Agilent Analytical Studio Reviewer
Providing an intuitive user interface and a wide range of reporting options, the Agilent Analytical Studio Reviewer (AASR) makes it easy to review large amounts of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) data quickly. The browser lets users customize the display of key data elements, facilitating review of large sample sets. It further enhances lab efficiency by offering color-coding of samples, view-flexibility that highlights particular results, multiple-chromatogram views, and displays of UV-peak purity and MS-peak purity. Data display and reports can be generated in a variety of file formats, including PDF, the manufacturer’s AASR and Waters’ RPT. Users can override summary results to apply corrections, generating a new file with all changes tracked in a log file.

Boekel Scientific

The Flask Dancer Orbital Shaker provides a smooth horizontal mixing motion with a smooth soft start. It can be programmed to operate unattended for periods up to 99 hr at speeds from 50 to 300 rpm. Its digital timer can be programmed for a specific run time. Once the run is complete, the unit will stop and sound an alarm to notify the user. The unit can be operated in many environments, including a cold room and an incubator. Its four interchangeable platforms can accommodate a wide variety of bottles, flasks, tubes and beakers.

Symyx Technologies

Symyx Notebook
The Symyx Notebook is a software tool that simplifies laboratory operations by helping scientists and engineers organize their research and data. It lowers costs by enabling R&D organizations to replace multiple discipline-specific electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) with a single, multi-discipline application that is deployable across an entire enterprise. This ELN was designed in collaboration with many large pharmaceutical and chemical companies so that its usefulness would extend beyond the laboratory setting.

Severn Trent Services

SC400 handheld Calorimeters
The SC400 handheld calorimeters are rugged, waterproof, single-parameter instruments designed for use in laboratory and field testing. Four types are available: chlorine ( free and total); chlorine dioxide; ammonia; and fluoride. The instruments feature easy four-button operation; a large back-lit, highly visible, indigo blue display; a real-time clock; and 16-set data logging capability. These features are superior to what is offered with most price-competitive units. The system also has a user-calibration mode that permits calibration with respect to prepared standards. Using the manufacturer's Power Pack reagent chemistries, the calorimeters can be taken wherever residual values need to be monitored.

Warner Instruments

CV-30 live-cell imaging chamber
The CV-30 live-cell imaging chamber is compatible with any microscope stage capable of accepting a multi-well plate. It features a user-defined bath geometry, bath volume, and a large viewing area. A 0.17-mm-thick glass coverslip forms the top of the chamber and a 1.0-mm-thick round coverslip forms the chamber bottom. The CV-30 is compatible with CytoViva’s high-resolution imaging system, so it can be used for simultaneous observation of fluorescent and non-fluorescent samples.

Hach Co.

Xenosep SPE systems
Xenosep SPE (solid phase extraction) systems allow users to perform their own oil and grease analyses, eliminating the need to outsource sample analysis. A Xenosep kit can filter national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) wastewater samples and remove trapped oil and grease from the SPE filter with hexane. Then the extract can be concentrated to determine the residual analyte weight.

No. 825 walk-in electric oven
The No. 825 walk-in electric oven operates at up to 500ºF and can cure latex in the laboratory, eliminating the need to send it off-site. Inner workspace dimensions measure 54 in. wide × 72 in. deep × 72 in. high. Incoloy-sheathed tubular heating elements house 30 kW of power, and a 6,000 ft3/min, 5 HP recirculating blower provides horizontal airflow across the workload. Construction features include 4-in.-thick insulated walls, a 2-in. insulated floor with truck wheel-guide tracks, an aluminized steel exterior, a Type 304 2B stainless steel interior with continuous front-welded seams, a cellular silicone rubber door gasket, a stainless steel water cooling coil located in the heating chamber, and a removable top-mounted heating chamber. The oven includes such safety features as a digital programmable temperature controller, a manual-reset excess-temperature controller with separate heating-element-control contractors, a recirculating-airflow blower safety switch, a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller, and a 6-in. stripchart recorder

WinWare Inc.

The Accu-Cab RFID cabinet
The Accu-Cab RFID (radio-frequency identification) cabinet manages tooling, spare parts and materials at their point of use. The heavy-duty, double-walled cabinet is equipped internally with four RFID antennae and an electromagnetic door lock. To gain access, users must identify themselves, either on a touch-screen monitor mounted on the door or by scanning a bar-code or proximity badge. The contents of the cabinet are tagged using passive Gen 2 tags and are located on adjustable shelving. After an item is removed and the cabinet door is shut, inventory levels are automatically adjusted; the opposite takes place when an item is returned to the cabinet. Customers may request the installation of clear doors, which allow for quicker transactions because item locations can be seen before the door is opened. The cabinet is managed with CribMaster software, which provides all the functionality that is needed to handle any type of indirect (not part of the final product) material.
