Industry Products KD Scientific designs, manufactures and sells a range of quality fluidics equipment used by research laboratory markets worldwide. KD Scientific syringe pumps are an economical solution to delivering precise and smooth flow in research, pilot plants and production applications. They are recognized worldwide for quality, accuracy and reliability. A broad line of syringe pumps are offered: from a simple one syringe infuse only, to a programmable multi-syringe infuse/withdrawal pump. KD Scientific +1 508.429.6809 Holliston, MA www.kdscientific.com SimPlate device are used to confine these color reactions, allowing technicians to simply count the number of positive wells to determine the aerobic plate count of a sample. “While other common agar and film plating methods require duplicate plating of multiple dilutions of samples, SimPlate’s expanded counting range of up to 738 CFU’s eliminates these extraneous steps,” according to Tara Staten, BioControl product manager. “The device’s unique isolation wells provide an ease of counting, not found in other plating methods,” says Staten, “and prevent interference from sample particulates, ensuring accuracy and saving labs both time and money.” Rapid methods such as SimPlate can offer dramatic financial benefits to food processors, allowing them to release product days earlier than with conventional methods. The reference culture method for aerobic plate counts provides results in 48 hours while SimPlate results are available in just 24 hours. SimPlate TPC-CI has also been approved as AOAC Official Method of Analysis 2002.07 and is one of several products in the SimPlate product line which includes SimPlate Yeast & Mold Color Indicator (MicroVal Certificate No. 2009LR25 / AOAC Official Method 2002.11), SimPlate Coliform/E. coli Color Indicator (AOAC Official Method 2005.03), SimPlate Enterobacteriaceae and SimPlate Campylobacter. BioControl Systems, Inc. +1 425.603.1123 Bellevue, WA www.biocontrolsys.com KD Scientific KD Scientific Announces the New Legato 100 Syringe Pump single syringe infusion-only pump with a touch screen interface, the Legato 100 has a wide flow rate range from 1.28 pl/min to 88.28 ml/min. Any type of syringe can be used in the unit, including stainless steel, plastic or glass. The syringes are held in place by KD Scientific’s new clamping mechanism designed to hold the syringes securely in place. Syringes from 0.5 ul to 60 ml can be used. The Legato 100 has an accuracy of +/-0.5% and a reproducibility of +/-0.05%. The large color display allows the user to see all the pumps operating parameters to ensure proper operation during the experiments. Syringe size and flow rates are easily displayed as well as the volume delivered and the elapsed time. The Legato 100 can be used in flow cytometry, electrospinning, mass spec calibrant delivery, microfluidics, neuroscience applications and more. A BioControl Announces MicroVal Certification of 24-hTest Method for Total Aerobic Plate Counts ioControl Systems, Inc., a provider in food safety testing, is pleased to announce that SimPlate® Total Plate Count Color Indicator (TPC-CI) has been granted MicroVal Certificate 2009LR26. SimPlate TPC-CI is a rapid method for quantifying total aerobic plate counts from food samples in only 24 hours. Developed to overcome the limitations of other counting procedures such as agar plates and film methods, SimPlate consists of proprietary formulations of pre-measured media and a patented plating device. SimPlate uses patented Binary Detection Technology™ which produces an easily interpreted color change. The isolation wells on the B Be sure to mention, “I read about it in Food Protection Trends”!
