‘Sample Preparation’

A Laboratorytalk guide

Start with the news release Pinning kits gently unblock impactor nozzles from Copley Scientific, which we summarised at the time by saying "Copley Scientific has announced that its new pinning kits provide users of cascade impactors with a tool for maintaining the long-term performance of their systems.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Primer covers latest mass spectrometry techniques from Waters: "Waters has published a 65-page primer on mass spectrometry for practitioners and non-practitioners seeking to hone their understanding of the latest techniques.".

In July 2009, we covered the news from SP Industries - take a look at Freeze-drying probe ensures reliable monitoring which says: "The Virtis MVP probe system from SP Industries is a freeze-drying accessory designed to ensure reliable product temperature monitoring.".

Take a look also at the news release from Invitrogen, Invitrogen launches Prodigy analysis system, as well as Exeter offers training for Model 440 customers from Exeter Analytical (UK), and Lablogic reports rise in studies using LIMS Debra from Lablogic Systems.
