PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

LC Systems for any Aplication or Budget
New levels of performance in analytical HPLC and UHPLC

The 1200 Infinity Series of LC systems from Agilent Technologies includes three models that offer seamless integration of column technology, instrumentation and software for maximum productivity. The series features upgraded detectors, pumps and autosamplers for higher sensitivity and detection speeds, and is fully compatible with modern column technology.

The 1220 and 1260 models support a 600 bar pressure range and 80 Hz data acquisition rate, allowing for the use of sub-2 micron particle columns. The 1220 Infinity LC is well-suited to routine HPLC and advanced RRLC analyses, while the 1260 Infinity LC pushes RRLC performance even further. Both models are fully compatible with HPLC methods, ensuring risk-free replacement or upgrades of existing 1100 or 1200 Series instruments.

Dr. Michael Frank, Product Manager HPLC Systems & Solutions at Agilent, says the 1200 Infinity LC Series offers the highest flexibility. “The customer can decide… if he wants to continue running conventional LC methods or use new UHPLC methods, or both—on the same system,” he said. And since the 1260 Infinity LC modules are exchangeable, “it’s possible to upgrade an existing 15-year-old 1100 Series LC with a new 1260 Infinity DAD and achieve a 10-fold sensitivity gain,” he added.

The 1290 Infinity LC delivers the highest performance, with a power range up to 1200 bar pressure and a 160 Hz detection speed. The 1260 and 1290 models are compatible with all Agilent 6000 Series mass detectors.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Eco-Friendly Laboratory Bath
Waterless Alternative to Contamination-Prone Water Baths

The Bead Bath waterless laboratory bath from Lab Armor™ provides excellent temperature uniformity while eliminating a major source of contamination in labs— water.

Traditional water baths must be continuously cleaned, refilled and maintained with hazardous disinfectants. Bead Bath is virtually maintenance-free, and since it’s always on, users don’t have to plan around warm-up times. Also, since there is no water to evaporate, there is no need to worry about burnout.

Bead Bath is designed for use with proprietary beads, which naturally hold items in place, so there is no need for racks, floats and bottleneck weights. Users can also safely incubate multi-well plates, Petri dishes and open-top samples. Lab Armor Beads are eco-friendly and can replace water in existing baths, aluminum blocks in dry baths, and they can even replace ice in ice buckets. They can also be used in containers placed in ovens and incubators, to replace sample racks.

Bead Bath’s thermal uniformity is ±0.5°C at 37°C and ±1.0 at 65°C, with a temperature range of 5°C above ambient to 80°C. Lab Armor Beads support a wide temperature range of -100°C to 400°C. Bead Bath’s capacity is 12 liters of beads, which are included with the device

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Upgraded Data Cartridge
Bridge the Gap Between Bioinformatics and Cheminformatics

The Symyx Direct 7.0 data cartridge aims to improve R&D efficiency, project team collaboration and IP management by enabling project teams to visualize and compare macromolecular sequences and chemical structures stored in a fully searchable corporate registry system.

The software features a new storage format for chemically modified biological sequences that combines the compactness of a traditional sequence with the precision of a traditional chemical structure format.

Symyx Direct 7.0 supports natural post-translational modifications (PTM) and custom modifications, and allows both small molecule entities and biological sequences to be stored and accessed using the same applications, reducing the need for user training.

“Biologics constitute a large and growing component of the pipelines of drug companies,” said Keith Taylor, Product Manager, Cheminformatics, at Symyx. “The simplicity of one repository ensures that information is not missed.”

Symyx Direct 7.0 allows scientists to determine the uniqueness of a substance quickly and precisely. “This… allows the activities of chemically modified sequences to be directly compared with the properties imparted by the modifications,” added Taylor.

The software’s hybrid representation combines the best features of bioinformatics and cheminformatics notations and enables scientists to register and retrieve molecules, reactions and biomolecular sequences, as well as develop structure-activity correlations in sequences.
