Advanced features in a balance that’s compact and durable H
ighland precision compact balances provide a wide variety of features designed to streamline complex weighing tasks in scientific settings. With strong ABS construction, an audible alarm that warns users if capacity is exceeded and its ShockProtect feature offering advanced overload protection, the Highland is suitable for rigorous weighing demands in laboratories or in the field. The stainless-steel pan is resistant to corrosive materials and easy to clean. Models include capacities between 120g to 3 000g, with 0.001g to 0.1g readabilities. Percentage weighing simplifies formulation applications for creating
ointments, medical compounds, or chemical mixtures, while the accumulation feature allows users to keep a running total of the weight. Parts counting can streamline compounding tasks or pill packaging for pharmaceutical applications. Below-balance weighing allows for density measurements and specific gravity calculations. HandiCal ensures internal calibration can be done without external weights, which can come in handy in busy labs. The draft shield helps prevent samples from being moved due to vibrations and air currents, and the balances can be stacked during storage without damaging the load cells. For true portability, the balance’s internal battery can last up to 24 hours. RS-232 and USB interfaces allow for
data communication with computers, printers, and data collection software like AdamDU. They are frequently used in material testing, manufacturing, jewellery and education. Like all Adam balances and scales, Highland balances are compliant with the latest NRCS regulations regarding electrical safety standards. For more information visit: https://bit.ly/2JWP0EB.

Rigorous high-performance separation meets ease of use in new PerkinElmer LC solution
L
iquid chromatography solutions continue to evolve in important ways as labs look to improve high performance separation workflows. Helping to advance innovation, PerkinElmer’s LC 300 platform and SimplicityChrom software is the company’s newest LC solution
that merges advanced HPLC and UHPLC capabilities with intuitive instrument control and data analysis. Designed for customers across food, cannabis, pharmaceutical and chemical laboratories the LC 300 enables accelerated throughput, streamlined testing, and user-friendly operation. For example, meeting quality and regulatory goals and requirements is faster and easier when leveraging this new technology to test and analyse additives in food, potency in cannabis edibles, the purity of drug excipients, and preservatives in cosmetics.
Reliable overhead stirrers with excellent performance for everyday use
O
haus Achiever 5000 overhead stirrers are designed for powerful, precise stirring, as well as safety and simplicity in all applications. The sealed design has an IP54 rating and ensures safe mixing performance even in the most demanding applications. The keyless chuck and software-controlled speed ramping provide easy set up and safe stirring to protect the sample and user. Select from five models with up to 200Ncm torque and up to 100L volume capacity. Unique features: • Powerful mixing and constant speed assured with the brushless motor and torque compensation technology delivering accurate, controlled stirring
of viscous liquids with quiet operation • Simplify set up with the keyless chuck no tools required. Change shafts quickly and easily with one handed operation. This unique design will save time and effort for everyone in the lab • Designed for safety. The lock button prevents accidental speed changes and the motor’s overload sensing technology simply shuts off stirring, before an overload condition occurs, to protect the sample • Compact and easy to use. Simple knob control combined with the bright digital display allows for precise setting and monitoring. Customise for your application with over 12 accessories.
The LC 300 system’s autosampler includes a built-in column oven and highvisibility, colour LCD screen for displaying key status information without the need to log into chromatography data system (CDS) software. Based on in-depth LC interface and user experience studies, the LC 300’s SimplicityChrom software delivers intuitive and customisable workflows to enhance productivity and streamline sample analysis. It also provides the tools needed to ensure 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, and proactive alerts on consumable usage and required maintenance for minimal downtime and less effort and investment than traditional LC solutions.
Finally, the solution was engineered for rapid installation, and together with PerkinElmer’s portfolio of applications, training programs, consumables and OneSource Laboratory Services, customers can quickly build or transfer their methods.

Waters Radian ASAP for rapid direct analysis
T
he new Waters Radian ASAP system is a novel direct mass detector engineered for non-mass spectrometry (MS) experts to conduct fast and accurate analyses of solids and liquids with minimal sample prep. The Waters Radian ASAP system’s high-quality, simplified and rapid operation, compact design and powerful software capabilities for real-time data visualisation, offers advantages and numerous test case scenarios for laboratories across a multitude of industries, including pharmaceuticals, forensics, food & beverage, chemicals & materials, and academia. Engineered using proven and robust single quadrupole MS technology, and combined with a dedicated Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe (ASAP) source, the
Radian ASAP system achieves results in seconds after a sample is loaded into the system. Gaseous analyte molecules are ionised by N2 plasma, guided into the instrument and separated by their mass-tocharge ratio. Users obtain real-time sample classification and quality assessment in less than a minute, without the need for a chromatographic separation, conserving the time and resources traditionally lost to sample preparation. The Radian ASAP system is compatible with a variety of Waters software solutions, including OpenLynx, MassLynx, IonLynx and LiveID. The Radian ASAP system’s automated set-up, streamlined workflow and easy operation with minimal training offers laboratories a flexible tool to meet rising demands without sacrificing on analytical performance.
