Nugen Scientific, a Delhi-based company, has tied up with the US-based Sonics & Materials Inc. to supply ultrasonic processors for industrial applications. Introducing this product range in India, Rakesh Sharma, managing director, Nugen, said, "This product range has lot of market potential. Since the principal company is a market leader in foreign markets, this leadership can be maintained in the Indian market too."

The model name of ultrasonic processor for industrial applications is VCF 1500. "This can be used by itself or with the optional high volume continuous flow cell. When used in conjunction with the flow cell, throughput rate is typically 100 liter/hour—variables being viscosity and desired degree of processing. The flow cell is recommended for the treatment of low viscosity samples that do not require extended exposure to ultrasonics," further informed Sharma.

Bio-Tek launches new Synergy HT multi-detection microplate reader

Bio-Tek Instruments is launching new technology for its Synergy HT multi detection micro plate reader. Along with absorbance, fluorescence and time resolved fluorescence, this addition to the Synergy HT series enables low light output luminescence applications. Its applications include reporter gene analysis, flash ATP assays, and reactive oxygen species, luminescent immuno assays. The Synergy's unique dual optics system ensures optimal performance for each measurement modality. The highest sensitivity in florescence is achieved with an ultra stable tungsten/halogen light source coupled with deep blocking interference filters. A xenon flash lamp provides unsurpassed flexibility in absence especially in low UV and near IP applications with a detection range from 200 to 999 nm. The new low noise detection system operated in photon integration mode enables high sensitivity luminescence measurements. KC4 data reduction software with PowerReports comes with all Synergy HT models. The new interface allows the user to create any sequence of dispense, shake, incubate and read steps. Full 21 CFR part 11 compliance is also available.
