With VIDAS®, we offer you a high performance solution for your food pathogen detection operations.

The air can be a serious contamination source, it is therefore essential for your lab to regularly evaluate the quality of the environment. Validated by the Health Protection Agency (HPA, UK), SAMPL’AIR™ is a high efficiency microbial air sampler with a microorganism collection rate of 99, even with the smallest particles. It is the ideal solution if you wish to regularly perform thorough air quality control.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique for determining the elemental composition of a sample. The MS principle consists of ionizing chemical compounds to generate charged molecules and to measure their mass-to-charge ratio.

Fully automated microbial identification system increased productivity & safety, full traceability and rapid results. VITEK® 2 Compact includes an extended identification database, which enables you to detect a larger range of microorganisms. All identification stages from reading to the recording of results are automated, optimizing workflow. As the system operates with bar-coded cards, full traceability is ensured and the risk of transcription errors is minimized. The efficiency of the VITEK® 2 Compact system relies on the advanced colorimetry technology: the system reads the latest generation VITEK®test cards – containing 64 wells to ensure accuracy – every 15 minutes using three different wavelengths. With this technique, more data is analyzed, which increases results accuracy. With this system, both set-up and response time are reduced – time to result from 2 to 18 hours . VITEK® 2 Compact software is extremely intuitive and therefore requires less technician training, which results in higher productivity.

Upgradeable Plate Readers 

The Omega Plate Reader Series offers true flexibility to provide you with the perfect reader to fulfill your requirements: from an absorbance-only SPECTROstar or luminescence-only LUMIstar to a fully equipped FLUOstar Omega. Your chosen instrument can also be upgraded at any time if you need more features or additional detection modes.

The CLARIOstar Plus is a multi-mode microplate reader with advanced LVF Monochromators™, highly sensitive filters, and an ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer. The Enhanced Dynamic Range and automatic focus technologies make manual settings superfluous and detection optimisation easier than ever.

Atmospheric Control Unit, temperature incubation, multiple shaking, well scan and reagent injectors make the CLARIOstar Plus the ideal platform for any live cell-based assay.

SPECTROstar Nano 

The SPECTROstar Nano is equipped with BMG LABTECH’s ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer, which allows users to measure full-spectrum absorbance (220 – 1000 nm) in less than 1 second per well. It is the ideal instrument to read all absorbance assays in a microplate or cuvette – with many common assay protocols predefined and available at the click of the mouse.

VANTAstar 

The VANTAstar is an upgradable multi-mode microplate reader compatible with all plate formats up to 384 wells. The Enhanced Dynamic Range (EDR) technology, a fast full-plate auto-focus, and luminescence crosstalk reduction make assay detection easier than ever and manual optimization superfluous.

With its Atmospheric Control Unit for gas control, temperature incubation, multiple shaking options, well scan and reagent injectors with heater and stirrer, the VANTAstar supports all live cell-based assays. The VANTAstar is also available with only filter-based detection. Check here for more details about the VANTAstar F.

The most popular Brookfield viscometer now measures gel time using unique magnetic coupling that attaches the glass rod to instrument. When gel time is reached, display shows both gel time and equivalent viscosity value. Glass rod is quickly and easily detached from instrument.  Integrated temperature probe provides peak exotherm data if needed.

Gel Timer DV2T comes with glass measurement rod, compression-fit glass rod adapter, lab stand with adjustable stop for quickly positioning glass rod at proper immersion depth in test sample, and temperature probe. Test method can be run either manually or using program stored in instrument memory. Accuracy and reliability of Gel Timer DV2T make this instrument the preferred choice in QC for measuring gel coats, resins, and potting compounds. Viscosity data generated during the test may also prove helpful for complete characterization of material flow behavior.

Packs of 10 glass rods are available; use part number GT-1010. Spare magnetic couplings can be retrofit to existing viscometers; use part number GT-2000.

The DV2T Gel-Timer instrument can also be used as a standard rotational viscometer with the purchase of any standard viscometer spindle set or measurement accessory and carries all of the same viscometry functions as a standard DV2T.

Brookfield provides a variety of viscosity measurement and control systems used throughout the world for many different applications.

Ease of use, flexibility, reliable performance and quality of service have made Brookfield Laboratory Viscometers favorites all over the world.

The PFT Powder Flow Tester delivers quick and easy analysis of powder flow behavior in industrial processing equipment. It is ideal for manufacturers who process powders daily and want to minimize or eliminate downtime and expense that can occur when hoppers discharge erratically or fail to discharge altogether.

To measure viscosity at a controlled shear rate, at a controlled shear stress or to make a direct yield stress measurement, Brookfield has a Rheometer to meet your need.

The Brookfield CT3 Texture Analyzer is a powerful universal testing machine that offers both compression and tensile testing at a much lower price than other testers in its class.

Now available, our New CTX Texture Analyzer is an advanced model for compression and tension testing of materials.  It allows quick, efficient testing for busy labs that need to improve productivity while maintaining quality.
