We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "International Standards",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release New ways to upgrade testing machines from
Admet, which we summarised at the time by saying "A machine upgraded by Admet provides users with leading-edge testing capabilities at a price much less than what it would cost to purchase a new machine".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Surface imaging and analysis software enhances AFM from
Agilent Technologies Europe: "Pico Image, an atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging and analysis software package analyses image data and generates dynamic, highly detailed surface analysis reports with unprecedented power and ease".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Air Science USA
concerning its Balance enclosures
- take a look at Enclosures help balances stay accurate
which says: "Air Science USA has introduced a NEW line of Balance Enclosures designed for precision containment/operator protection when compounding and powder weighing".
Take a look also at the news release from Armstrong Optical, Convert any microscope to a 3D measurement system,
as well as Comparison of bomb calorimetry methods from Digital Data Systems,
and Tabletop testers help increase lab productivity from Shimadzu Scientific Instruments.
