New website streamlines clean air system selection
Innovative IR hotplate/stirrer for precision lab applications
Experience the cutting-edge design of the Wiggens WH390-NH, featuring the latest infrared heating technology for effi cient and powerful heating (2000 W). This innovative hotplate-stirrer is engineered to rapidly heat various vessel shapes, including round-bottom fl asks, reaching a maximum temperature of 550°C in a very short time.
Benefi ting from Schott glass ceramic surface technology, the WH390-NH ensures chemical resistance, high surface quality, and temperature shock resistance exceeding 700°C. The poreless smooth surface facilitates easy cleaning, while the high infrared permeability ensures rapid and effi cient liquid heating, optimising time and energy usage.
Equipped with three pre-set PID options for different volume heating applications, the WH390-NH self-optimises for perfect temperature stability. Connection of a Pt-100 sensor enables temperature-controlled work with a remarkable stability of +/- 2°C in most applications.
Monmouth Scientific has launched a redesigned website and updated brand identity, reinforcing its commitment to providing accessible, high-performance clean air solutions for laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and industrial sectors. The new website features a streamlined design and user-friendly navigation to help customers specify the right containment systems with ease and confidence.
One of the key improvements is smarter product navigation. Users can now browse the full product range - including Biological Safety Cabinets, Laminar Flow Units, Fume Cupboards, and Modular Cleanrooms - by product type or by protection requirement. This makes it easier to identify suitable solutions based on operator safety, process protection, or environmental control needs.
Each product page now includes updated technical content, with downloadable datasheets, compliance details, and performance specifications to support informed decision-making in highly regulated sectors. The improved transparency reflects Monmouth Scientific’s focus on precision and reliability.
The Service & Maintenance section has also been restructured to better support facility managers and compliance teams. It offers easy access to information on servicing, preventative maintenance, and filter replacements. Customers can now submit service enquiries and support requests directly through the website, streamlining aftersales care.
An expanded portfolio of case studies demonstrates how Monmouth’s systems perform in real-world applications - from pharmaceutical compounding and medical device manufacturing to university laboratories and hospital environments.
The updated website is part of a broader brand refresh, which introduces a cleaner visual identity, updated tone of voice, and modern messaging - while staying true to the company’s long-standing values of trust and service. The new platform has been designed with future scalability in mind, allowing for continued digital development as part of Monmouth Scientific’s wider growth strategy.
“As industries become more advanced and regulated, the need for reliable, accessible clean air solutions continues to grow,” said Sales Director Lewis Irish. “Our refreshed brand and website ensure we meet that demand with both cutting-edge products and a digital experience that empowers our customers.”

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc has introduced the EZ-Check Salmonella spp. Kit, a rapid PCR-based test for detecting Salmonella in a wide range of food and environmental samples. The kit has received validation from AOAC International under its Performance Tested Methods program and NF VALIDATION certifi cation from AFNOR Certifi cation.
Designed for streamlined workfl ows, the EZ-Check Salmonella spp. Kit combines multiplex amplifi cation of Salmonella DNA with an internal control
to reduce false negatives, while its duplex detection system simplifi es assay setup and enhances accuracy.
The kit’s performance has been rigorously tested by both international certifi cation bodies across parameters including robustness, stability, inclusivity, exclusivity, and matrix compatibility. Bio-Rad’s iQ-Check Free DNA Removal Solution has also been validated as part of the complete workfl ow, ensuring reliable testing across all sample types.
“Salmonella contamination remains a serious concern for food manufacturers, with outbreaks posing health risks and costly recalls,” said Franck Edouard, Senior Marketing Director, Food Science Division, Bio-Rad Laboratories. “The EZ-Check Salmonella spp. Kit delivers a rapid, reliable solution to support quality control, helping producers meet food safety standards and protect consumers. Its international recognition reinforces Bio-Rad’s commitment to providing validated, high-performance tools for pathogen detection.”

Monitoring disinfection byproducts in drinking water: A sensitive IC-MS/MS approach
While chlorination is essential for controlling pathogens in drinking water, it can produce harmful byproducts, including haloacetic acids (HAAs), dalapon, and bromate, some of which are potentially carcinogenic. Regulatory bodies like the US EPA and the EU have set a maximum contamination limit of 60 µg/L for the sum of five key HAAs (HAA5: MCAA, MBAA, DCAA, DBAA, TCAA).
EPA Method 557 outlines a procedure for quantifying these compounds at trace levels across diverse water types. In this method, a Metrohm ion chromatograph (IC) is paired with an Agilent triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS), enabling direct, high-sensitivity analysis without the need for sample extraction. The Metrohm Suppressor Module minimises eluent interference, while the Metrosep A Supp 19 column ensures excellent separation of analytes from matrix components.
Even in complex water samples, matrix spike recoveries at 1 µg/L ranged from 65–115%, and minimum reporting levels (MRLs) fell between 0.025 and 0.25 µg/
L.This robust IC-MS/ MS method fully complies with EPA Method 557 and provides a reliable tool for safeguarding drinking water quality.
