11 GAMBICA also invited nominations for an Industry Contribution Award. The nominees really have put back into the industry for the benefi t of others. Nominees for the GAMBICA Industry Contribution Award were:
Charles Pascal, previously of Alphalabs, was nominated for his dedicated work on standards committees over many years and for his readiness to help fellow exhibitors on GAMBICA pavilions overseas for many years.
Iain Lindsay, of Rockwell Automation, was nominated for his work on GAMBICA’s environmental regulatory group and for his development of guidance, not only for GAMBICA members, but for the European Commission too.
David Pomeroy, of Monmouth Scientifi c, used his position on BSI committees to ensure that moves to enact changes which would have seriously increased costs for UK companies were not successful.
The overall winner of the award was Iain Lindsay.
It’s a good time to be thinking about those who have contributed to the industry because in 2021 we are celebrating GAMBICA’s 40th anniversary. We are looking for photographs of characters and events in the industry over those 40 years to use on social media as part of the celebrations, so if you have any images you would be willing to let us use (we will credit you and the people featured) please do email them to

Beckman Coulter, a global leader in clinical diagnostics, has announced the launch of the DxH 560 AL, a tabletop analyser geared to reduce the time and resource constraints faced by small to mid-sized laboratories. With the analyser’s Auto-Loading functionality, closed tube aspiration and walkaway capabilities, users can continually add up to 50 samples, provide safety against blood-borne pathogens and spend less time on manual instrument tasks. Compactly designed, the DxH 560 AL uses ~30% less counter space than other analysers in its class.
The DxH 560 AL delivers results in 60 seconds or less, and is the ideal instrument to use with diffi cult-to-draw patients (infants, oncology and elderly) as it only needs a 17 µL sample - less than a drop of blood, one of the smallest aspiration volumes on the market. The analyser also provides industry-leading privacy and security features including customisable user login, paperless data management and fully traceable automated timeouts that guards patient electronic personal health information.
“With proven performance and low-cost to operate, the DxH 560 AL includes the analytical strengths and data management capabilities of high- throughput analysers in a small footprint,” said Peter Soltani, PhD, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Haematology at Beckman Coulter. “The industry-leading functionality and auto-load capabilities of the DxH 560 AL enables smaller labs to reap the same effi ciency and productivity benefi ts as their larger counterparts without blowing the budget.”
The DxH 560 AL is part of Beckman Coulter’s DxH 500 series of small footprint tabletop haematology analysers, including the recently launched DxH 500 and the award winning DxH 520. The full DxH 500 series of analysers include dynamic gating for its 5-part differential, eliminating rejected results and lowering manual interventions.
Beckman Coulter’s DxH 560 AL builds on the organisation’s strength in haematology innovation and complements its broad spectrum of haematology analysers, including the award winning DxH 690T for mid-volume, DxH 900 for high-volume and DxH connected workcell solutions for ultra-high- volume facilities.

Stephen Aldersley, of Goodfellow Cambridge, was nominated for his contribution to the lab tech management committee, to the Board of GAMBICA, and for his unfailing willingness to share his extensive experience and knowledge with fellow members of the Export Group.
Rapid Assessment of the Stability of Colloids and Dispersions The Stabino®
on measurement of streaming potential. Based upon rapid pH and polyelectrolyte titrations, the Stabino®
II from Analytik is a fast and easy-to-operate zeta potential instrument for analysing and optimising the stability of colloids and dispersions, based particles in the range of 0.3 nm to 300 µm in just minutes. With each measuring point, the Stabino®
zeta potential, streaming potential, temperature and pH of your sample. Benefiting from a unique oscillating piston design the Stabino® continuous sample mixing avoiding sedimentation of samples (0.3 nm to 300 µm) - often a problem when a titration approaches the iso-electric point.
II is able to provide very fast, precise and reproducible measurement of the surface charge of II provides valuable information about the conductivity, II provides
The non-optical measuring principle of the Stabino II enables the assessment of stability of colloids and dispersions at their original concentration (up to 40% by volume). Due to the additional titration capability, stability ranges and aging processes can be detected very quickly. The influence of the individual titration additions on the stability can also be determined and optimised during formulation and shortens the development time. The determination of the isoelectric point and the charge titration are important features in the quality control of products or starting materials and help to select suitable starting materials.
Intuitive, easy-to-use software on the Stabino® beaker of the Stabino®
II, open the software and start the measurement. Using Stabino®
each titrated droplet a zeta potential measuring point is generated on the graph that includes all 5 measurement parameters. Applications that can benefit from the unique measurement capabilities of the Stabino®
coatings and material science. More information online:
