Pipette Biohit Inc. has introduced a new eLINE Pipette with a range from 0.1 µl to 5 µl and super pipetting feature. Extremely rapid piston movement allows complete emptying of the tip, making it possible to dispense the very small volumes from the air which is not possible with the regular pipettes. Pipetting small volumes against receiving vessel wall or under the liquid surface to get all liquid out of the tip causes contamination risk, decreased precision, and slow pipetting work. Usually contaminations can be avoided by changing the tip between dispensing, but with the eLINE 0.1 - 5 µl dispensing from the air enables continuous work with the same tip as there’s no need to touch the vessel or liquid. The super pipetting feature makes it possible to get the dispensed volume inside e.g. the microplate well when the problem is the electricity of the microplate causing the drop stick to the surface of the well. reply Card #4927

Workstation The Shimadzu Perfinity

workstation automates protein sample preparation, allowing users to start with serum and have peptides ready for LC-MS analysis in as little as ten minutes. In addition to a dramatic reduction in sample prep time, the system generates CV values of less than ten per cent for the overall process of affinity selection, proteolysis, and peptide assay. This automated process removes much of the equipment and manual labor associated with more common sample preparation techniques of proteins for LCMS analysis, freeing the scientist up to dedicate more time to more intellectually challenging activities. reply Card #4928

Mobility Instrument Wyatt Technol-

ogy Corporation Möbius™ electrophoretic mobility instrument can measure precise protein charges. With innovative optical design, Möbius boosts the sensitivity of mobility measurements, enabling protein net charge characterization at much lower concentrations than previously possible. The key to the successful measurement of a proteins’ mobility lies in a much shortened measurement time and the availability of sufficient data to average away molecular diffusion. The Möbius achieves these goals through massive parallelism of its light scattering detection and extends the measurable molecular size range below two nm. A reduced measurement time of fewer than 60 seconds, in most cases, contributes to excellent preservation of precious and fragile protein samples. The instrument also features a temperature control capability, making it suitable for performing automated temperature studies.

EASY-nLC 1000 The Thermo Scientific EASY-nLC 1000 is the newest addition to the EASY-nLC family of nano-LC products. The EASY-nLC 1000 is unique in its ability to facilitate dedicated separation of biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, at ultra-high pressures. The instrument can seamlessly integrate with the complete range of Thermo Scientific mass spectrometry (MS) systems for instant, trouble-free operation and uses shorter gradients on 50 µm UHPLC columns with 1.9 µm beads. The EASY-nLC 1000 facilitates peptide and protein identifications by providing higher pressure ratings, along with independent and simultaneous variations of bead size and column length. The device operates on the Thermo Scientific Xcalibur software platform, easily connecting and interfacing with the full suite of Thermo Scientific LC-MS systems. Additionally, the split-free, nano-flow capability of the new system provides excellent retention-time reproducibility (below 0.4 per cent RSD), even for very complex samples. The simple integrated configuration is both easy-to-use and robust.

Log-EZ The log-EZ from TandD Corp. can be easily used to measure and record temperature and humidity in various places such as laboratories, production facilities, warehouses, office buildings, homes or any location where these parameters are important. The range of each log-EZ is up to 150 ft. and up to 16 loggers can be connected to a single system. By “daisychaining” the individual loggers, communication over a considerable distance can be achieved. Wireless communication makes data transmission easy and simple with no need for cables or gathering the log-EZ units to collect the data. The units have a temperature range of 0 to 50°C (±1°C) and a humidity range of 15 to 90% RH (±6%RH), which are can be viewed on a large and easy to read LCD display. The log-EZ records data and can store 1,440 readings. Current readings can be viewed in real-time on a PC, and recorded data can be automatically downloaded and archived for future reference. For ultrasimple setup, the kit includes the RTR-322 recorder, the RTR-320 USB transceiver, software and mounting bracket.

JEM-2800 The JEM-2800 is JEOL’s latest addition to its lineup of 100-300kV TEMs and most recently the ARM200F atomic resolution TEM. The JEM-2800 speeds specimen observation through fully automatic functions including adjustment of focus, astigmatism, contrast, brightness, crystal zone axis alignment, and height. Switching between analysis modes is seamless, and quick data collection shortens turnaround time between samples. An operator navigation system and on-screen operating guide make the JEM-2800 a high throughput, user-friendly TEM for any skill level. Additional features and key specifications of the JEM-2800 include a Schottky field-emission electron gun, highly stable eucentric side-entry goniometer stage, a magnification range of 100X to 150,000,000X using STEM, 0.1nm TEM resolution and 0.20nm BF/DF STEM resolution.

Spectrometer The new EDX-LE from Shimadzu Scientific Instruments is an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) fluorescence spectrometer designed specifically for screening elements regulated by RoHS/ELV directives. Its automated analysis functions improve operability without sacrificing a high level of inspection reliability. The EDX-LE is equipped with a detector that does not require liquid nitrogen, thereby achieving lower operational costs and easier maintenance. It has been optimized for the RoHS/ELV screening of materials, individual parts and other samples that are substantially homogenous. The spectrometer is suited to screening a limited range of samples for fixed control criteria. Additionally, the EDX-LE offers various features that promote simple screening. Users can customize the easy set-up functions according to the management method. Threshold values can be set for each material or element, and the screening judgment also can be changed according to the input method used for threshold values.

Pipette The new Thermo Scientific F1ClipTip pipette and tip system is the latest addition to a new generation of Thermo Fisher Scientific ergonomic products. The F1-ClipTip™ system provides extremely light-touch dispensing and tip ejection for superior ergonomic performance. The manual liquid handling system includes all of the proven features of the Thermo Scientific F1 pipettes, but adds an innovative tip interface that takes pipetting to new levels of liquid dispensing consistency. ClipTip pipette tips have a hydrophobic inner surface to prevent liquid retention, while optional filter tips use the aerosol resistant tip (ART) self-sealing barrier to reduce cross-contamination. With the new F1-ClipTip pipette and tip system, users can clip it and forget it. It’s that simple. As a complete system for secure pipetting, the pipettes and tips are available in a variety of formats or as a Good Laboratory Pipetting (GLP) Kit. reply Card #4934
