Russ Swan, Editor, writes:

With so many disturbing stories in the news in the last couple of weeks, I thought Laboratorytalk readers might appreciate something a little more frivolous this week.

A few days ago, UK defence minister Geoff Hoon - or, as he is known in the House of Commons, Geoff Who? - rose in the chamber to discuss the current war in Iraq. Among his insights was the comment that the town of Um-Qasr "is a bit like Southampton".

A reporter in the field heard the comment, and approached a couple of soldiers to see if they agreed. The first observed that Hoon had either obviously never been to Um-Qasr, or had never been to Southampton. "Yes," his fellow squaddie agreed, "There's no beer, no prostitutes, and the people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."

I hope you find this issue of our weekly newsletter useful. In addition to the new products, news and ideas featured here, there are hundreds more on our website and dozens more being added daily, so do take a look if you can.
Alternatively, the full stories behind all the summaries and headlines in this newsletter can be retrieved by email alone: see details below.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions as to how we might make the site or the newsletter better, email me directly.

Best wishes

OUR TOP TEN NEW PRODUCTS SELECTION
=======================================================
1. World's first personal cell analysis system

Available from Guava Technologies, the PCA is claimed to be the world's first personal cell analysis system, enabling scientists engaged in cell-based discovery to easily perform advanced assays with fewer cells than required by other methods. Using samples only a few microlitres in volume, experiments can be started sooner and finished faster, streamlining the entire R and D process.

=======================================================
2. Nano particle analyser

Spectra-Physics introduces a new instrument for nano particle research and testing - the Triple-S Oriel fine particle analyser - that provides scientists and engineers with critical information about sub-micron materials through advanced optical technologies. The compact benchtop unit measures the size, shape, and structure of particles from 50nm to 2µm by employing a patent-pending method of particle characterisation based on elliptically polarised light scattering.

=======================================================
3. Parallel capillary/nano LC separations

Dionex has introduced a new dual gradient capillary/nano LC system that allows for parallel capillary/nano LC separations. The dual gradient system provides powerful identification of peptides for pharmaceutical, research and other applications. By coupling this system to NanoSpray/MS, the throughput of the MS can be increased by about 100%.

4. UV eliminates pathogens in hospital air ducts

In a 12-month study carried out at leading UK hospital, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems from Hanovia achieved a 98.9% reduction of Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and other airborne pathogens within the hospital's air conditioning system.

5. Lighting the way for reproduction

The launch of a laser microdissection system from Carl Zeiss is helping to resolve some of the remaining issues in embryo development research and in vitro fertilisation. Palm (positioning and ablation with laser microbeams) allows the precise cutting and movement of specimens without the need for physical contact and eliminates the risk of contamination being introduced by the scientist or technician.

6. Ultrasonic spectrometry goes HTP

Ultrasonic Scientific introduces its first major product launch of the year with its new HR-US HTP high throughput spectrometer. The HR-US HTP (high resolution ultrasonic spectrometer - high through put) greatly improves throughput and productivity for routine or higher volume applications and has the added capability of semi-automated sample introduction. This allows for the fast filling, emptying and cleaning of the ultrasonic cells.

7. Software for advanced proton prediction

Bio-Rad Laboratories has announced the newest addition to its award-winning KnowItAll Informatics system product line, Model It HNMR for advanced proton NMR prediction and simulation. Model It HNMR is the first proton NMR (HNMR) prediction software based on a molecular modelling approach and the calculation of conformers in solution, and is the result of Bio-Rad's ongoing collaboration with Perch Solutions.

9. Transfection reagent for antisense oligos

Cambridge BioScience has added Cytofectin transfection reagent for antisense oligonucleotides from Gene Therapy Systems to its range of gene delivery products. Cytofectin transfection reagent delivers oligonucleotides efficiently into a broad spectrum of cell lines and alleviates the two problems commonly associated with lipid-mediated delivery of antisense oligos - poor transfection efficiency and high levels of cytotoxicity.
