New accessory enables precise molecular weight analysis


Safe, portable, and trackable cryogenic transport


Azenta Life Sciences has developed the CryoPod™ Carrier - a lightweight, handheld solution for the secure transport of temperature-sensitive biological samples. Delivering cryogenic protection below -150 °C for over three hours, the CryoPod Carrier offers portability, safety, and temperature traceability across the critical last mile of the cold chain.


Maintaining cold-chain integrity during sample transfers between labs or storage facilities can be a major challenge, particularly for high-value or temperature-critical biomaterials. The CryoPod Carrier addresses this risk by preventing transient warming events that could compromise sample quality or viability.


Weighing under 6 kg, the compact CryoPod Carrier is engineered for short-range sample transport within or between labs. Unlike improvised solutions or dry ice alternatives, it ensures samples remain in a validated cryogenic environment throughout the journey - while monitoring and logging key data such as internal temperature, time, and date.


Testa Analytical has introduced the LS Assistant, a versatile add-on for Multiangle Light Scattering (MALS) systems that delivers highly accurate specific refractive index (dn/dc) measurements - essential for reliable molecular weight determination of polymers, proteins, and other macromolecules.


The LS Assistant simplifies dn/dc analysis with intuitive operation and minimal training requirements. Designed for full sample recovery, it allows users to collect and reuse valuable materials for further testing. Its compatibility with a wide range of solvents and integrated temperature control ensures stable, reproducible conditions across diverse applications.


Functioning as both a dn/dc and concentration measurement system, the LS Assistant features dedicated software for rapid, accurate analysis - delivering dn/dc results in minutes. Once the dn/dc value is known, the device can also determine sample concentration with precision.


A major advantage of the LS Assistant is its wavelength- matched configuration, allowing users to select a model that aligns exactly with the operating wavelength of their light scattering system. This matching significantly enhances the accuracy of molecular weight calculations.


The LS Assistant is an ideal complement to MALS, goniometers, and GPC/SEC systems in advanced macromolecular characterisation workflows.

The CryoPod Carrier integrates seamlessly into laboratory workflows and supports regulatory compliance by storing a full event log that can be downloaded for audit purposes. An onboard display and alarms offer real-time visibility of cryogenic conditions, giving researchers peace of mind that their materials remain protected.


For added convenience and user safety, Azenta also offers an automated filling station. This accessory enables hands-free liquid nitrogen refills in under 15 minutes - reducing exposure and enhancing lab efficiency.

Efficient autoclave solutions for modern labs


Designing and manufacturing autoclaves in its UK facility, Priorclave has consistently responded to the diverse requirements of its global clientele. This commitment has resulted in one of the most extensive and customisable ranges of reliable steam sterilisers currently available. Among these, Priorclave’s top-loading vertical autoclaves remain a preferred choice in the life sciences sector. For laboratories requiring a compact steriliser capable of accommodating taller items, a vertical cylindrical chamber autoclave such as the V60-SMART provides an ideal solution.


In contrast, front-loading autoclaves have emerged as one of the most sought-after configurations, particularly for their cost-effectiveness. Designed to offer a more energy- and water-efficient alternative to traditional rectangular chamber autoclaves, cylindrical chamber front-loading models reduce operating costs without compromising performance. Priorclave’s EH150 SMART and Q63 ranges, for instance, deliver up to 20% greater load capacity compared with conventional rectangular chamber autoclaves of equivalent external dimensions.


All cylindrical chamber models are constructed from 316-grade stainless steel using Priorclave’s bespoke seam welding system. This advanced process produces one of the strongest, straightest, and smoothest seams achievable, ensuring exceptional structural integrity and long-term reliability under regular use.


Each Priorclave autoclave is equipped with the exclusive Tactrol® 3 controller, allowing gloved users to initiate cycles with a single


button press while also providing advanced programming features to ensure consistent and precise sterilisation. Every unit is supported by some of the most comprehensive warranty and service agreements available globally. These are made possible by Priorclave’s confidence in the exceptional quality and reliability of its custom-built autoclaves.

Sterile transport carts meet UN3291 standards


Expert manufacturer of hygienic solutions, Teknomek, has launched a brand new partnership with Hupfer, one of Europe’s leading specialists in sterile goods logistics. Teknomek has recently partnered with Hupfer to become the proud UK distributor of Hupfer equipment, including its Medical Transport Carts. Designed for healthcare environments and Sterile Service Departments (SSD), the carts are independently UN3291 certified, meeting international standards.


Sterile transport carts, or trolleys, play a critical role in any medical or healthcare environment. They are used to prevent contamination during the transportation of sterile equipment, such as operating theatre instruments, from a sterile services department to where it is needed, either on-site or offsite. Once instruments have been through autoclave decontamination in an SSD, they are cooled and packed into wired or wrapped containers. The specially designed trolley is then used to move the sterile equipment safely and hygienically to the desired department within a healthcare or research environment or to a separate location. After use, the contaminated instruments can then be replaced in the trolley to be returned safely to the SSD for autoclaving/sterilisation.


Teknomek’s Hupfer medical trolley is one of the most robust transport solutions available for sectors where hygiene is critical. Manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel and certified to a payload of up to 250kg, each trolley features a fully enclosed, single-walled construction that is easy to clean and sterilise. Independently tested and independently certified to UN3291, the trolley is built to withstand demanding healthcare environments and meet international standards for the secure transport of clinical waste.


The Hupfer trolley is fully compatible with trolley washers and complies fully with NHS handling protocols and infection control guidelines. It also helps to prevent the rips and tears which can commonly occur in materials such as sterile wraps and packaging films during handling, transport or storage. This type of damage not only compromises product integrity but can also pose serious hygiene and safety risks.


Available in four sizes, one with a single door and three with double-doors, each trolley has a three-point locking system and three height-adjustable stainless-steel shelves. It runs on four 160mm castors with stainless steel housings and total lock braking. With two swivel castors, ergonomic push handles and top-mounted corner bumpers, the trolley has been thoughtfully designed to offer safe, stable manoeuvrability.
