The proven Safety Control System (SCS) is also incorporated in the Flame 100. All potential hazards are constantly monitored and, if necessary, protective measures – such as the shutting off the gas supply – are activated. WLD-TEC 310.589.3709 Chicago, IL www.WLD-TEC.com design. Open-pleat spacing allows better utilization of the media pack, resulting in better airflow through the cartridge for more efficient performance. Dust also releases more readily during pulse cleaning using less compressed air for many applications, bringing further energy savings. All HemiPleat filters carry a written performance guarantee to run at a lower pressure drop, meet or exceed current collection efficiencies, and last longer.

New HemiPleat® Nano Filter Offers Higher Efficiency, Longer Life, Energy Savings
new HemiPleat® Nano dust collector filter from Camfil Farr Air Pollution Control offers higher filtration efficiencies, longer service life, and lower pressure drop than competitive nano fiber filters, for energy savings and enhanced performance. The ma nufacturer uses a new technology to apply a thick layer of highly durable nano fibers to the surface of the patented HemiPleat filter, yielding a MERV 14 efficiency rating – higher than that of most competitive filters. The HemiPleat Nano media is strong enough to handle difficult dust challenges such as laser and plasma cutting, welding and thermal spray; and it will withstand rigorous pulse-cleaning for all types of dry dust applications, bringing longer service life and lower operational costs. The product line includes MERV 14 and MERV 16 efficiency options, with a choice of high performance standard or fire retardant cellulose-blend base media. The new filter is also the only one to combine nano media with HemiPleat’s patented open-pleat

New Flame 100 Safety Bunsen Burner
LD-TEC has introduced the new Flame 100 Safety Burner, the safe alternative for all traditional Bunsen or alcohol burner applications. The Flame 100 is ideally suited for all flame-related applications in the laboratory. The 15 millimeter precision flame allows safe sterilization of microbiological instruments as well as graduated heating of dental tools. Flame size and intensity can be adjusted infinitely. The Flame 100 Burner activates immediately with the push of a button. No match or a pilot flame are required. Optionally, the Flame 100 can also be operated by a foot pedal or an external infrared motion sensor. The Flame 100 is suitable for stationary natural gas and propane/ butane gas supplies as well as gas cartridges or gas cylinders.

SDIX to Help Egg Producers Meet New FDA Regulatory Challenge

provider of biotechnologybased products and services for a broad range of life science, biotechnology, diagnostic, and food safety applications, commercially launched the RapidChek® SELECT™ Salmonella Enteritidis testing system. The new system was designed in coordination with leading experts in egg safety. It is applicable to both egg and poultry industries. However, it will specifically help U.S. commercial egg producers comply with the new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation that requires them to test poultry houses and eggs for Salmonella Enteritidis (SE). The new FDA rule became effective July 9, 2010 for commercial egg producers with over 50,000 laying hens and becomes effective July 9, 2012 for egg producers with between 3,000 and 49,999 laying hens. The new Rule will affect app-
