In-house Development of Laboratory Products
With a Focus on the Needs of Practitioners
We are close to our customers and therefore close to the needs of practitioners in routine and research laboratories. The questions and challenges encountered in laboratory practice often give rise to ideas for new, innovative laboratory products. These products make daily laboratory work easier or improve the accuracy of measurement results, for example. Our scientific and interdisciplinary expertise flows directly into our product designs. We therefore see ourselves not only as a specialist laboratory supplier, but also as a product developer. We have compiled a few examples for you on this page.
Ultra-pure PFA Laboratory Bottles with GL45 Closure
The bottle series has a GL45 screw thread, allowing multifunctional adapters or bottle top dispensers to be easily screwed on. The bottles are made of high-purity PFA (perfluoroalkoxy polymer) and are therefore suitable for handling, storing, and transporting pure, sensitive, or aggressive liquids. They are transparent and marked with volume markings. Due to the stable and thick-walled PFA plastic, they can also be used under vacuum conditions and at slight overpressure. Thanks to the bottle neck design, the contents can be removed down to the last drop.
Ultra-pure PFA Sample Vessels for Small Sample Volumes
Our 'Mini-Vials' series has been specially developed for handling small sample volumes. The vials have an optimized rounded inner bottom shape, which allows the sample to flow downwards during evaporation and prevents sample material from sticking to the vessel wall. The rounded inner bottom also facilitates subsequent cleaning. The flat outer base ensures optimal heat transfer in hot plate applications. Secure closure is also possible, allowing samples to be transported safely.
The AHF TriggerBox – Flexible Adapter for Microscope Light Sources
LED light sources are becoming increasingly popular in fluorescence microscopy compared to conventional light sources. As a result, a wide range of models from different manufacturers are now available. Various microscopy software solutions are also available on the market, such as Metamorph, µManager, NIKON NIS, and Olympus CellSens. However, the respective imaging software often only allows certain light sources to be controlled. This is where the 'TriggerBox' comes in! It is connected as an interface between the computer and the light source. This allows all TTL-controllable light sources to be flexibly controlled via USB and BNC connections using the imaging software.
The xLess Sample Transportation System for Laboratory Analysis with ICP
With the 'xLess', even the smallest liquid sample volumes can be fed completely into an ICP device without loss under ultra-clean conditions over distances of up to 12 m. The system automatically and continuously monitors the sample feed and can be operated in 24/7 mode. Control and configuration are possible via either a TCP/IP or RS-232 interface. The sample is fed into the system via a peristaltic pump and then transferred continuously and pulsation-free to the ICP device via a metal- and glass-free syringe pump.
The Saphira Torch for Si Analysis in Ultra-trace Analysis
The Saphira Torch, with its PEEK housing and sapphire tube, minimizes silicon contamination in trace analysis of elements using ICP. The torch is ideal for analyzing Si in process fluids in the semiconductor industry, Si transfer to human tissue through implants, and analyzing ultrapure metals and materials (HF-containing samples). The sapphire or platinum injection tube is perfectly fixed in a holder made of pure, inert, and temperature-resistant polymer. It can be easily installed in almost all ICP-MS instruments.
Practical Holder for Microscope Filters
Dichroic beam splitters require shading at the edges to prevent scattered excitation light from falling on the detectors. This is ensured by our small and very lightweight filter holder design. It is easy to handle without running the risk of touching the substrate with your hands. Handling is easy, and the beam splitters are also very easy to store and label. Thanks to the precise workmanship, you can quickly and reproducibly exchange the filters and thus flexibly adjust your free-beam microscope to new chromophores.
