The Singer Instruments, Rotor™ is used for ultra-fast

manipulation of high density arrays of yeast,

other fungi, bacteria and algae.

Already used by Australian scientists, this

robot is designed for:

Duplicating and backing up large libraries of yeast, funghi, algae or bacteria.

Re-plating cells from liquid to agar and vice versa.

To replicate, mate, re-array, screen and breakdown from single or multiple source plates at densities of 96, 384, 768, 1536 and 6144.

Yeast 2-hybrid or cell mating assays.

Preparing arrays of colonies for chemical screening

Microbial Pinning Robotics

Cell Imaging & Robotics

Electron Microscopy

The LVEM5™ is paramount for imaging at the

bench for Life Scientists. Electron Microscopes are

used by cell biologists and neurologists to visualize

tissues and cells. LVEM5™ Benchtop EM features a

field emission gun, permanent magnet lenses, Ion

getter pumping and two stage optics.

Also available for your existing Electron

Microscope, high resolution CCD / CMOS cameras

that produce sharp images with high dynamic

range and low noise. These AMT cameras feature

Side Mount, Mid Mount and Low Mount

configurations to suit your application

requirements.

The MSM400™ is a semi-automated motorised

microscope workstation for the dissection of

yeast tetrads and the documentation of yeast

fungal cells and spores including Saccharomyces

cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and

other ascosporeproducing species. The

microscope can be controlled via the integrated

joystick, or by touch-screen control.

Yeast Dissection Microscopes

Automated Nucleic Extraction

Gel Imaging Systems

This user friendly platform is designed for imaging

DNA, RNA and proteins. Features 14 bit depth and

16 m pixel resoultion for high quality imaging and

autofocus setting to ensure minimal gel handling.

Compatible with various staining techniques,

imaging is made easy for gels and blots with

applications including:

PCR Fragments - Ethidium Bromide and others

Protein 1D - Silver Stain

2D Electrophoresis - Sypro Ruby Stain

Western Blot -ECL detection

Protein Dilution -Cy5™ stain

DNA - Cy5™ stain

DNA Sequencing & Imaging

MagCore™ instruments offer a cost effective technique to

automatically purify nucleic acids from a diverse range of

sample sources. Using magnetic bead based technology,

1-48 samples can be run at one time, without user

intervention and with extractions completed in around 30

minutes.

Manual extraction kits are also available as well as

competent cells, Polymerases, DNA Ladders & Cloning kits.

Drug Discovery & Pharmaceutical

Permeability, Dissolution, Solubility & Ionisation systems

Early screening drug discovery instrumentation with systems to cover

insitu kinetic solubility monitoring & saturation analysis.

PAMPA - Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay, a Bio-

Mimetic, Artificial Membrane Permeation available through the below

techniques:

Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT)

Blood Brain Barrier (BBB)

Stratum Corneum (Skin)

Chiral Column Chromatography

Scientex offers a range of specialised separations techniques including:

Supercritical Fluid Technology (SFT)

Automated Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)

Other Chromatography & Separation Sciences include:

Daicel™ Chiral Columns offer excellent resolution of racemates, rapid and

easy method development, plus durability and long service life. Daicel Chiral

Columns are essential tools in the pharmaceutical industry.

Recent product developments consist of immobilized CSP, CHIRALPAK® IA, IB,

IC, ID, IE and IF. These columns allow use of a wider range of

chromatographic solvents. Also available:

Normal Phase

Reverse Phase

Immobilised

CROWNPAK

QSeries

Peptides & Proteins

Amino Acids, Resins, Peptides & Synthesisers

Field Flow Fractionation Separations

A range of Peptide Synthesisers are available with varying

scale options.

We offer a catalogue of over 2000 US manufactured, high

quality peptides, and the building blocks for difficult or

structurally complex peptides including FMOC & BOC

amino acids, each accompanied with HPLC & MS analysis.

Also available: Protected Amino Acids, Resins, Reagents,

Lyophilisers & Concentrators.

Field Flow Fraction (FFF) methods allow researchers to

separate & characterise proteins, polymers and

nanoparticles in a fast and gentle way.

The system has a large, nearly universal separation range.

Nanoparticles can be separated from 1nm to 100um and

Proteins, Peptides & Polymers from 103 to 1012.

The sample is separated inside an open flow channel

without the presence of any packing or stationary phase

inside making it a gentle alternative for particle

separtations and analysis.

The instruments we

offer are used for a wide

range of applications from

pure research and teaching,

to product development and

quality control.

Biopolymer Characterisation

Applied Photophysics Circular Dichroism (CD) instruments use spectroscopy techniques to analyse

protein stability across several environments including temperature, ionic strength as well as the

display of solutes and small molecules.

The Chirascan™ CD can be used for structural characterisation of proteins, peptides and nucleic

acids as well as the thermodynamics of folding/unfolding & binding constants.

Polymer Standards Service (PSS) produces

instrumentation for routine bioanalysis under harsh

conditions has never been so easy and powerful.

With the BioSECcurity SEC system, this is the ideal

solution for protein molar mass, purity, and

aggregation analysis with advanced detection.

Columns - PSS high performance columns provide

more efficient and robust gel materials and an

improved packing technology. Stationary phase gels

for chromatography are able to separate synthetic

and natural macromolecules by their hydrodynamic

volume.
