Electronic Ergonomic Pipettes Ease Drug Discovery

At METTLER TOLEDO, we understand that “time to market” is critical to our pharmaceutical customers and we have great news: Our new Rainin E4 XLS electronic pipette has set new standards, not just for speed and simplicity, but comfort too!

The E4’s precision joystick control and large, easy-to-read 64-bit color screen put every feature and function right at your fingertips. Its carousel-like menu structure makes switching between modes and adjusting settings fast – toggle left, right, up or down and press to activate. And, with its ultra-ergonomic grip and extraordinary balance, the E4 XLS fits right and feels great even after hours of pipetting.

Because the E4 is so easy to use and intuitive, it comes loaded with features:

Basic
Transfer individual liquid samples quickly, reproducibly and with minimum effort. Perfect for routine pipetting all day.

Advanced
Features include rapid set-up and execution of mixing protocols, such as serial dilutions and creating a series of pre-programmed steps for a standardized pipetting protocol that you use frequently.

Multi-dispense
Transfer multiple aliquots quickly and reproducibly from a single volume for repetitive tasks, such as filling 96 well plates. Transfer equal volume aliquots for replicates or specify a series of volume transfers.

Manual
In True Manual™ modes, the joystick offers precise control over aspiration and dispense speed in real time. Perfect for simultaneous collection and volume quantitation of sample supernatants and loading gels.

Reverse
Automates a procedure commonly used with viscous liquids – aspirating the plunger past the first stop to aspirate then depressing only to the first stop to deliver the aliquot.

Dilute
Pick up two or more samples through multiple aspiration steps then dispense them all together with an optional mix step.

Titrate
Use this mode to titrate solutions. True Manual™ mode functionality gives you precise dispensing control and an added feature tells you exactly how much titrating liquid was added to get to the set point.

Every detail of this precision instrument has been carefully scrutinized by Rainin engineers and tested for ease, usability and practicality by life science researchers. But seeing is believing – so contact your sales representative to request a demonstration.

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
