BLOOD GROUPING ANALYSER - PK7300
The new PK7300 from Olympus is a fully automated blood grouping analyser for large blood donation centres. The analyser uses the proven system of haemagglutination in patented terraced micro-plates
to carry out blood grouping. But to support laboratories in meeting IVDD, GLP and GMP requirements, and establishing SOPs for accreditation, extra features for safety and traceability have been built in to both hardware and software.
For the first time, it is possible to directly store raw data as colour digital images of the agglutination plates. The user can view each agglutination pattern as a single well or microplate overview on screen. The images can be stored on hard drive or DVD, or printed out. Long term storage of the data helps with GLP conformance documentation.
The haemagglutination result is automatically calculated based on the measurement of five different parameters – giving several safety checks on each result.
New user-friendly Windows 2000© software – based on that established with the best selling Olympus series of AU clinical chemistry analysers – includes a graphic user interface, touch screen control, simplified results validation procedures, dedicated quality control software, help functions and modem support. Results editing is password protected. Start up, end wash and shut down are software automated. All these features mean that staff can operate the PK7300 with minimal training, and more time can be spent on analysis.
Two independent probes are used for plasma and red cell pipetting. Clot and bubble detection add extra performance protection. Liquid system pressure sensors monitor both pipetting and dispensing steps. Any pipetting malfunction will be recognized by the system and flagged for the user.
Reproducibility of results has been enhanced with optimisation and control of the reaction conditions. The user can define the reagent and sample mixing step by using an air stream, or with a new plate stirrer, or through a flexible combination of both procedures. Duration and amplitude of the mixing can be adjusted.
Peltier elements maintain incubator temperature anywhere from room temperature up to 40 oC thus eliminating any gradient across the chamber. The humidity of the incubator is also adjustable to ensure stable and consistent reaction conditions.
A new built in barcode reader checks primary tubes using ISBT128 or any other commonly used barcode system. Other barcode readers also read barcoded reagent vials and microplates. This gives clear traceability for test results and eliminates reagent mix-ups.
The new PK7300 is 25% faster than its predecessor, processing 300 samples per hour.
The benefits of automated blood grouping deliver clear cost savings for large scale testing. The micro-dispensing system together with terraced microplate technology means that tests can be carried out with highly diluted antisera according to the instructions for use from reagent manufacturers. This means a greatly reduced cost of reagents – typically less than 1% of the cost for conventional testing. Within a very short period PK7300 users will have recovered their capital investment and have huge cost savings thereafter.

CHOCOLATE PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER
Chocolate Particle Size Analyzer
Based on the highly successful Mastersizer Micro, the Chocolate Particle Size Analyzer (CPSA) has been developed in close co-operation with a number of
multinational chocolate companies to provide a universal and consistent means of measuring chocolate products from one laboratory to another and from one country to another.
With an exceptionally small footprint, the CPSA can be set up anywhere. A special macro provided in powerful Malvern Basic within the Sizer Software prompts the operator at every stage of the measurement so that even a first-time user can make a correct measurement.
Single Measurement range.
Measures materials from 0.3 µm to 300 µm.
Dispersion Type.
Wet, Capacity 600 to 1000 ml
Dispersion Mechanism.
An ultrasonic preparation station for successful dispersion of solid chocolate sampled straight from the bar or slab. Stand-alone Small Volume sample circulation unit to minimize solvent consumption. Plumbed-in solvent dispensers streamline the measurement process and assure absolute repeatability of measurements A special high-concentration flow cell allows measurement of optimum sample quantities.
Dispersion control Operation.
Ultrasonics controlled via splash-resistant touch pad on unit. Small volume sample dispersion unit controlled via stand-alone tacho control unit.
User friendly Software.
Configurable for one-button operation. Standard operating routines can be set up to reduce operator error.
Accuracy and Reproducibility.
Accuracy: ± 3% on the Dv50 using Malvern Quality Audit Standards Instrument-to-instrument reproducibility: Better than 3% RSD on the Dv50 of the Malvern Quality Audit Standard.

CO2 INCUBATORS INCO 2
Working for people and for nature
The Memmert CO2 incubators create absolutely reliable environmental conditions for organic loads. Your decision criteria:
3 model sizes (108l, 153l and
246l)
State-of-the-art control technology based on the P performance class for all models
Humidity limit control integrated as standard for all models (active humidity control system at extra charge)
Double doors standard for all models: Prevention of contamination and drops in temperature, with at the same time an optimal view of the sensitive load through wide-area interior glass doors
For all models, the working chamber, including the ventilation system, the water trays and all sensors, can be sterilised in a 4-hr programme at 160 °C using the standard STERICard
For the INCO 2, the tried and tested Memmert heating concept was again perfected: heating the working chamber from all six sides, along with the electronic humidity limit control, is decisive in preventing condensation from forming in the working chamber. An aluminium thermal conduction layer supports the optimal temperature uniformity, and serves as a heat accumulator if there is a temporary power failure. The turbulence-free interior ventilation ensures a constant and uniform atmosphere.
With the help of our model selection you can find the right model for your needs, with dimensioned model sketches and extensive technical data for download. We are convinced that the flexibility and technical features of our appliances meet all possible needs. Put us to the test!
60 years of permanent development work, as well as numerous amounts of feedback from practical experience are embodied in each of our appliances:
The modular manufacturing concept in accordance with the principle of equal parts enables a highly varied and cost-effective series production
Almost exclusive use of high-quality, corrosion-resistant and easily cleanable stainless steel for the working chamber and housing
A wide range of options for programming and documentation using interfaces, Celsius software, integrated log memory and chip cards
CO2 incubators are safety-tested and bear the sign

FILTERSYS™ MOBILE PHASE FILTRATION SYSTEM
All-Glass Vacuum Mobile Phase Filtration System
Prevents pump and system component damage
Rapid ?ltration of buffers, organics and corrosive liquids
Removes damaging microparticulates and bacterial
contaminants
HPLC and GC solvent and sample ?ltration, 1 to 4 L units
WARNING: The apparatus should be used with a water aspiration line, not a true vacuum line, unless secured behind an appropriate safety shield.
Designed for rapid ?ltration of particulate matter from HPLC solvents, this unit is an excellent value. Protect your instrument and column from costly damage by clarifying all your HPLC solvents and buffer solutions before use. This vacuum ?lter assembly comes with a sample reservoir and receiving ?ask. A 47 mm diameter membrane ?lter is placed between the fritted-glass support base and the sample reservoir, secured in place by an aluminum clamp. The support base itself is connected to the receiving ?ask by a vacuum-tight ground-glass joint. Only low-extractable borosilicate glass and the membrane ?lter come into contact with the mobile phase. The vacuum hose connection is made above the ?ltration drip tip to prevent contamination from the vacuum line.
Recommended ?lter membranes: Nylon 66® is a highly resistant material and can be used with almost all laboratory solvents.Since Nylon 66 is hydrophilic, no prewetting of the ?lter is required. PTFE (Te?on®)membrane ?lters are excellent for organic or other aggressive solvent systems. Extremely low levels of extractables (plasticizers, contaminants, etc.) make this an excellent ?lter for trace analysis work. PTFE is hydrophobic, so it is not recommended for the ?ltration of aqueous solutions.
