Lab Innovations will also be the first UK show for Spectro Analytical UK’s SPECTROBLUE TI. The inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer optimizes linearity and dynamic range, while enabling high-sensitivity measurement of toxic elements, which makes it especially suitable for environmental analyses. The company’s portable SPECTROSCOUT energy-dispersive XRF analyser is also making its UK debut.
Brookfield is unveiling for the first time at a show its new DV2T Viscometers and DV3T Rheometer which deploy touch screen technology.
ETI is launching 8000+ pH Meter. This a three-in-one instrument that features a large easy to read, LCD display that indicates pH over the range of 0 to 14 pH with a resolution of 0.01 pH, mV over the range of -999 to 999 mV and temperature over the range of -39.9 to 149.9 °C with a resolution of 0.1 °C.
Camlab will be using the show to debut the Memmert GmbH next generation of appliances with improvements to heating performance, heating up speed, air exchange rate and device specific parameters such as humidity and pressure which can be adjusted by the end user.
Cleaver Scientific is launching its runView, runDoc, runSafe products. Designed to make DNA electrophoresis procedures safer, more convenient and more economical, the ‘Safe’ Series eliminates the need for Ethidium Bromide and the need for ultra violet light, without compromising the results of electrophoresis procedures.
