Measure oxygen levels remotely with zirconia sensors

This company’s range of zirconia oxygen analyzers measure oxygen, from % to ppm levels. The accompanying software allows the user to view readings, set output and perform calibration remotely via a fully bi-directional RS-232 port. The Z1030 is a panel…

High-throughput characterization of proteins, peptides & particles

Using dynamic light scattering, the BioDLS allows automatic particle sizing using industry-standard well plates. The BioDLS measures proteins, peptides, micelles and other nanoparticles in a highly efficient, high-throughput manner useful for the pharmaceutical industry. Up to 768 samples can be…

These mass flowmeters are multi-gas capable

Max-Trak Model 180 Industrial Mass Flowmeters and Controllers are now available with 316-stainless-steel (ANSI or DIN) flange mounting for gas flowrates up to 1,000 L/min with pipe sizes up to 1 in. The major design enhancement of Model 180 is…

Focus on: Flow Measurement & Control

This unit offers measurements for low flows in the milliliter range The SLQ-HC60 (photo) fills a gap in the existing range of products for precise measurement in the low flowrate range, below 100 mL/min. This water-resistant meter operates without moving…

PM and PDM: Crucial Gear in the CPI Toolbox

With the challenging global marketplace and these unstable financial times, the chemical process Industries (CPI) must do everything possible to economically maintain production while providing innovative and high quality products for their customers. To achieve both these goals, predictive and…

Focus: Focus On Level Measurement

Use magnetostrictive or laser transmitters for level measurements The LM80 laser transmitter (photo) can be used for noncontact level measurement and positioning in dry bulk and liquid level applications. Solid surfaces can be measured at any angle with the LM80,…

Engineering Practice: Functions for Easier Curve Fitting

Engineers often need to fit experimental data to an empirical relationship for extrapolation or modeling without resorting to a full mathematical treatment based on physical principles or theory. The most widely used platform in science for doing this is MS…

Chementator: New glycemic-index technology

The Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (CSIRO) Food Futures Flagship (Sydney; www.csiro.au), has developed an in vitro robotic device for accurately predicting the glycemic index (GI) and resistant starch (RS) in foods. "This instrument will be a valuable tool…

Focus On: Temperature and Pressure Measurement

Calibrate High-Quality Thermometers with this Instrument The 4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators (photo) includes two new models, 4180 and 4181, which according to the manufacturer are easy enough to use in the field and accurate enough to use in the…
