Laboratory Products 13 Affordable new desktop and mobile printers for scientific/laboratory environments
TSC Printronix Auto ID has introduced a range of desktop and mobile printers tailored for scientific and laboratory environments, emphasising cleanliness and efficiency. The TH DH Series desktop printers come in robust 2-inch and 4-inch versions with 203 dpi or 300 dpi print options. Encased in antibacterial plastic, these devices can print up to 7,000 labels a day, supporting widths from 10mm to 120mm. Ideal for identifying and tracking samples, these printers offer seamless integration, enhanced security, and the ability to print on various media, including linerless.
For on-the-go printing, the Alpha-30LHC mobile printer has been added to the Alpha Series 3-inch range. Encased in robust, disinfectant-ready plastic, the Alpha-30LHC is lightweight, comfortable, and can endure multiple drops of up to 2.5 meters. Designed for tasks requiring labels on demand, it is suitable for a range of industries.
“Our mobile, desktop and industrial barcode label printers are used in healthcare, food & drink, pharmaceutical, industrial and clinical settings all around the world but these are our first devices to be specifically manufactured in wipeable, antibacterial plastic to reduce the spread of germs,” said Bob Vines, UK, Ireland & Nordics country manager for TSC Printronix Auto ID. “They can withstand any number of different cleaning solutions including hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite and alcohol, and the TH DH versions have a sealed membrane button.“
The Alpha-30LHC uses USB, MFi Bluetooth® , or dual-band Wi-Fi for easy connectivity to mobile computers or smartphones, ensuring reliable
and safe operation with enterprise-level security. Supporting sustainability objectives, both the TH DH Series and Alpha-30LHC can print on linerless media, reducing waste.

Innovative vortex mixer transforms laboratory experience
Starlab, the Hamburg-based laboratory products manufacturer, continues to revolutionise the laboratory market with the upcoming launch of its latest product, the Starlab Vortex Mixer. Following the successful introduction of the Starlab Minicentrifuge 18 months ago, this new vortex mixer combines cutting-edge design, exceptional performance, and user-friendly features.
Designed to elevate day-to-day lab work, the Starlab Vortex Mixer is set to debuted on 5th March 2024, with a retail price of 350.00 GBP. Klaus Ambos, President & CEO of Starlab International, expressed pride in introducing another crucial product for next-generation laboratories. Ambos emphasised the company’s commitment to infusing enjoyment into lab work, believing that passion and performance are essential for successful research.
Building on the success of the Minicentrifuge, the Vortex Mixer showcases Starlab’s distinctive curved design, characterised by a fluid and visually striking wave pattern and a two-tone colour scheme. Ambos highlighted that the design goes beyond aesthetics; it encourages active interaction and ensures intuitive handling for laboratory staff.
The Vortex Mixer focuses on user-friendliness, featuring an intuitive glove-compatible touchscreen interface. The interface simplifies speed and time adjustments, offering pre-set options for quick selection. Customised settings are also available, and the mixer incorporates an energy- saving sleep mode to reduce energy consumption during periods of inactivity.
Versatility is a key feature, with a speed range from 300 rpm to 3500 rpm in touch mode, accommodating various laboratory requirements. The large surface area allows vortexing of differently shaped tubes and containers, and optional adapters enable continuous mixing of tubes or a microplate within a range of 300 rpm to 1500 rpm. The Vortex Mixer operates quietly, ensuring a disturbance-free working environment, while anti-slip feet provide stability and safety during operation.
Klaus Ambos expressed confidence in the Vortex Mixer, stating: “From gentle sample mixing to vigorous vortexing, the Starlab Vortex Mixer brings good vibes to every lab with its compact and innovative design. Good vibrations. Great results!”
Technical specifications of the Starlab Vortex Mixer include a speed range from 300 rpm to 3,500 rpm, touch and continuous operating modes, and noise levels of ≤55 dBA. The mixer is equipped with USB output, timing capacity from 1 second to 99:59 minutes, and an orbital movement type.

New application note: AEX-MS - a powerful tool for charge heterogeneity characterisation of an IgG4-based mAb The efficacy and safety of
mAbs is ensured by tightly controlled critical quality attributes (CQA) such as the charge heterogeneity. To monitor the CQAs of mAbs, sensitive and reliable analytical methods are essential. This application note from YMC Europe GmbH demonstrates the successful charge heterogeneity analysis of an IgG4-based mAb with a pI of 6.6 using a strong anion exchange column, BioPro IEX QF, coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) detection. PNGase F-mediated deglycosylation enhanced the resolution of glycosylated variants, allowing for precise monitoring of Fc CQAs.

62111pr@reply-direct.com Convenient, eco-friendly autoclaving
In the realm of laboratories and research facilities, Astell Scientific has been a leading force in providing sustainable and efficient sterilisation solutions for nearly a quarter century. Their commitment to user-friendly eco-consciousness is displayed in the Astell Compact Toploading Autoclave.
Similar to their benchtop counterparts, the Compact Toploading Autoclaves offer a range of features tailored to meet operational needs of the modern life sciences laboratory. Available in 63-litre capacity, these floor-standing self-contained steriliser units require no plumbing and operate efficiently from a standard single-phase power supply, making them ideal for settings where space is at a premium.
The Compact Autoclave range is available in two versions: the ‘Classic’ and the ‘Ecofill’. The ‘Ecofill’ model boasts an integral reservoir and an in-built ‘autofill’ water re-circulation system. This clever feature not only offers convenience but significantly reduces water consumption, a crucial factor amid increasing environmental concerns. This system allows for water usage optimisation, providing water for up to 15 cycles while minimising waste by acting as a collection vessel for condensate and residual water, positioning themselves as one of the most environmentally friendly options in the market.
On the other hand, the ‘Classic’ version requires manual water-fill, with condensate leaving the vessel via a silicone tube connected to a heat-resistant bottle during the cycle.
With Astell’s Compact Toploading Autoclaves, organisations can enjoy the benefits of sustainable sterilisation technology without compromising on performance or convenience. For more information or to request a quotation, contact Astell Scientific today.
