Ergonomically engineered to provide the highest level of comfort and precision, Acura electro electronic pipettes are available in three models. The 926X model comprises seven micropipettes, ranging in volumes from 0.1 to 1000μL; the 936 model includes three micropipettes with volumes ranging from 0.1 to 10mL; and the Acura electro 956 offers eight multichannel pipettes with dispensing volumes from 0.5 to 350µL in 8- or 12-channel configurations. A unique feature is that one control unit is capable of fitting on to any one of 27 volumetric assemblies. Each microprocessor-controlled pipette features a lightweight design for maximum hand comfort and control. Programming one of the six working modes is easy with intuitive software control. The modes include Forward, Reverse, Stepper, Dilute, Mixing and Tactile. The new Tactile mode simplifies gel loading and makes titration possible using a micropipette. Display information is reversible for right or left side reading. User-friendly features include a swift-set user calibration system, a pipetting cycle counter, an audible beep for switching on or off, a reduced shaft length on the 926XS micropipettes up to 1000µL, and the ability of the volumetric module to be autoclaved at 121°C. The height adjustment system allows the optimal fitting and ejection of a wide selection of tips, and tip ejection is facilitated with the low-pressure activation button. Pipettes automatically go into energy saving stand-by mode if unused. The battery pack can be charged quickly on the convenient charging station stand. The battery charge level is clearly visible on the liquid crystal display.

A stand-alone, static urine concentrator that uses a regenerated cellulose membrane to recover more Bence Jones Proteins, giving it a high sensitivity, the UriCon is a self-standing, individual test so there is no cross contamination. Multiples of single devices can be clipped together to allow for a large frequency of daily testing. This device offers unique features such as the luer cap lid to seal the product for improved health and safety. The unique pressure valve can decrease the concentration time of the device even further.

The Urilyzer 100 instrument offers a broad range of optimised user-friendly features. The touch-screen user interface improves data entry and allows manual entry of colour and turbidity from a predefined list or by an additional comment. Moreover, the system provides the user with a high level of customisation with flexible testing and reporting options. The intelligent database-driven data management provides multiple filter options. The Pro version additionally provides enhanced operator management and connectivity capabilities to meet the growing demands for compliance management and data capture. It also offers an automated QC analysis with QC test reminders and supports LOT code documentation. System security in the Pro version allows the allocation of different security levels to individual users.

This newly released portfolio of immunoassay surfaces ensures that users get the best results from their assays. Passive binding surfaces are available to absorb medium to large biomolecules in a range of orientations. For more specific binding, the Nunc CovaLink plates facilitate coupling of molecules bearing a free carboxyl or phosphate group, enabling peptides, haptens and DNA to be effectively coupled. In addition, the Immobilizer amino plate forms stable covalent bonds with the free amino acids or sulphhydryl groups of the biomolecule, eliminating the need for a blocking step. Affinity capture surfaces offer even more specific binding, with reduced variability in molecular orientation and improved signal to noise ratio. In order to help users to select the best plate format to meet the demands of their application, the interactive and searchable immunoassay plate selector guide is a free resource, providing in-depth detail about the range of plates available and their applications.

A new range of immunoassay controls provides clinically relevant levels of Vitamin B12 capable of accurately assessing the sensitivity of vitamin B12 assays. Vitamin B12 levels may be anywhere between 200 – 900 pg/mL with values under 200pg/mL indicating deficiency; signs of neurological deficiency or anaemia are usually evident in patients with levels below 150pg/mL. The Acusera Level 1 Immunoassay Premium, Immunoassay Premium Plus and Liquid Immunoassay controls contain low enough levels of Vitamin B12 (approx 150pg/mL) to assess assay performance at the clinical decision level, removing the need to purchase a separate anaemia control. In addition to low Vitamin B12 levels, the Premium and Premium Plus controls also contain ultra low levels of Ferritin and TSH, as well as a wide range of other immunoassay parameters, allowing consolidation of fertility hormones, thyroid hormones, kidney function tests, therapeutic drugs and other vitamins. In addition to this the Premium Plus control also contains many of the routinely run tumour markers including AFP, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA-125, CEA, PSA and Free-PSA.
