We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Testing Equipment",
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 HT-Italia measurement equipment now in the UK from
Hitek, which we summarised at the time by saying "Horsham-based Hitek has been appointed by world-leading electrical testing equipment manufacturer HT-Italia to offer its range of measurement devices in the UK".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release M+S says yes to Zwick testing machines from
Zwick Roell: "Zwick Roell testing equipment used in quality control laboratories to measure the modulus, tensile strength, extension and seam slippage on fabrics and garments has been approved by Marks and Spencer".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Dolomite
- take a look at Dolomite helps drive lab-on-a-chip revolution
which says: "Microfluidics enables very small-scale fluid control and analysis, allowing instrument manufacturers to develop smaller, more cost-effective and more powerful systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Admet, Universal testing machine is low-force but fast,
as well as Materials testing boost for Newcastle College from ELE International,
and Birthday marked by BBC TV profile from Mecmesin.
