38 New Density Meter Series: Simple. Reliable. Precise.


Bellingham + Stanley is pleased to announce the arrival of the DSG Series Density Meters. Use of a density meter is commonplace throughout industry; from raw material testing to multiple instrument experiments within food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical and general industrial processes.


Comprised of two instruments with varying measurement accuracy, the DSG Series offers fl exibility for your laboratory. The DSG40 has a density measurement accuracy to 4 decimal places, whilst the DSG50 offers a higher specifi cation resolving to 5 decimal points (g/cm3). The versatility of the DSG Series is evident through its METHODS system, common throughout Bellingham + Stanley’s range of RFM refractometers and ADP Polarimeters. The METHODS system allows users to adapt to sample measurement with a collection of predetermined selections. DSG Series results can be expressed as Brix, % alcohol (w/w or v/v) as well as specifi c gravity (20/20 or 25/25) with the potential for even more application specifi c methods to be introduced over time.


The new instruments follow the same design philosophy of Bellingham + Stanley’s world renowned RFM refractometers and ADP polarimeters. Simple. Reliable. Precise.


The common design language used throughout Bellingham + Stanley’s high-quality engineering means that the DSG Series Density Meters not only sport a great touchscreen, but also fast networking abilities, USB functionality and more.


Users familiar with Bellingham + Stanley products will recognise how the simple, bright, 7” colour-coded touchscreen makes reading and confi guration simple, even when wearing PPE gloves. Those new to the system will be blown away by the ease of use, whether that be during confi guration or taking readings. For a more traditional method of operation and to aid accessibility, DSG Series Density Meters are fully operable with optional mouse and keyboard.


Peltier temperature control is used to ensure stablisation before analysis, whilst a powerful internal air pump, humidity sensor, and integrated desiccant means the DSG Series has no need for external devices for venting after cleaning, so your precious bench space isn’t taken up by needless peripherals.


Extensive reporting and security features within the instrument’s user-friendly menu ensures auditability and data integrity when choosing to incorporate the instrument into any laboratory operating in accordance with GLP or FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11.

Automated Pipetting System with Protocol Support and Training PIPETMAX, built upon PIPETMAN®


frees up time devoted to tedious pipetting jobs that improve lab productivity and lets you get results faster.


The hardware and software of PIPETMAX are customisable to fi t the specifi c needs of the assay, allowing you to confi gure and customise runs to any reagent, kit, or protocol. With intelligent tip management, the pipette heads allow up to eight tips to be used simultaneously. With a volume range from 1 µL to 1200 µL, PIPETMAX is an ideal solution for qPCR and PCR, NGS reactions, cell-based assays, and more, like optimising qPCR master mix dispensing.


PIPETMAN® DIAMOND Tips are designed to fi t Gilson devices perfectly. They deliver accurate and precise pipetting when used in conjunction with Gilson devices. Tips are


certifi ed for 384-well plates and ensure maximum accuracy and precision while delivering consistent results. The perfect air-tight seal prevents leaks. The tips are made of pure polypropylene to deliver the correct volume and ensure complete dispensing. Volume graduations make it easy to visually check the volume aspirated.


The PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips, Refi lls for PIPETMAX are validated for use with 384-well plates and are ideal for use with PIPETMAX for accurate, reproducible automated pipetting.


Gilson tips are manufactured in a cleanroom environment ensuring they are free of detectable contaminants that can affect your results. From manufacturing to the bench, tips are guaranteed, certifi ed, and traceable to meet the most stringent demands in many applications.

Greener Solutions for Autoclave Energy Effi ciency


With steam sterilisation temperatures and pressures well established, autoclaving within a vessel of a known size requires a predefi ned quantity of energy. To be energy-effi cient during thermal sterilisation, autoclaves must reach - and hold - a sterilisation temperature and pressure without heat loss to the environment, but also drop back to room temperature and pressure effectively during cooling stages.


Astell are innovators in energy effi ciency - their autoclaves: capture and reuse heat energy that would otherwise be lost; use the minimum necessary volume of water to generate steam; generate that steam very quickly to minimise the opportunities for heat loss.


Yet these technical developments can only go so far, and Astell’s greatest energy saving happens before the autoclave is ever switched on.


Astell request that their potential customers supply detail of what they plan to sterilise. This allows the autoclave manufacturer, founded in the Victorian era, to produce devices that include only the specifi c hardware required to meet the user’s needs.


“Constructing autoclaves for the end user’s specifi c needs allows us to save our customers from large bills,” said Sales & Marketing Director, Paul Birchmore. “It also allows them to help save the planet by keeping the resources that would go into producing unnecessary components in the ground.” More information online: ilmt.co/PL/1zlE

Freeze-dryable Reagents for Ultra-sensitive PCR Diagnostic Tests


PCR Biosystems has introduced the Lyo-Ready Probe 1-Step Kit, a lyophilisable 4x RT-qPCR reagent mix for ultra-sensitive high-throughput detection of RNA sequences. The new reagents bring the exceptional sensitivity of their liquid format 1-step RT-qPCR reagents to a freeze-dryable format.


As a result, simplifi ed creation of freeze-dried multiplex assays with lower limits of detection is possible, and logistical and storage infrastructure required to deliver tests to the point of use will be streamlined. Diagnostics developers can accelerate time to market, and clinical, veterinary, food and environmental testing end-users can benefi t from superior nucleic acid detection.


The new reagents come optimised for freeze-drying, meaning diagnostic developers only need to add their desired probes and primers prior to lyophilisation, unlocking smoother, faster test development. The new reagents are pre-blended with a unique mix of excipients to ensure uncompromised sensitivity after resuspension - even for multiple RNA targets - making the reagents ideal for high-performance multiplex tests.


The lyo-ready kits contain a glycerol-free 4x qPCR mix, high-concentration thermostable UltraScript Reverse Transcriptase for superior sensitivity and accuracy, and a blend of excipients that confer identical performance pre- and post-drying. The mixes include proprietary hot start Taq polymerase for specifi c template amplifi cation, and advanced buffer chemistry including magnesium and dNTPs.


PCR Biosystems is Quality Management System standard ISO 13485 certifi ed, ensuring full product traceability, and optimum lot-to-lot consistency.


The reagent mixes have been validated for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 and common respiratory viruses, including infl uenza and respiratory syncytial virus. The new reagent formulations are perfectly suited for the creation of multiplex winter panel diagnostic kits. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/Aywx
