Dual Light Makes it Right

Particle size analyzer combines two light scattering measurements in a single optical system

Visitors to Pittcon 2012 will have a chance to check out a breakthrough technology in Cilas Particle Size’s NanoDS dual light scattering particle size analyzer. The system is the first to combine dynamic light scattering and static light scattering measurement in one single optical system, providing repeatability and accuracy across the entire 0.3 nm to 10 μm size range.

“Traditional nano particle size analyzers use only dynamic light scattering technology, which limits the size range of the particles they can measure,” Cilas project manager Jean-Paul DuFour said. “By combining DLS and SLS in one measurement system, the Cilas NanoDS can measure and analyze a wider range of particles.”

He added that combination means labs won’t have to purchase two different instruments, saving money, space needs, and training time. The NanoDS offers a number of other advantages in addition to being able to both measure fine particles and characterize coarse ones:

“If a user is measuring a sample with a multi-modal distribution, the NanoDS is able to analyze the sample in a single measurement,” he said. “This means the user only needs to prepare one sample cuvette and only needs to learn one software to make all their measurements.”

Because the NanoDS software runs DLS and SLS in one step, less time is taken up and greater accuracy is ensured since the exact same sample cuvette is being used for both measurement types, Mr. DuFour explained.

He added the analyzer is particularly well-suited to research and development as well as quality or process control.

Get Smart with Sample Storage

Automated freezer makes life easier in the lab

The SmartFreezer from RURO and Angelantoni is the only fully automated freezer that individually stores and retrieves sample vials at temperatures of -80°C, using a traditional mechanical freezer, or at -180°C using a liquid nitrogen tank (vapor phase).

RURO VP of operations Vera Terekhina said the SmartFreezer offers a number of improvements in the lab.

“The SmartFreezer allows a hands-free retrieval of the vials, and is performed by a robotic arm that is a part of the device,” she said. “Furthermore, it is integrated with an inventory system — FreezerPro — that enables a seamless integration between the SmartFreezer, the inventory software and the mechanical freezers in the facility. Hence, lab personnel always know where the inventory is located without having to open any actual freezers.”

The system is also speedy; for example, a tray of five vials can be loaded or retrieved in 30-60 seconds, Ms. Terekhina added.

She said any modern research laboratory would be a good fit for the SmartFreezer, including labs that work with cell lines, biorepositories and pharma companies.

Though the SmartFreezer is a bit more expensive than the standard mechanical freezer, Ms. Terekhina said the investment is worth it as it pays for itself in under a year.

“The SmartFreezer permits lab personnel to quickly locate their placement of their inventory without opening the device, thus providing safety and security compliance,” she said. “It also gives a “bird’s eye view” to the managing personnel.”

In addition, the freezer is independently validated and certified to be fully compliant with the FDA’s current GLP/GMP requirements.
