30  LMS  Issue 4 | 2014 Liquid Handling/Analysis Automatic PCR Wave Goodbye to Inaccurate Measurements A &D recently developed the sinewave vibro viscometer SV series with tuning-fork vibration method, which promises high accuracy and a wide measurement range without replacing the sensor plates. The SV series has two thin sensor plates that are driven with electro­ magnetic force at the same frequency by vibrating at constant sine-wave v ­ ibration in reverse phase like a tuning fork. S ay goodbye to hours of pipetting with the new epMotion®. The epMotion P5073 is a tailored workstation for automated PCR set-up in 96 or 384 plate formats. It is an open platform that simplifies all routine pipetting tasks. Whether it is PCR set-up or general liquid handling, the automation yields reliable and reproducible results with more precision and safety. The EasyCon control panel and PCR assistant software provides simple operation by guiding one through various preparations step-by-step. It is a flexible system for automating time-consuming and complex pipetting procedures with the epBlue software, making many routine liquid handling tasks easier than ever. The pipetting procedure is more precise, reproducible and fully standardised, making the workplace safer and more ergonomic. The P5073 is Field Marketing Manager: Adele Heath Tel: 011-372-5129 Email: [email protected] The SV series features: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • delivered with all accessories for preparing PCR samples. Only consumables need to be ordered separately. The easy-to-use epMotion lends itself to most laboratory environments. The epBlue software can be learned in just one morning and will be up and running protocols that same afternoon. These systems cover a pipetting range of 1 to 1000µl. The accuracy of Eppendorf pipetting technology enables usage of smaller reaction volumes. The unit can be ordered with an optional UV lamp and HEPA filter. ⚛ Merck Millipore between the sensor plates and the sample fluid. The coefficient of viscosity is obtained by the correlation between the driving electric current and the magnitude of viscidity. The electromagnetic drive controls the vibration of the sensor plates to maintain a constant amplitude of 1mm and a constant frequency of 30Hz. The driving electric current, which is an excited force, will be detected as the magnitude of viscidity produced High measurement accuracy Selectable wide measurement range Real-time measurement Temperature measurement Continuous measurement Viscosity calibration Non-Newtonian sample viscosity measurement Foaming sample measurement Flowing sample measurement Separated type model Vacuum fluorescent display Small sample size Easy cleaning Solid and gel measurement Standard RS 232C interface Data collection and graphing software. ⚛ Wirsam Scientific Tel:  011-482‑1060 / 021-386‑9020 / 031-709-0199 / 041-365‑2060 / 016-931‑1731 Email: wirsamjb@wir
