Laboratory Products 57 Pipetting Solutions for Streamlined Workfl ows
Contract research organisation (CRO) Radix BioSolutions is using the entire span of Integra pipetting products to streamline its workfl ows and increase reproducibility. Dr Kerry Oliver, President and CSO of Radix, explained: “Our services cover everything from quantifying biomarkers and reagent labelling services to the development and production of multiplexed assays, and we use Integra products across our workfl ow.”
Using a whole range of Integra products offers a number of advantages, guaranteeing the same high quality across all instruments, as well as reducing the time taken to train on new platforms. “We started with just a couple of EVOLVE manual pipettes, and I instantly fell in love with them. Not only are they ergonomic, but you can change volumes quickly and easily. From there, we added the VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipettes to our collection, which are perfect for transferring samples between labware with different spacing. We now also have both the VIAFLO 96/384 handheld electronic pipette and the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot, which we use in all stages of our service protocols, from sample prep and assay set-up to reagent addition. The range of options for these systems allows us to perform multiple tasks at the same time, and we use them in parallel - performing different parts of an assay to speed up our workfl ow and improve the overall process. This simply wouldn’t be possible with one larger pipetting system that would also take up a far larger footprint and cost considerably more. We have seen our day-to-day assay consistency improve since using the automation systems; our inter-assay CVs have dropped to below 10% now, while the chance of missing wells is eliminated.”

User-Friendly Support System for Laboratory Scale Reactions
The ReactoMate DATUM from Asynt is a high quality, dual-rod stainless steel and aluminium support system built to ensure the stability and safety of your lab reactor. Sturdy, yet compact, the ReactoMate DATUM support system can accommodate a wide range of reaction vessels from 100 mL up to 5000 mL. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the ReactoMate DATUM support system incorporates a suite of innovative features.
Changing a vessel supported by the ReactoMate DATUM is as simple as ‘Clip & Click’. The novel neck clamp allows fast changeover between reactor vessel sizes thereby enabling simple reaction scale-up, whilst the ingenious mounting mechanism ensures excellent stability and alignment every time.
The Reactomate DATUM support system is fully compatible with all leading brands of overhead stirrers and circulator heating/cooling systems. Designed by chemists for chemists, low-friction polymer bearings line both the overhead stirrer alignment chuck and the neck support to ensure smooth and easy operation.
Ideally suited for use within a benchtop fume hood, adjustable feet allow you to level the ReactoMate DATUM support system ensuring stability and security while you work. Each DATUM system is also supplied with a moulded drip tray that fi ts perfectly within the base of the support, for safely catching any drips and spills from the reaction vessel during draining.
With a wide range of accessories and upgrades available, including drain manifolds and automation packages, the ReactoMate DATUM support system really is the perfect all-rounder for laboratory scale reactions.

Grant Announce Innovative Solution for Safer Indoor Air
Now that summer is over, we are all breathing more indoor air. That means more COVID risk, especially in public spaces. In response, Grant Instruments, one of Cambridge’s longest established tech businesses, has rapidly developed a solution which is already in use at the University of Cambridge and various businesses.
“First we clean the air with a medical-grade HEPA13 fi lter, then we zap any remaining virus with powerful UVC ultraviolet lamps,” said Mark Davison, their CEO. Both technologies are well proven, but Grant Instruments combined them and beefed them up with a powerful fan to produce a neat, enclosed, free- standing device that cleans air quickly, safely and discreetly. “We needed to adapt our business quickly to the COVID crisis, and our team designed and built this product in record time,” He continued.
The air purifying ap360 devices have already enabled customers to re-open communal indoor spaces, such as gyms and libraries. Where people need to use specifi c locations and equipment, or collaborate in person, the ap360 is making that process safer.
We each breathe around 360 litres of air per hour. Unless that stale air is ventilated or disinfected, any exhaled viruses can hang around and infect other
occupants. Buildings with large numbers of unrelated people, such as schools, universities, medical settings and workplaces, are especially vulnerable. The ap360 cleans up to 360 thousand litres per hour, so even a busy room is kept fresh and safe.
Grant Instruments is based in Shepreth, near Cambridge and has been established almost 70 years. It is a world- leading supplier of scientific and laboratory equipment, and exports globally.
