This pH accessory turns an iPhone into an ipHone
SMARTPHONES and tablets are finding increasing uses in the laboratory, replacing the traditional lab notebook in data collection, providing a handy portable display for methods and protocols, and even becoming scientific instruments in their own right. This latter application usually…
Electrochemistry meter handles four channels at once
THE NEW Versa Star meter, made by Thermo Scientific and available from Cole-Parmer, offers versatility for multiple uses in advanced electrochemistry metering. Fully modular to be configured as needed, and with up to five parameter modules available, the Thermo Scientific…
Polycarbonate electrodes to premiere at Pittcon 2012
A NEW range of rugged polycarbonate bodied 12mm electrodes for pH and ORP measurement will be shown for the first time at Pittcon 2012. Intended for general laboratory operations, the S150C and S151C-ORP electrodes from Sensorex are suitable for use…
Low cost pH and ORP sensors
TRADITIONAL epoxy body electrodes and sensors are known for their durability, but many laboratories these days are keen to source lower-cost alternatives. Sensorex says it has provided just that with its new S150C and S151C-ORP 12mm pH/ORP (oxidation reduction potential)…
Flow-based sequencing assembler uses cheaper resources
A GENOMIC assembly technology using a flow-based detector promises a cheaper approach to DNA sequencing, as the instruments and reagents required are much less expensive, says SoftGenetics. Its Ion Torrent PGM sequencer is based around a silicon chip made up…
Accurate pH in variable temperatures
UNLIKE standard pH electrodes, Sensorex says its research grade pHase pH electrodes are specially designed for fast, accurate and stable pH measurements even with large temperature changes. This makes them suitable for quality control and R+D use in applications including…
