Versatile screw cap recapper solution launched
AFYS3G has launched a new recapping solution to accelerate sample storage workflows: the Recapper for Screw Cap Tubes Sigma96. Designed to improve efficiency, the new tool can be used as a stand-alone instrument or be simply integrated into a fully automated laboratory environment. This makes the recapper ideal for high throughput workflows, to scale-up sample processing for (Covid-19) testing or research, and to relieve
researchers from repetitive manual labour. The Sigma96 can (de)cap a whole rack of sample storage tubes in 30
Comprehensive range of cytosections
AMS Bio has launched a comprehensive range of cytosections that offer a verified, reproducible and renewable source of positive/negative controls where the expression of the target biomarker is confirmed for accuracy and specificity by an immunoassay. Researchers,
antibody and assay developers as well as Immunohistochemistry
(IHC) labs often find it difficult to find a reliable and verified source of positive/negative controls for their IHC experiments. This is especially important when they are developing new IHC protocols for novel targets whose expression pattern is not known or screening for new antibodies
whose staining characteristics in IHC is unknown.
seconds in a single action. The recapper is equipped with an interface (API) so that the device can be integrated into larger robotic systems like liquid handlers. An optional sensor verifies if all caps have been removed for an effective use of the device in an automation process. It is a reliable and durable instrument for
any lab managing compound libraries or biological sample stores that wants to increase sample throughput.
FLUORESCENCE CELL COUNTER
CytoSmart Technologies has announced the release of its first fluorescence cell counter. The CytoSmart Exact FL is an new fluorescence cell counter with an expanded field of view. Although the system’s footprint
New TOC analyser joins the market
Shimadzu has released the TOC-1000e, the first analyser in the eTOC series designed for pure water applications. The series’ main focus is on miniaturisation, high sensitivity and a mercury-free oxidation technique. The TOC-1000e system has the company’s smallest and lightest cabinet and provides high-sensitivity detection, making it ideal for fields requiring high-purity water applications. This
covers manufacturing, including pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, food & beverages, chemistry and precision equipment. Total organic carbon (TOC) analysers are used to rapidly quantify organic substances in water, allowing decisive process intervention. Shimadzu’s TOC analysers are well- suited to lab and online analysis of environmental and waste water.
is very small, its specifications rival most automated cell counters. The specifications include not only an advanced 6.4MP CMOS camera, but also ultrafast autofocus, high magnification and high contrast lenses, increased measuring volume, and super robust image recognition by AI algorithms. The CytoSmart Exact FL
calculates the exact number of cells in a sample and provides a reliable assessment of key cellular parameters, including cell viability and transfection efficiency.
