Benchtop Stability AnalyzerThe Turbiscan range of stability analyzers
measures the aging and shelf life of
emulsions, suspensions, dispersions,
and foamsóessential factors in R&D and
quality control across such processes
and industries as inkjet development,
cosmetics, and soft drink production. It
includes the Turbiscan TLAb, a compact
benchtop model with temperature
regulation, which is perfect for detecting
all kinds of destabilization, including

in three versions and is designed to operate on sample concentrations
up to 60% volume/volume and particle sizes from 0.1 µm to 10 mm.
An integral reading head acquires backscattering data every 40 µm
while moving up the 55-mm sample height, which means that the
whole test sample is analyzedótop, middle, and bottom. An integral
barcode reader allows the software to identify individual samples, and
thermoregulation enables measurements at controlled temperatures
from +5∫C above ambient to +60∫C.

RT-PCR Kit
With the Viva 2-Steps RT-PCR Kit, you can directly transform
complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA and perform downstream
PCR with no frustration. The kit includes all necessary components
and is optimized for real-time PCR. It is specially designed to provide
reliable synthesis of full-length cDNA and convenient application
of cDNA in PCR. Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) reverse-

Illumination Platforms
Excelitas Technologies is expanding development of its popular
X-Cite illuminators for streamlined original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) integration in biomedical applications. The new X-Cite Vitae
product family will help OEMs quickly develop more advanced
products for improved analysis, surgical imaging, and diagnostics
capabilities. Growing use of surgical visualization, the demand for
better real-time point-of-care diagnostics, and system-wide health
care cost controls all increase the necessity for more advanced and
accurate instrumentation and illumination. As health care moves
into more outpatient and home care settings, medical device
developers are striving to miniaturize their productsóa goal that

inserts. The DMi-2500 has high resolution, high repeatability, and precise
motion. Because it is equipped with closed-loop DC servomotors employ-
ing high-resolution rotary encoders for positioning feedback, the stage
can improve repeatability to less than 300 nm (typical), compared to the
standard rotary encoderís 200-nm (typical) repeatability rating.

NEBNext® Ultra™ II RNALibrary Prep Kits for NGSDo you need increased sensitivity and specificity
from your RNA-seq experiments? Do you have
ever-decreasing amounts of input RNA? Our
new NEBNext Ultra II RNA kits are optimized
for low ng to µg inputs, have streamlined,
automatable workflows and are available for
directional (strand-specific, using the “dUTP
method”) and non-directional library prep.
Compatible with poly(A) mRNA enrichment or
rRNA depletion, the kits are available with the
option of SPRISelect® beads for size-selection
and clean-up steps.
