Cameras FLIR Systems, Inc. has introduced two new high-speed, longwave thermal cameras, the FLIR X6900sc SLS and FLIR X8500sc SLS for science and research applications. The new cameras are based on FLIR’s highest-speed, midwave thermal camera models, but feature strained layer superlattice (SLS) detectors filtered for longwave infrared. These SLS detectors produce high frame rates and wide temperature ranges, as well as integration times that are more than 12 times faster than their midwave counterparts. The X6900sc SLS high-speed longwave thermal camera captures full-frame 640×512 thermal images at 1004 frames per second, at temperatures up to 3000 degrees Celsius. The FLIR DVIR™, a removable storage device that comes standard with the X6900sc SLS, saves up to 26 seconds of data to on-camera RAM without dropping frames. With advanced triggering options and an automatic, fourposition filter wheel, this camera offers the functionality to stop motion on high-speed events both in the lab and at the test range. The X8500sc SLS records up to 181 frames per second of full 1280×1024 HD thermal imagery. This camera also features the FLIR DVIR which saves up to 36 seconds of data to on-camera RAM without dropping frames, and can measure temperatures up to 3000 degrees Celsius. The X8500sc SLS
streams high-speed, 14-bit data simultaneously over Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, and CoaXpress for live viewing, analysis or recording.

Equipped with liquid or glass bead filled bottles which mimic the sample, these thermometers deliver temperature verification without the risk of sample con-
tamination. Multiple models are available with features including dual zone, single or multiple displays, alarms and more.

Syringe Pumps KD Scientific offers its new Gemini 88 plus dual rate syringe pump. This unique pump is really two individual syringe pumps in one instrument, providing two independent pumping channels linked through hardware and software. The pump can infuse simultaneously at different rates, or infuse with one syringe and withdraw with the other. When combined with a valve box, it provides the continuous delivery of a peristaltic or piston pump with the accuracy, absence of pulsation and low flow rates of a syringe pump. This functionality allows continuous infusion or withdrawal, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with the accuracy and low flow of a KD Scientific syringe pump. Other key features include a large touch screen display for quick and easy setup, high
or low pressure operation and continuous fluid delivery. The instrument is compatible with a wide variety of syringes.

have 100 litre capacity and can hold 66 assay plates without stacking. Other applications include incubating marine samples below room temperature, enzyme reactions and deactivations, hybridizations, ligations, and general lab incubations. There are two models. The IN55 is fully programmable for temperature cycling crystals for better growth while the IN50 is simple digital. Both models feature temperature ramping up and down. Chamber size for both is 100 liters. They are settable form 4.0ºC to 70.0ºC and feature temperature control to ± 0.1°C, and can be controlled at or near room temperature. Chamber size is 24″ high by 20″ deep by 14″ wide and come with eight stainless steel racks with room for twelve racks. Racks are split in the middle for variety of sample sizes.

Flow Cabinets Air Science Purair Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinets are designed to protect equipment and other contents of the work zone from particulates, for applications sensitive to such contamination. The cabinets are designed for desktop use, but may be installed on an optional mobile base stand. Users can choose from a standard powder coated interior or stainless steel interior (-SS models). They come in 2′, 3′, 4′, 5′, 6′ and 8′ widths in standard and extra tall heights for general applications. Some of the other features and benefits of the Purair Horizontal LF Series include: a perforated rear wall to reduce work surface turbulence by removing some of the airflow to the rear, a lip on the rear to protect the ULPA filter from spills, and high capacity air handling that delivers flow velocity of 0.350.45 m/s or 70-90 fpm. Other accessories are an IV bar, service fixtures, base stand, UV lamp and front door/cover. The hoods are shipped fully assembled. No installation is required; just plug them in and use them.
