Molecular Design and 3D SAR

software version 3.0 of Cresset’s fieldAlign package enables support for the cloud and native support for Mac. The software can be deployed as both a traditional desktop application or as a command-line application distributed onto large computing servers. fieldAlign is a molecular design and 3D Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) tool used to create biologically relevant molecular comparisons. The designs can be leveraged by chemists to find the rot causes of activity or inactivity. This ability allows chemists to gain a detailed understanding of SAR of their lead molecules and to use this to design the best next synthesis. version 3.0 includes new command line interface support for scripting and workflow systems and also the use of tables, which will allow filtering and sorting of lead molecules using imported data or standard physical properties. version 3.0 also includes a new molecule editor and multi-processor support.

Data Loggers The new TR-5i compact data logging system which includes new IrDA communications capability with an expanded handheld data shuttle, the TR-57DCi. The data shuttle has been updated with IrDA capability and the compatibility to act as a graphic data shuttle with all TandD TR-7U data loggers. The infrared communications function now makes it possible to download recorded data from the loggers without ever having to physically gather them. The loggers can measure temperatures from −60˚C to +155˚C. Other features include waterproofing, visible alarm indicators, and one or two point adjustment functions. Battery life can last up to four years. Reply Card #4823

Sensors The IwfM 08 series of inductive sensors from Baumer offer resultions of <0.001 mm at sensing distances up to 2 mm. IwfM 08 Series sensors feature an integrated 0... 10 v output, which allows them to be directly connected to the analog outputs of a control system and eliminates the need for measuring boards or processing units. These Ip67-rated sensors are contained in die-cast zinc/nickelplated housings that prevent damage during installation and operation. The sensors are designed for use in a wide variety of applications including laboratory automation and medical equipment. Reply Card #4824

Viscosity analysis The m-vROC ana-

lytical system for viscosity measurement from RheoSense has been updated to version 2.5. This is a complete measurement system, equipped with automatic chip recognition and closed-loop temperature control. There is an optional air purge unit and a peltier chiller which can be added to the system. The mechanical and electronic interfaces have also been enhanced. The system is portable for movement between laboratory to production line for important, critical measurements. with its wide measurement range (0.1 to 100k cp viscosity) and high shear rates, the m-vROC is capable of analyzing virtually any liquid viscosity value, Newtonian and non-Newtonian. The proprietary MEMS chip developed by RheoSense, to provide accurate measurement for a variety of liquid products, supports that need with a selection of vROC chips. An automated chip recognition system helps to ensure the system is always set for optimum measurement.

A vROC chip measures the viscosity of a liquid flowing through a fully contained microfluidic cell. This full containment eliminates air interface, a common problem with conventional cone and plate or plate and plate rheometers for protein solutions, surface active materials, and volatile liquids.

Humidity test chamber The HC6

Environmental Humidity Chamber from Sheldon Manufacturing is designed for multiple industrial and biotechnology testing applications. The HC6 floor model has an air-jacket design that evenly disperses air within the walls to maintain uniformity and ensure proper insulation. The HC6 is ideal for running the common 80ºC and 80% humidity test. The HC6 includes microprocessor based pID controllers, a stainless steel chamber, a steam generator that adds heat while humidifying, dual display of temperature and humidity which allows instant access to set point and operating conditions, and a digital countdown timer that displays the time remaining in a test procedure.

Microscope The Carl Zeiss primo vert Monitor is a new generation of compact tissue microscopes, replacing traditional eyepieces with an integrated digital camera and lCD display. The lCD monitor tilts from 45 to 80 degrees allowing for individual posture to be taken into consideration. Documenting images becomes easy with a push-to-save camera and an SD memory card. There is a USB port on the microscopes stand which allows a computer to be connected and images to be processed via the Carl Zeiss Axiovision lE software that is included with the package.
