Cole-Parmer, having its experience in fluid handling, life science, general laboratory products, instrumentation, and equipment, presented a wide range of fluid handling and lab equipment at Achema 2012, which was recently held in Frankfurt.
Attendees of ACHEMA had the opportunity to see a variety of Masterflex pump systems. This selection of high-performance peristaltic pumps serves the biotechnology, chemical, industrial, research and development, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries, among others. In addition to the Masterflex C/L (Compact/Low Flow), L/S (Laboratory/Standard), and I/P (Industrial/Process) pumps, various tubing styles and pump heads were operated to demonstrate application-based pumping systems.
Lab equipment featured included the Cole-Parmer Rotational Viscometer, which offers greater chemical resistance and the ability to withstand chemically corrosive materials. The StableTemp Modular Block Heaters provide the flexibility to heat different sizes of microtubes, centrifuge tubes, vials, microplates, and PCR strips or tubes. Each digital or analog heater accepts more than 40 interchangeable heating blocks which accommodate sample enclosures. The Stir-Pak High-Speed, Low-Torque Overhead Stirrer System is a heavy-duty modular system that allows users to customise components to suit their mixing application. Several high-quality Oakton thermometers were also available, including the Oakton TempTestr Infrared Thermometer with laser vision to pinpoint the centre of the measurement area.
