A small, high-vacuum system
for laboratories and research
TurboLab Core (photo, p. 18) is a
small plug-and-play high-vacuum
pumping system for research and
laboratory and industrial applications.
The ergonomic system includes
the oil- and maintenancefree
Turbovac i turbomolecular
pump, the Divac 1.4 dry diaphragm
backing pump and a simple controller,
which can also serve as a
speed and pressure display. Within
the TurboLab series, the compact
tabletop unit fills the gap for entrylevel
vacuum needs that require a
clean, dry, stable source of high
and ultra-high vacuum. The pumping
station frame stands on rubber
feet to prevent the transmission of
vibrations. This is important when
the system is placed close to a microscope
or other precision laboratory
equipment. - Leybold, a part

Single-use separator for the
biopharmaceutical industry
The new kytero single-use separator
(photo) is designed for obtaining
fermentation solutions and cell
cultures, and is equipped with the
Westfalia Separator disk-stack
technology for maximum yield, high
separation efficiency and gentle
product handling. The kytero combines
the high performance of larger
stainless-steel pharmaceutical centrifuges
with the features and benefits
offered by disposable separation.
The mobile plug-and-produce
unit also fits into any clean room. All
elements in contact with the product,
such as hoses and containers,
are made of recyclable material and
are replaced after use. This prevents
any cross-contamination and
ensures hygienic harvesting of the
cells. The elimination of CIP (cleanin-place)
and SIP (sterilize-in-place)
also eliminates the cost of chemicals
and water, especially water-forinjection
(WFI). In addition, the energy
and labor required for cleaning
and sterilization are eliminated. Setup
and changeover time (only 5-10
min for preparation) is minimal. A
500-L batch of animal cells is processed
in about four hours. - GEA

An updated simulation
platform for multilayer films
This company has launched version
5.0 of its proprietary Bonfire
Film Development Platform for
modeling and simulating multilayer
films. A free tool for value-chain
collaborators, this platform speeds
up the development of sustainable
flexible packaging by helping designers
and engineers shortlist formulations
and reduce the number
of physical trials. Specifically, the
platform helps converters achieve
sustainability goals through material
reduction (downgauging), transition
from multimaterial laminates
to recyclable polyethylene (PE)
structures and closing the loop with
post-consumer resin (PCR) incorporation.
Version 5.0 adds several
new modules and enhancements,
including: laminations structure
builder; sealant dashboard; molecular
architecture dashboard; and
more. - NOVA Chemicals, Calgary,
