Sometime some error being detected done by operator or labs technician. Their hurried testing has taken all their reliable precautions.

The PMA-4 flash point tester from Petrolab Co. is suited for determining Pensky-Martens (ASTM D93) flash point automatically, eliminating operator bias. The a flame thermo-detector above the test cup. In addition, the time interval between two consecutive flash point tests is reduced to a minimum with the multi-function head. The instrument may be used with a 7- or 70-mL sample size and is available with a 12-position test cup sample changer, saving time and money.

Also available, the CLA 4 Cleveland open-cup tester is a fully automatic digital tester for ASTM D92 flash and fire point analysis of liquids, as well as highly viscous or solid samples measuring flashpoint in the range of 60 to 400 C.

The TAG-4 flash point tester is specialized for automatic low-temperature flash point determination according to ASTM D56. The user simply types in the expected flash point temperature and presses the “run” button. The instrument has an operating temperature range of -20 to 93 C (-4 to 200 F).

Cell Disrupter and Grinder

2009-11-03T00:21:00.000-08:00

This small-sample cell disrupter and grinder is suited for screening milligram quantities of tissue and micro-organisms, the µ-MiniBeadbeater from BioSpec Products efficiently and safely disrupts spores, bacteria, yeast, plant and animal tissue. This compact machine uses the same high-energy homogenization process as its predecessors.

A micro vial is loaded with a large number of tiny ceramic beads, and the contents are violently shaken for 1 to 3 min to achieve +95% cell disruption. The vials and beads are disposable, making the method suitable for PAGE, PCR and probe applications where cross contamination between samples cannot be tolerated. The cell disrupter and grinder is also compatible with phenol, Gu-SCN or various commercial kit solutions. RNA/DNA is recovered quickly in the highest possible yields by doing the cell disruption and nucleic acid extraction simultaneously. Extraction in organic solvents or dry- or cryo-grinding is also possible.

Polilight PL500

2007-10-20T20:58:00.000-07:00

The Polilight 500 is a high-intensity light source based on a 500-watt xenon arc lamp. This type of lamp delivers UV, visible, and infrared light. A special characteristic of the light output in the visible region is that the intensity of light is the same in the whole spectrum, just like sun light. This is in contrast with halogen lamps that deliver progressively more light, going from blue (low wavelength) to red (high wavelength).

Apart from white light, the Polilight 500 has 11 selectable wavebands (from UV to red light). With filter tuning, any narrow band of light (with width of about 40 nm) in the visible spectrum can be selected.

The waveband is selected either by using the buttons on the front panel, or stepwise with the remote control (2 m-long cable). The filter selection and fine tuning are operated internally by stepper motors. The remote control is attached to the unit through a RS232 port.

This port can also be used for operating the PL500 from a computer (using optionally available software). Also available is a security code option that uses the filter selection buttons. This option will prevent unauthorized persons from switching on the instrument.

With the remote control or the buttons on the front panel, the light power can also be tuned (8 settings, from about 15 to 100% in equal increments).
