4 Produced by the Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office LIFE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGIES NEW PRODUCTS: GENERAL LAB EQUIPMENT Electronic Pipettes Gilson has redesigned and expanded the range of its easy-to-use, PIPETMAN M line of single and multichannel electronic pipettes. The pipettes now include guaranteed performance in repetitive pipetting mode and a programmable custom mode, enhancing results reliability. For sensitive biological assays like qpcr, repeatable results depend on accurate, precise pipetting, but until now most pipettes have promised performance in only one standard pipetting mode for both standard and repetitive tasks. Gilson now guarantees reliable perfor- Five pipetting mode options enable researchers to perform a large number of applications: pipet (standard), repetitive, mix, reverse, and custom (personalized), with a fast access menu to all the modes plus intuitive navigation. The new personalized pipetting mode lets researchers create their own multistep pipetting protocols, which can be executed automatically using the simple PIPETMAN M software interface. Gilson For info: Coulometer The new Metrohm 917 Karl Fischer Coulometer is a compact, stand-alone features that make it ideal for fast, precise determination of low-level water content. A vivid touchscreen display, simple method recall, and an integrated pump combined with reagent and sample handling make the 917 compact coulometer the fastest, most convenient solution for routine moisture analysis. The 917 is intelligent, automatically recognizing when a sample has been injected and starting the with automatic sample-weight transfer from a laboratory balance, and laboratory information management system compatibility. Quick access to frequently used methods allows titration to begin with a single touch on the high-resolution color touchscreen. Furthermore, the 917 is compact, requiring only 8 in. of linear bench space. The coulometer can be connected to an oven for thermal sample preparation, enabling it to support the broadest range of sample types. Metrohm For info: +41-(0) Gel Scanning System The Bio-1000F is an innovative, userfriendly, and scanning device that integrates image capture, gel preview, and gel extraction essential for routine nucleic acid gel electrophoresis. Using a combination of high-sensitivity, 300-dpi sensors and blue LED illuminators, the Bio-1000F is compatible with all ethidium provides publication-quality images. With a sensitivity of up to 0.04 ng per band, the sults over the more traditional CCD-based gel documentation systems. Users simply place their gel onto the scanning area, close the lid, and wait for the image to be captured. A convenient orange screen shields the user from excessive exposure to the blue light. Users can visualize band patterns and conduct gel extraction directly on the Bio-1000F. Less than 30 cm wide, the Bio-1000F has a compact small space in a crowded laboratory. Eikonix For info: +44-(0) Liquid Nitrogen Generator The Asynt CryoSyn is a unique, ondemand liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ) and nitrogen gas generator (available in 10-L, 20-L, 40-L, 60-L, and 120-L capacity models) for industrial, medical, food and agricultural, biological, and general laboratory applications. CryoSyn eliminates the need for storage and transportation of LN 2, thereby making its use more convenient, reducing running costs, and eliminating traditional evaporation/ contamination problems. The CryoSyn control system gives operators all the information necessary to ensure an ef- 2 and nitrogen gas. Designed to ensure high operational safety, the CryoSyn operates automatically and provides information single-phase electrical supply, the 10-L, 20-L, and 40-L CryoSyn units are fully way, enabling easy transport between of investment in less than two years. Asynt For info: +44-(0) Refractometers The RFM-T Series of high-precision Peltier temperature-controlled benchtop refractometers features a wide measuring range of up to 1.70 RI (refractive index), precision to six decimal places RI (three decimal places Brix), and an all-new, 7-in. touchscreen user interface. The RFM-Ts are ideally suited for quality control applications within the food and beverage, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, plication. RFM900-T models cover the widest of measurement ranges and incorporate a Kalrez prism gasket to protect the instruments from the harsh chemicals at the upper end of their refrac- for easy cleaning between viscous samples. The touchscreen and graphic user interface help the operator quickly navigate through the menus. On-screen graphical prompts support method loading, calibration, and routine maintenance.
