SALES@INTLABMATE.COM Transforming TB testing with advanced pipette controllers
Antrum Biotech, a healthcare innovations company dedicated to developing rapid diagnostic tools for diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), has integrated serological pipette controllers from Integra Biosciences into its laboratories. The pipetting aids have become an invaluable asset in the company’s liquid handling workfl ows, streamlining the commercialisation of a variety of innovative healthcare products that will have a lasting impact on how we diagnose and control disease.
‘Your Spectroscopy Specialist’
Antrum Biotech, located at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, is a small start-up focused on translating scientifi c research into point-of-care diagnostic tests. The organisation specialises in respiratory and infectious diseases, and recently developed the IRISA-TB™ assay – a novel diagnostic test for detecting extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) – in response to shortfalls in current testing methods.

The company acquired a PIPETBOY pro pipette controller to improve the effi ciency of its liquid handling workfl ows, as Robbyn Mattei, Laboratory Scientist at Antrum Biotech, explained: “Bringing new diagnostic tools to market can be a notoriously slow and challenging process, but one way to accelerate product development is by investing in effi cient and reliable laboratory equipment. Introducing the PIPETBOY pro to our laboratory transformed the speed and accuracy of our liquid handling steps, allowing us to achieve a new level of precision in handling samples, buffers and solutions for our research projects, while also saving us valuable time.”

“The PIPETBOY pro is lightweight, stable and easy to control, and the unique LED light feature is also useful, especially when we are trying to aspirate and dispense accurate liquid volumes in more dimly lit spaces. The pipette controller is also available in many different colors, allowing us to assign specifi c devices to different tasks or workstations in the lab to prevent contamination within our protocols. We highly recommend the PIPETBOY pro to any lab seeking to optimise its operations and achieve exceptional results,” Robbyn concluded.

61959pr@reply-direct.com IR hotplate/stirrer delivers superior heating and mixing
The latest infrared heating technology has been used in the design of the WH280-NH hotplate-stirrer from Wiggens. Thanks to this radiation heating technology, the Wiggens WH280-NH can be used for rapid heating up of various shaped vessels, including round-bottom fl asks, and the solution inside can be heated up to a maximum of 450°C in a very short time.
The new Wiggens hotplate stirrer enjoys the benefi ts of a Schott glass ceramic surface with exceptional chemical resistance, a high surface quality, and a resistance to temperature shocks of more than 700°C, providing users with an optimal solution compared to conventional heating surface materials. The poreless smooth surface enables even the most stubborn dirt to be easily cleaned. The high infrared permeability ensures that the heating energy is transferred quickly and with very limited loss, therefore, it heats liquids fast and saves time and energy. Intelligent Cascade Control enables self-optimising to reach perfect temperature stability. If the Pt-100 sensor is connected, temperature-controlled work with stability of +/- 2°C can be reached in most applications.
In addition to rapid heating capability and superior temperature control, the WH280-NH also offers well controlled gentle to intense mixing of liquids, and is also suitable for large volume viscous media.
The stirring and heating can be controlled separately by convenient turning knobs. All functions can be viewed and monitored on a bright touch screen, including most
frequently used parameters, such as, working temperature, stirring speed, working time, and safety temperature. Memory function for stirring speed and temperature setting makes it convenient to start the experiments with fi xed conditions. A residual-heat display protects the users from burning their hands.
With the aforementioned benefi ts, and many other features, the Wiggens hotplate stirrer is the optimal solution for heating and mixing of liquids in labs, for gentle to intense applications. More information online:
