This mountainous country is a summer and winter sports paradise with stunning white Alpine peaks and beautiful blue and green lakes. Switzerland has developed into a popular destination for tourists of every nationality. Its majestic views and attractions suit a variety of tastes whether you are packing your hiking boots, snowboard, or just a good book and a pair of sunglasses. A perfect way to view the diversity and beauty of Switzerland is by train on the GoldenPass Line. One of the most picturesque railways in Switzerland, the GoldenPass Line offers travel experiences with different styles and atmospheres. The GoldenPass Panoramic train allows passengers to enjoy modern comforts while viewing the unique landscape through its huge windows and glass roof. The GoldenPass Classic train provides a romantic, retro-style ambiance. Its coaches are inspired by the Golden Mountain Pullman Express from the 1930s, a luxury train in the style of the Orient Express. To provide the ultimate in comfort for passengers, the railroad cars are constantly being modernized and upgraded with new features. Occasionally, new car designs are introduced to the line.passenger trains]]> railroad cars]]> balance specifications]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Swiss-Railway-Line-Makes-Safety-A-Top-Priority/3637999 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:15:44 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Swiss-Railway-Line-Makes-Safety-A-Top-Priority/3637999 By combining miniaturization with high performance, PhyTip columns eliminate many of the sample preparation bottlenecks encountered by researchers in their daily workflows. For protein purification, the technology is a natural fit with Rainin's high performance pipettes and its 40 year record of advancing pipetting technology in ways that improve accuracy, precision, ergonomics and workflow. "This business initiative with PhyNexus is an important strategic opportunity for Rainin to further develop and expand its liquid handling systems portfolio," said Leonard Pulig, Rainin general manager. "PhyNexus' stellar reputation for innovation in liquid chromatography is a strong complement to Rainin's considerable presence in the Life Science market and global reach through our parent firm, METTLER TOLEDO." Because PhyTip columns can be used with a wide range of chemistries, for life science applications, combining them with Rainin's pipetting technology will speed sample preparation, save money by requiring less sample and produce higher concentrations of pure protein product. In terms of practical applications, functional assays requiring pure protein, hybridoma screening, formulations and quality control, for example, will all benefit from purification solutions that streamline workflows and foster better decision making earlier in the research or discovery process.specialized sample preparation technology]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Rainin-And-Phynexus-To-Focus-On-Workflow-Innovations-For-Life-Scientists/3637910 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:03:50 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Rainin-And-Phynexus-To-Focus-On-Workflow-Innovations-For-Life-Scientists/3637910 Ultra high-precision weighing in automated processes The preparation of anti-cancer drugs in hospitals involves the development of individually tailored chemotherapy treatments for patients. The doses take account of individual characteristics, including the patient tolerate to a certain drug, and are prepared in containers of various shapes. The main critical factor concerns the high toxicity of the drugs; a dosage error can be lethal for the patient and the manipulation of these substances is also a high risk for the hospital operators. In order to overcome these critical issues,Loccioni humancare developed APOTECAchemo, a robotized system for weighing drugs and solutions, reconstituting powdered drugs, dosing compounds using a mechanical arm and dedicated actuators, preparing syringes, bags and infusion devices, and disposing of used materials in full safety. The patient is protected by the automatic recognition of all the products handled, by a barcode-based system of labelling offering full traceability, and above allby the checks on all the weight measurements using the high-precision WM3002 weigh module made by METTLER TOLEDO.automation and information system]]> chemotherapeutic drug]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Automatic--Rapid-And-Accurate-Preparation-Of-Cytostatic-Drugs/3636879 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:14:33 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Automatic--Rapid-And-Accurate-Preparation-Of-Cytostatic-Drugs/3636879 The Impact M is competitively priced and designed to meet a unique need in the market.

Featuring a large color screen, precision joystick and carousel-like menu, the E4 XLS makes moving between options and settings extremely fast and highly intuitive. Before the E4 XLS, complexity has been the bane of electronic pipettes and the primary reason many researchers avoid them. Electronic pipettes with advanced features aren"t new, but with small data screens and complex navigation schemes, their appeal among researchers has been limited. In fact, most major electronic pipette manufacturers have sacrificed features and capabilities in their latest models as a tactic to reduce complexity. Rainin has taken an entirely different approach, instead drawing on advances in cell phone and gaming technology to simplify navigation and make operation fast and easy. The E4 XLS employs a fully functioning joystick, robust processor and large 16-bit color screen that transform pipette operation, making it highly graphical and far less linear.

"RAININ is happy to offer FlipTubes as part of our growing range of products that enable life science researchers to reach their goals more efficiently, whether they are working in academia, or in government, clinical, pharma or biotech labs," he added. FlipTube's revolutionary design allows it to be held, opened and closed with one hand using an extended hinge projection. With the same hand that holds the FlipTube, a researcher simply applies a slight downward thumb pressure to the extension to open the lid. Sample or reagent can then be pipetted into the tube using the opposing hand. Finally, an upward thumb flip closes the FlipTube. Researches can also use the same simple motions to manipulate the easy-open seal while FlipTubes rest in a standard tube rack. Not only does this one-handed, easy-open motion allow a researcher to quickly prepare one tube and move to the next;microdentrifuge tubes]]> Rainin]]> contamination-free]]> tubes]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-Rainin-Fliptube-Reduces-Contamination-Risk--Increases-Speed/3436535 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 04:00:09 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-Rainin-Fliptube-Reduces-Contamination-Risk--Increases-Speed/3436535 With the introduction of its new E4 XLS line of pipettes, METTLER TOLEDO Rainin , has raised the bar on electronic pipetting performance and ease-of-use.

For goods-in testing and for quality control in general, it is normal procedure to closely monitor the product quality of granulates and powders. In many industry sectors, the sieve method is used in order to analyze and determine the spread of particle sizes in, for example, coffee. Often the sieve analysis is performed by unskilled or semi-skilled employees, which means that the equipment must be very simple to operate. Using an XP Balance sieve analysis becomes a simple and highly logical task. The empty sieve is placed on the balance, the balance is tared and the sample is weighed in. Then the actual sieving is performed. When the sieving is completed the operator simply places the sieve back on the balance and reads the results on the display. Perfect Results Displayed The XP range of balances differs from all other balance types because it automatically shows the results of sieve 'back weighing' in % alongside the sieve residue in g or kg. It can also be configured to show the gross weight.Determinination of the size of particles]]> bulk goods]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Sieve-Analysis-Performed-Perfectly-Weighing-Bulk-Materials-Using-The-Xp/3347940 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 01:15:34 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Sieve-Analysis-Performed-Perfectly-Weighing-Bulk-Materials-Using-The-Xp/3347940 The electronic muscle stimulator or EMS is the latest equipment that makes use of the most effective Transcutaneous Electrical Muscle Stimulation. Herein, the low electrical energy produces a tingling feeling and the low muscle stimulation. This feeling is aroused by electrodes which work directly on the affected area. Recently several benefits of electronic muscle stimulator have been recorded. Few of the benefits of buying muscle stimulator are: 1.Pain reliever: The electronic muscle stimulator helps in relieving the pain. Its massaging motion is very relaxing when applied to the affected muscle. It also provides warmth to the affected muscles which helps in speedy recovery of the muscles. You can also find the deep muscle stimulators which are well known to provide superb massage experience which helps in soothing your fatigued muscles and helps in reliving the pain. 2.Mild yet effective muscle massage: The EMS rotating motion gives you a mild massage right at the comfort of your home. It supports the relaxation and contraction of the muscles and thus results in perfect toning of the muscles.

Effective screening and optimization for bioprocess development requires accurate monitoring and tight control of operating conditions. The METTLER TOLEDO literature review determined that PATs such as in situ monitoring are being used effectively to optimize bioprocesses in a manner unachievable by traditional methods of offline sampling. Mr. Redman explained, "In our analysis, it became clear that for complex cell systems, where flocculation and aggregation alter biomass concentration, simplistic measurements such as turbidity and optical density do not capture the entire picture. Systematically applied PATs, on the other hand, enhance process controls for better consistency. "Measurements such as Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement [FBRM] provide precise particle population measurements sensitive to changes in cell count, dimension and shape, each of which has been directly correlated to biomass. Morphologic change mechanisms and their kinetics are better quantified, which allows for real-time cell population control," he added. Benefits were found across all processes reviewed, including fermentation, biocatalysis, peptide synthesis, and protein and peptide crystallization.Biotech Process Analytical Technology]]> PAT]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Better-Control--Healthier-Yields--Biotech-Process-Analytical-Technology/3203614 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 05:03:26 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Better-Control--Healthier-Yields--Biotech-Process-Analytical-Technology/3203614 Leading supplier of precision instruments and services METTLER TOLEDO is partnering with SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company to present a joint webinar entitled "Designing effective food safety management programs for GFSI schemes". The October 27, 2011 webinar requires pre-registration and is free of charge. Retailers, food manufacturers, foodservice companies, industry associations and governments all have one thing in common when it comes to food safety. They recognize that consumers' confidence dropped to an all time low after a number of public food crises scared consumers and the industry during the last couple of years. With consumer concerns on one side and expanding regulatory requirements on the other, food processors can find themselves caught in a web of media attention that saps employee morale and binds executive resources. Documenting manufacturing processes under uniform standards such as BRC, IFS, ISO 22000 and SQF 2000 can help put corporate focus back where it belongs - on production - by making processes as transparent and safe as possible. This co-hosted webinar will address comparison between the major GFSI approved standards, how to design an effective food safety management program and some common certification obstacles.effective food safety management programs]]> GFSI schemes]]> SGS]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Che-Webinar--Designing-Effective-Food-Safety-Management-Programs-For-Gfsi-Scheme/3149563 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 02:27:13 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Che-Webinar--Designing-Effective-Food-Safety-Management-Programs-For-Gfsi-Scheme/3149563 Various samples - several parameters During quality monitoring of raw materials, intermediate and finished products for food flavorings, it is essential that the specific weight, refractive index and pH value are accurately determined. In addition, the color of the samples often has to be determined. These measurements are used for identity verification. They ensure that the correct raw materials have been used and that the correct product has been manufactured. Most samples require the determination of several parameters. Therefore, it makes sense automate the process and determine all parameters in a single process. A vast range of different flavorings are used in the food industry, which means that flavoring manufacturers have to work with a large number of samples. In order to handle the flow of samples and results efficiently and reliably, sample changers are usually used, whereby the measurement results are transferred directly to ERP systems such as SAP. Measuring systems in which a computer controls several measuring devices from different manufacturers in addition to an autosampler have been used for several years to record and export results. Such solutions are usually developed at the customer's request and can therefore be very expensive.LiquiPhysics]]> density]]> density meter]]> refratometrs]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Quality-Monitoring-Of-Flavorings---Essential-For-Great-Tasting-Food/3118131 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 04:58:21 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Quality-Monitoring-Of-Flavorings---Essential-For-Great-Tasting-Food/3118131 Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) is a proprietary technology developed by METTLER TOLEDO's Process Analytics division. Through a number of functions and design features it improves the performance of analytical sensors while also reducing sensor lifecycle costs. Central to the ISM concept is the integration of a programmed microprocessor into the head of analytical sensors. This technology allows sensors to send not only a more accurate and reliable measurement to transmitters, but also to continually monitor themselves for signs of wear. Diagnostic algorithms stored in the microprocessor use current and historical data to predict when maintenance or calibration will next be required, as well as calculating the remaining sensor lifetime. The advance knowledge of when a sensor needs attention or will fail while in operation means maintenance or replacement can be performed before process measurements are compromised. A further benefit of ISM is the ability to pre-calibrate sensors in a convenient location and store them for quick exchange when required. During the 20-minute webinar, the presenter, Bo Ottersten (Process Analytics Application Specialist) describes the many features of ISM and explains how it can significantly improve production operations across the full range of process industries.Sensors]]> calibration of sensors]]> intelligent sensors]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Cost-effective-Maintenance-With-Intelligent-Sensors/3078166 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 02:57:24 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Cost-effective-Maintenance-With-Intelligent-Sensors/3078166
