Ultra-High-Performance
LC Columns
Phenomenex Inc. has introduced Kinetex,
ultra-high-performance LC columns based on the
company’s new core-shell silica technology. These
columns meet researchers’ need to improve results and increase productivity without large capital expenditures. By delivering improvements in
speed and separation efficiency over traditional 3-
and 5-micron columns, the columns enable chromatographers to obtain performance comparable
to sub-2-micron columns without investing in
UHPLC systems.

Hand-held UV
Detector
Spectronics Corporation has
introduced the EA-160 UV in-
spection lamp, a lightweight,
portable unit ideal for detecting
stains, spills, germs and other contami-
nants on surfaces such as countertops and
food preparation areas. The lamp features a
6-watt, integrally filtered long-wave UV tube.
Its high UV intensity ensures that most contam-
ination will be easily revealed by a bright fluores-
cent glow. Weighing only 2 lbs., it is housed in
silver-anodized aluminum that makes the lamp both
attractive and rugged. A corrosion-resistant, specular alu-
minum reflector optimizes UV irradiance. For maximum comfort, the unit
comes with a convenient carrying handle.
Sensitive Melamine
Detection in Food
Bioo Scientific has introduced the
MaxSignal Melamine Enzymatic
Assay Kit to meet the food safety
industry’s need for a rapid and
inexpensive method to detect
melamine contamination in
food. This kit incorporates an
aqueous extraction method and is
able to detect melamine in food products in amounts as low as 0.2 ppm. The
complete procedure takes as little as 60 minutes from sample to results and does not require the use of expensive instrumentation.
