Thame, UK -- The new Legato 270 Syringe Pump available from Dorton Analytical, has an optimised user configurable syringe mechanism designed to uniquely deliver a full volume in infuse and withdraw modes whether using small or large syringes.

This reconfigurable mechanism allows the user to change the syringe clamping mechanism to hold from 0.5 ul up to 140 ml syringes.

Two removable pins adjust the syringe mechanism to allow full stoke when using larger syringes.

The Legato 270 features a continuous push and pull pump.

When used with check valves, the unit will draw fluid from a reservoir while the opposite side is dispensing fluid and after the user selected volume is dispensed, the pump will automatically switch through the check valves and refill the empty syringes while dispensing from the other side.

Controlled atmosphere for range of Ocean Optics spectrometers

Dunedin, FL, USA – A new accessory, the SteadiQ, from Ocean Optics is broadening the range of applications for its field-portable spectrometers.

The SteadiQ provides a temperature controlled atmosphere, helping to stabilize temperature effects and eliminate temperature drift in inclement conditions or extreme temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C.

The rugged, portable device assures more accurate, reliable results in field applications including solar irradiance, volcanic observation, greenhouse monitoring, and industrial environments such as cold food storage.

Available in both UV (200-1100 nm) and Vis-NIR (400-2500 nm) versions, the SteadiQ interfaces directly with Ocean Optics’ USB2000+, USB4000, HR2000+, HR4000, Maya2000, Maya2000 Pro, QE65000, and NIRQuest spectrometers.

New Module Overcomes Noise Susceptibility, Transmission Distance and Other Limitations of Conventional Sensors

AUSTIN TX, USA -- /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Instruments has announced the NI PXIe-4844 optical sensor interrogator, a two-slot 3U PXI Express module for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors.

FBG sensors operate by reflecting a wavelength of light that corresponds to changes in physical phenomena such as strain and temperature. Unlike conventional electrical sensors, FBG sensors are nonconductive, electrically passive and immune to electromagnetic interference, making them a safe and reliable alternative in environments subject to noise, corrosion or extreme weather.

The transmission medium is standard optical fiber instead of copper wire, making it possible to take measurements over long distances of up to 10 km.

Engineers and scientists can use FBG sensors for the most common measurement types, including strain, temperature and pressure, and several sensors can be daisy chained along a single optical fiber to greatly reduce the size, weight and complexity of the measurement system.

The answer to the crisis for large energy companies

Bucuresti, Romania -- Both goods producers and big energy companies as well as associated services (like transportation, infrastructure) are looking for alternative solutions to productivity growth and cost reduction. A possible answer is the implementation or extension of industrial automation processes.

"In this difficult times, Romanian companies are interested in operational costs cut downs and looking for the best solutions that can meet the automation needs in industrial activities," says Ion Andronache, CEO at Syscom 18, a company that delivers integrated systems in industrial automation.

Although the industrial automation market has almost downsized by half comparing to the period before the crisis (2007 – 2008), as well as the number of projects in oil, gas, metallurgical and fossil fuel powered plants, large companies kept on investing in equipment and services that essentially contributed to industrial process efficiency.

By an effective use of resources, company administrators want to reduce production costs. The production firms choose to integrate the data provided by their equipment into their data systems.

"The monitoring electronic systems we provide for various indicators (temperature, pressure, level, flow, etc.) allow data transmission to the management or the project managers in real time. Thus, the engineers have a more precise control over the production activity and can redistribute or reconfigure the equipments, by this simplifying the information cycle and reducing costs," explains Andronache.
