 50 mL to 500 mL, or with custom manufactured reaction vial holding plates. The use of either weights and seals for the flask inserts, or an inerting dome with the vial plates prevents the formation of ice on the glassware. Other custom cooling accessories are also available to compliment different applications, for example a 4-position holding module for battery research and development.

New Smart Infrared Loop Steriliser Allows Labs to Save on Plastic Waste
WLD-TEC GmbH, the globally known specialists for safety laboratory gas burners and electrical annealing systems, are on a mission to reduce plastic waste in the lab caused by disposable inoculation loops. After testing the durability of stainless steel inoculation loops in combination with a safety laboratory gas burner and an infrared loop steriliser, WLD-TEC reported some startling results and statistics.
The test consisted of performing 30,000 annealings for a duration of 3 seconds each with only one 3 mm stainless steel inoculation loop. The results concluded that plastic waste from 30.000 disposable inoculation loops, plus their packaging, can be saved with one stainless steel inoculation loop used with an infrared loop steriliser, such as the SteriMax smart/basic.
In addition to this huge amount of plastic waste that is caused when using 30,000 disposable inoculation loops, approximately €2500 in costs will be incurred. As the price for the SteriMax smart/basic, including stainless steel inoculation loops, does not exceed €800, the instrument allows users to protect the environment as well as save a lot of money. The SteriMax Smart from WLD-TEC provides high-speed annealing and sterilisation without gas flame and is ideal for all laboratories, anaerobic environments and safety cabinets.
This innovative steriliser uses specifically focused infrared light which generates an IR hotspot for sterilising inoculating loops at a temperature of 750° to 1000°C in only 5 to 10 seconds immediately and without any preheating.
Touchless IR-Sensor technology starts each sterilisation process automatically. Adjustable timers signal both the completion of sterilisation and cooling via the display and an audible signal. After that your inoculation loop is ready for use. Both timers can be adjusted and recalled individually and up to the second for two users by gently touching the panel.
’Thermocontrol’ is the key element for an efficient use of power. It allows for quick but smooth softstart of the infrared light, a short heating period and the re-use of residual heat for the next sterilisation process, which will be respectively shorter. Whenever you pause, your energy consumption and heat dissipation will pause as well.
Features include: instantly ready to work without any warm-up; Auto-Start through touchless IR-Sensor technology; adjustable sterilisation and cool-down timers for two users by front panel operation; annealing tube made of special quartz glass; very simple cleaning of the device and annealing tube; efficient use of energy and minimal heat dissipation thanks to Thermo Control; Cool -Touch housing made of stainless steel and safety glass.

New Smartphone Strip Reader Offers Convenient Real Time Analysis
Johnson Test Papers announces the launch of the StripCheck smartphone app for their J-QUANT range of test strips. The app provides a digital reading for the user and records the result. These results can be further analysed and the data can be manipulated directly within the app which links to an online web portal.
Features include: accurate colour measurement of test strips; logical layout of app; intelligent back-end allowing user complete data manipulation; can be installed on any smartphone without need of expensive hardware; secure storage of data.
StripCheck goes beyond the apps currently available on the market. Each batch of J-QUANT test strip are calibrated and linked to the app allowing for complete precision and control for the user. J-QUANT Test strips are a convenient and reliable method used for in-field testing. The SmartCheck app scans the colour change on the test strip and records the result. The data is saved in the cloud and can be accessed either via the app or a web portal.
The online web portal is a comprehensive interface for analysing, manipulating and reporting the data in real time. It allows the user to build series of data points for trend analysis.
The StripCheck app and web portal is compatible with the complete range of J-QUANT test strips used for measuring water quality in the waste water, agriculture, aquaculture, food and beverage industry and environmental testing.
The StripCheck app is currently available on Android and will be released on iOS platform very soon. More information online:
