iCHEMS - Chemical Inventory Tracking for Laboratories

Singapore - Feb. 6, 2008…Chemical inventory management has been somewhat neglected by software developers because chemical stockrooms are not regulated by Government agencies even in pharmaceutical companies. The rise in cost of chemicals and reagents as well as the trend towards a paperless office require that laboratory personnel track inventory electronically.

iCHEMS integrates a robust chemical information database management system with a front-end interface focusing on the cabinet. The highlight of the software is that it tracks the usage of chemicals robustly. Similar to the way library books are checked-in and checked-out, the system not only captures, creates, and stores information of any new or existing laboratory chemicals, but also it executes and maintains it in a real-time and consistent manner.

Lambert Instruments exhibiting at BiOS 2008 and SPIE Photonics West

Leutingewolde, The Netherlands - Jan. 18, 2008…SPIE Photonic West is the only photonics event in North America covering the entire spectrum of light-driven technologies.

BiOS 2008 (part of SPIE Photonic West) is the world’s largest and most prestigious international biomedical optics and imaging conference. The BiOS exhibition provides the ideal venue for interacting with the early adopters of the newest biomedical technologies, as well as a launch pad for new applications and technologies in diagnostics, therapeutics, and instrumentation. For companies involved in biomedical optics, BiOS is the place to see and be seen.

Biomedical Optics Exhibition: January 19-20, 2008

PEAKS Studio 4.5 - De Novo Sequencing Software

Waterloo, Canada - July 10, 2007…BSI (Bioinformatics Solutions Inc.) announced today, their much anticipated release of PEAKS 4.5 for peptide mass spectrometry analysis. PEAKS, known for its leadership role in de novo sequencing (sequencing of peptides not present in any database) is once again guiding tandem mass spectrometry researchers into in a new era of data analysis through sequence reconstruction. Accurate sequence reconstruction is performed by the built in SPIDER tool, which has been demonstrated to increase peptide findings by upwards of approximately 20%.

Other cutting-edge enhancements to PEAKS help researchers to identify peptides using predicted retention time. PEAKS provides all of the necessary tools for superior peptide sequence derivation and protein identification from tandem MS/MS spectra - all within an intuitive graphical interface. PEAKS Studio 4.5 provides fast, accurate results for spectra from both sequenced and unsequenced organisms. Instrument Capabilities: Researchers are now fully capable of processing raw data, straight from their instruments (Agilent, Bruker, Shimadzu, Thermo and Waters to name a few).

Clarinox Technologies Introduces ClarinoxEdel Smart Sensor System

Melbourne, Australia - June 18, 2007…Clarinox Technologies Pty Ltd, home of wireless and embedded systems solutions, in collaboration with Edel Mikroelektronik announces the ClarinoxEdel Smart Sensor range of products.

The ClarinoxEdel Smart Sensor System is a low-power sensor system comprised of smart tags, smart readers, and smart software. The system can be used to measure, log and store parameters such as environmental temperature or humidity. As tags are active they can also form part of an on/off control system. Applications range from intelligent inventory, depot management, agricultural applications, industrial climatic monitoring to item and asset tracking the ClarinoxEdel Smart Sensor System makes life easier for developers.

PEAKS at ASMS 2007

Waterloo, Canada - June 8, 2007…Bioinformatics Solutions Inc. (BSI) has completed another successful ASMS Conference. Two new tools introduced were the new SPIDER, which leads to better understanding of proteins by finding mutated peptides, and inChorus, that lets you directly launch multiple search engines (including Sequest and Mascot) to get better results.

Other improvements allow you to better organize your findings, export results. In short, you can easily integrate de novo sequencing with your other tools — that’s important because you’ll never get better confirmation of peptide hits, and you’ll pick up new peptides that couldn’t be found any other way.

Clarinox Technologies and Advanced Labs at CommunicAsia 2007

Singapore, Singapore - May 14, 2007…Clarinox Technologies Pty Ltd together with Advanced Labs Pte Ltd will exhibit at CommunicAsia 2007 (June 19-22 at Singapore EXPO). You can find us at Booth #3J1-03 within the Australian National Pavilion.

Clarinox simplifies complex electronic device designs. The ClarinoxTMBlue V2.0 + EDR Bluetooth protocol is now available for an even larger range of target platforms. Designers can now easily add Bluetooth technology to their designs and have the flexibility to use their applications on other platforms.

“Modern complex electronic device designs require the selection of the most appropriate hardware, RTOS, middleware, drivers and protocols to combine neatly to provide the best base for the application layer development. This task can be quite complex and often needs to be completely redone for the next design.” Says Gokhan Tanyeri, CTO, Clarinox Technologies, “the middleware from Clarinox Technologies allows much greater reuse of application layer for the next project and allows greater flexibility to change target within the design cycle should design criteria change. This results is large savings for companies developing complex wireless electronics.”

Lambert Instruments Announces New Gated Intensified High-Speed Camera

Leutingewolde, The Netherlands - April 16, 2007…Lambert Instruments has extended the range of it’s high-speed camera product line with the “new” HI-CAM CR, gated intensified high-speed camera.

The HI-CAM CR records images up to 100,000 fps allowing recording of fast events at high time-resolution. At the same time, the HI-CAM CR offers single photon detection capability. Fast moving objects are recorded sharply by shuttering the image intensifier down to 40ns and optionally 5ns.

The dual stage image intensifier is specially designed for the use in high-speed cameras. (Photocathodes with different spectral response from the UV to the near IR are available). Enhanced maximum output brightness results in a optimal signal/noise ratio at high frame rates. The intensifier is coupled to the CMOS sensor by using tapered fiber optics that matches the intensifier to the sensor format.
