SM Bioscience introduces CMOS-based products
Israel-based DNR developer and manufacturer of bio-imaging systems for biotechnology research community has come out with CMOS-based products: MiniBIS and MiniBIS Pro. SM Bioscience will introduce these products in India. MiniBIS optics were designed for the research environment and researchers' needs. The MiniBIS system captures electrophoresis images under a wide range of illumination conditions, including UV and white light.

With MiniBIS, researchers can store, analyze, and annotate acquired images on their PCs with a variety of popular image analysis software. Direct transfer of images from camera to PC means no loss of resolution - as is common with frame grabber cards that capture data from video signals.

Millipore's new Steritest EZ device for faster sterility testing
Millipore has announced the availability of its Steritest EZ testing device. First in the next generation of Steritest testing tools, the Steritest EZ device provides fast and consistent sterility testing of large volume parenterals and synthetic drugs without antimicrobial activity. 

The device's new ergonomically designed needle adapters fit the majority of test containers to maintain a closed concept system, which reduces the risk of adventitious contamination. Pre-installed clamps simplify handling and save time by providing quality control analysts with an easy closing and re-opening mechanism. The longer 850 mm tubing length provides easier set-up and ample room to perform the manipulations involved in sterility testing. In addition, the canister inlet design minimizes foaming for improved reliability and faster filtration.
