able choice for tap density analysis,
the company says. Meeting all
major industry standards, including
USP 616 methods 1, 2, and 3, the
Ultratap 500 series supports a range
of diverse applications, including in
chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It
has 24 pre-stored ASTM, ISO and
USP methods. The instrument series
has automated drop-height detection,
integrated user management
and intuitive software to ensure full
compliance while reducing the potential
for human error. Designed with
user comfort in mind, the Ultratap
500 series operates at noise levels
90% lower than competing models,
the company says. Key features of
the Ultratap 500 series include easy
operation, with TruLock straps that
allow fast, secure cylinder setup, and
a responsive touchscreen that simplifies
access to pre-stored and custom
methods. The device's automated
reports provide bulk density, Carr's
Index and Hausner Ratio, ensuring
accurate and reproducible data. -

A rotary evaporator for
continuous distillation
The Hei-Volume Distimatic Pro
Benchtop G9BXL (photo) allows
users to fully automate the filling and
emptying of a benchtop rotary evaporator.
Once programmed, the HeiVolume
Distimatic Pro module fills
and drains the Hei-VAP rotary evaporator
automatically and unattended.
It detects when the media supplied
has been processed and switches
itself off automatically, including the
peripheral devices. The automation
eliminates the burden of handling of
large rotary flasks, because the module
can dispense viscous residues.
Cleaning is also carried out by the automatic
module. The parameters for
the sensor- or time-controlled filling of
the rotary flask can be entered via the
removable 7-in. touchscreen control
panel. The time for the coated collector
vessel (approx. 330 mL) to be
emptied by the compressor can also
be programmed here. In addition, the
automatic cleaning mode and manual
operation can be started. The control
box with the integrated compressor
of the Hei-Volume Distimatic Pro,
along with all of its components, can
be mounted directly on a Hei-VAP
benchtop rotary evaporator using the
bracket supplied. All parts that come
into contact with the media, including
the supplied tubing, are made of
chemical-resistant materials. - Heidolph

This system provides
automated decontamination
With the recent launch of the SteraMist
Integrated System - Standalone
(SIS-SA), this company provides a
reliable and efficient solution for decontamination
of biological safety
cabinets (BSCs) and other small
spaces or enclosed areas. Designed
to meet the unique needs of cleanrooms,
laboratories and other facilities
with BSCs, the SIS-SA offers a
reliable, automated solution for preventing
cross-contamination. Daily
disinfection is essential in these highly
controlled environments, and users
report that the SIS-SA simplifies
what was once a labor-intensive and
inconsistent process, the company
says. Factors such as stricter regulations
on microbial containment, increased
R&D activities and the growing
prevalence of infectious diseases
and chronic illnesses all make automated
decontamination more important.
The SteraMist system incorporates
this company's BIT™ solution,
which utilizes a low-percentage hydrogen
peroxide as its only active
ingredient and uses patented ionized
hydrogen peroxide (iHP™) technology
in all systems to create superior
disinfection. - TOMI Environmental

These NIR analyzers are
designed for versatility
XDS near infrared (NIR) spectrometers
(photo) are designed for a variety of
applications, such as uniformity testing,
raw material identification and process
optimization in pilot plants. The
measuring modules are hot-swappable,
and the instruments come with
a variety of accessories, making the
XDS Analyzers even more versatile,
says the company. Dedicated measurement
modules are available
to
address different sample types, and
convenient review of data is guaranteed
with the user-friendly and GMP/
FDA-compliant Vision Air software. -
