Biological Research Products Catalog

March 5, 2012

Over 2,500 items designed for genomic, molecular biology, cell culture and immunological research are included in this catalog, which provides product descriptions as well as use and care information. Among the new products featured are flasks treated to optimize cell attachment and growth, microarray slides, sample plates, and bottles with vented closures.

ActiFlow smart bulk-solids activator

March 5, 2012

The ActiFlow smart bulk-solids activator is a non-product-contact device that prevents bridging and ratholing of cohesive bulk materials in stainless steel hoppers. It eliminates the need for mechanical agitators with secondary motors and gearboxes, as well as the need for flexible side-wall agitation devices or aeration pads. The self-tuning algorithm in the control module continuously monitors the system and adjusts the frequency and amplitude to maintain flow.

The FlowCytoPrep5000 (FCP5000) sample-preparation system

March 5, 2012

The FlowCytoPrep5000 (FCP5000) sample-preparation system is designed to allow automated sampling, automated sample preparation, automated injection, and real-time flow cytometry analysis. It is ideal for advanced cell-culture monitoring and bioreactor control in both R&D and manufacturing applications. The system interfaces with existing commercially available flow cytometers and has an on-board computer with user-friendly software. Its patented micro-chamber reactor technology was developed at the Univ. of Minnesota’s Biotechnology Institute.

CEL-620B sound meter

March 5, 2012

The CEL-620B wide-range (20–140 dB) integrating sound meter features real-time octave band frequency analysis from 16 Hz to 16 kHz, along with a full-color liquid crystal display that presents overall noise levels in numerical and graphical formats. It is designed to digitally measure sound levels in factories, refineries, construction sites and other industrial workplaces where noise can be a problem. It displays the previous minute’s readings, allowing the user to view trends and pinpoint significant events when levels rise above background levels.

Biofuels Analysis brochure

March 5, 2012

For laboratories already engaged in biofuels analysis or for those just starting up in this rapidly growing industry, PerkinElmer has developed a new brochure to help outline and navigate the range of analysis tools available to test biofuels according to required methods and to ensure regulatory compliance. The “Biofuels Analysis” brochure outlines the standards required to meet ASTM, EN and other compliance requirements for biodiesel and ethanol used for fuel.

Choosing the Right Instrument Vendor for Complete, Cost-Effective Compliance

March 5, 2012

Titled “Choosing the Right Instrument Vendor for Complete, Cost-Effective Compliance,” this 19-page publication provides a thorough understanding of compliance basics to help laboratory managers, chief scientists and regulatory specialists determine the real value of an instrument vendor’s compliance capabilities and better evaluate their spectroscopy systems.

PL-950 Series hybrid inline palletizer

March 5, 2012

The PL-950 Series hybrid inline palletizer uses robotic arms for pattern-forming, making it suitable for handling small case sizes, multiple product formats, and complex patterns. It achieves packaging rates in excess of 100 cases/min. Its human-machine interface (HMI) allows users to program new patterns for easy reconfiguration and quick line changeover. Two models are available, each with an option of one or two robotic arms.

ISA100.11a Integration Kit

March 5, 2012

The ISA100.11a Integration Kit acts as a complete end-to-end system, including backbone router, gateway, system manager and security manager processes. It provides wireless monitoring and control over industrial and commercial applications with a standards-based, reliable network. The system architecture supports ISA100.11a, WirelessHART or both protocol stacks simultaneously.

JACE-2 and JACE-6 controllers

March 5, 2012

JACE-2 and JACE-6 controllers now feature a general packet radio service (GPRS) modem option that allows wireless (e.g., cellular) connection, which is useful where connectivity to an Internet service provider (ISP) is unavailable or impractical. This modem allows the controllers to be integrated with other system components via virtual private networks (VPNs) for system expansion by combining local area network / wide area network (LAN/WAN) connectivity with cellular connectivity.

FS00Z float level switches

March 5, 2012

FS00Z float level switches have a polypropylene housing with an integrated, water-tight and position-dependent electromechanical switch. The vertical position of the hollow float changes with the level of the liquid media, and when it reaches an angle of 45 deg. from horizontal, switching occurs. The switch point is defined by manipulating the placement of a ballast weight on a connecting cable or by inserting a cable through a tube of the desired length.
