For the busy QA/QC laboratory, advances in autosampler control result in higher sample throughput and improved productivity.
"As the premier supplier of thermal analysis solutions for laboratories worldwide, PerkinElmer works in close cooperation with our customers to provide the highest quality lab experience," said Jonathan Rennert, vice president and general manager, Analytical Sciences, for PerkinElmer's Life and Analytical Sciences division.
"The new Jade DSC continues PerkinElmer's tradition of offering reliable best-in-class thermal analysis products delivering accurate data along with enhanced flexibility".
"Whether you work in a research laboratory or a QA/QC lab, the Jade DSC provides world class performance." The Jade DSC offers several key features for improved performance and enhanced flexibility, including:.
Autosampler option for higher throughput and unattended operation - the Jade DSC's 45-position autosampler option and unique carousel design improve productivity and ensure reproducible results in the temperature range from -180C to +450C.
Convenient automated liquid nitrogen cooling option to -180C - the Jade DSC enables users to configure their equipment to meet the needs of their laboratory by providing a variety of cooling devices, including the option of an automated low consumption liquid nitrogen cooling system which provides measurements from temperatures as low as -180C.
Portable cooling device (PCD) for cost-effective low temperature operation - a portable cooling device can be used in combination with the standard Jade DSC configuration to quickly cool to ambient temperature or to cool below room temperature for occasional subambient measurements, without any instrument modification.
Integrated mass flow controller for precise gas control and gas switching - the Jade DSC features a built-in mass flow controller to monitor and control purge gas flow rates, automatically adjusting the rate to match the needs of a specific application.
The controller also allows switching between any two gases, such as programmed switching between inert and oxidizing (or reducing) gas types.
