Powerful Through-pore Size Analyzers

High-resolution Mass Flow Sensors Ensure Accurate Pore Analyses

The 3G Series of through-pore size analyzers (porometers) from Quantachrome Instruments includes four models which accommodate different pressures/pore sizes and flow rate ranges for a wide range of applications. Each unit consists of pressure control, pressure and flow sensing, sample holder, control and data acquisition software and a built-in coalescing particle filter.

The 3G micro, which accommodates small to medium pore sizes, is suitable for a variety of woven and non-woven materials. The 3G macro model features low pressure and high flow rate capabilities. Suitable for materials like diapers, wipes and air filters, it allows for high resolution pore size measurements up to 500 μm.

The 3G z model is ideal for samples of controlled geometric size and through-porosity and the 3G zh, the flagship porometer, features the widest pore size measurement range in the series, making it appropriate for research applications.

Dr. Martin Thomas, Director of Business Development, Quantachrome Instruments, says intelligent algorithms make the 3G series of porometers stand out. In dynamic gas flow systems it isnt easy to get good readings close to the sample, he said. The 3G has overcome that limitation, without changing the overall form factor.

The 3G series of benchtop porometers require very little operator intervention. Operating under 3GWin software, users can obtain high-resolution, real-time data and statistical calculations.

Thermostatic Laboratory Chillers

Fast Temperature Ramp-Up and Cool-Down

The new Polar series of thermostatic plug-and-play laboratory chillers from Thermo Fisher Scientific offer full-range cooling for quick ramp-up and cool-down. Available in two models—the Accel 250, with 250 watts of cooling, and the Accel 500, with 500 watts—they are suitable for various applications.

Featuring a temperature range from -10°C to 80°C, the Polar series lets users select the optimal set point for each application. There are five set points available.

The Polar series offers full range cooling. With this convenient feature, customers can rapidly cool their application down from 80°C utilizing the refrigeration system while many other chillers require they be cooled down to 40°C before the refrigeration compressor can be turned on.

For greater ease of use, all operational and preventative maintenance takes place via the front panel interface. The included air-cooled refrigeration system eliminates the need for an external water source. Also integrated into the system is a fill port, drain and site tube design for quick and easy operation.

The Polar series chillers are programmable, allowing users to simply set required temperature parameters. With a compact footprint and low noise level—less than 58dBA—the chillers can be placed directly in the lab for added convenience. An energy-saving mode is also available.

The Polar series is ideal for a wide variety of applications, including chemical reaction control, separations, spectroscopy and surface science.

System for Live Cell Imaging

High-performance Imaging in Brightfield, Phase, DIC and Fluorescence

The new BioFlux 1000Z from Fluxion Biosciences is a fully integrated high-content screening platform for cellular analysis under shear flow, featuring an imaging workstation based on the AxioObserver microscope from Carl Zeiss.

Featuring proprietary Well Plate Microfluidic™ technology, the BioFlux 1000Z’s automated microscopy system enables high-throughput shear flow assays. The automated microscopy station provides high-performance imaging in brightfield, phase, DIC and fluorescence. An integrated CCD camera permits high-resolution, low-noise data acquisition.

“Typical flow cell systems require cumbersome protocols for setup, experimental runs, and cleaning/sterilization,” said Michael Schwartz, Program Director, Fluxion Biosciences. “BioFlux 1000Z saves time and effort since the system is already pre-configured and ready to go to work for a variety of validated cellular assays.”

The integrated experiment scheduler allows for unattended imaging and overnight assays for kinetic and time-lapse high-content screens. BioFlux Montage software offers control for all components in a single package. All screening experiments and analysis is controlled from a single user interface.

Able to run up to 96 shear flow assays in parallel, the BioFlux 1000Z is ideal for life science research and drug discovery applications, including cell and platelet adhesion, biofilms, stem cell research and cell migration and invasion.
