ICP-MS For Elemental Analysis
Triple-Cone Technology Delivers Improved Stability

The NexION 300™ inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer from PerkinElmer, with Universal Cell Technology, features three modes of operation—Standard, Collision and Reaction— and can be quickly switched from one mode to another, allowing users to choose the proper method for a specific sample or application.

Standard Mode is ideal for simple and routine analyses while Collision Mode—with Kinetic Energy Discrimination—is useful for semiquantitative analyses, environmental sample monitoring and testing unfamiliar samples. Reaction Mode, featuring a scanning quadrupole, offers the ultimate detection limits for difficult elements, such as arsenic, magnesium and chromium.

“This allows the user to select the best technique for his/her needs in a good, better, best approach,” said Chuck Schneider, Inorganic Business Manager at PerkinElmer. “The combination of triple cone technology and quadrupole ion deflector deliver dramatically improved stability.”

In addition to the sampler cone and skimmer cone generally found on other ICP-MS systems, NexION 300 also features a hyper-skimmer cone for a tightly defined ion beam.

The device has been engineered to remove un-ionized material so that its cell does not require routine cleaning. “This allows more uptime for the lab, which translates into improved sample throughput,” added Schneider

Benchtop CO2 Incubator
Super Fast Moist Heat Decontamination Cycle

Caron Products’ Oasis™ benchtop CO2 incubator provides a safe and accurately controlled environment for cell and tissue cultures to thrive. The 6 cu. ft. incubator maintains high relative humidity and accurately controls temperature and CO2. Made of high-grade stainless steel, the unit features infrared sensor CO2 control, direct heat and high relative humidity.

The exterior is powder-coated with ISOCIDE antimicrobial paint to protect the unit from contamination. In the event of contamination, the push of a button will trigger an overnight sanitization cycle to clean the unit, followed by a drying cycle which pumps in HEPA-filtered air, eliminating the need for cleanup.

“Other cycles require the end user to pump moisture out of the chamber and wipe the interior down, which is a very messy process,” said Dave Figel, VP of Engineering and Operations at Caron Products. “Our [decontamination] cycle… literally dries the interior so you don’t have to!”

Oasis comes with user-friendly features and optional accessories to customize the incubator to each user’s needs. “Our goal… is to incorporate the safest environment in the benchtop CO2 incubator market,” added Figel. “It is also stackable, so customers can double their workspace without taking up additional lab space.”

Laser Scanning Microplate Cytometer
Ideal for mix-and-read assays

The Mirrorball™ laser scanning microplate cytometer from TTP LabTech was designed with the needs of the antibody discovery industry in mind. Performing assays in microplate format, the device offers simultaneous laser scanning for greater multiplexing and higher throughput.

Mirrorball features simultaneous, dual-laser excitation and multicolor fluorescence detection properties, and is sensitive enough to detect low abundance antigens, such as cell surface proteins, making it ideal for mix-and-read assays for hybridoma screening and cell-surface receptor expression.

Wayne Bowen, Chief Scientific Officer for TTP LabTech, based in the United Kingdom, says that Mirrorball can make a laboratory much more efficient. “Since there are two lasers in the system, you can speed up your data generation,” he said. “You can scan simultaneously and correlate data across lasers.”

Mirrorball achieves low autofluorescence through proprietary low loss optics and red 640 nm laser excitation, resulting in high signal to noise ratio and robust data generation. In addition to improved object recognition, Mirrorball’s fluorescence detection is comparable to that of the discontinued ABI 8200 Cellular Detection system (FMAT®).

“There was a demand for this technology,” said Bowen. “Mirrorball and FMAT are able to determine the activity of antibodies using a fluorescence method similar to ELISA, but don’t require the wash steps, which is a benefit for the user.”
