ImageXpert (Booth 539)
JetXpert
ImageXpert announces JetXpert, a machine-vision system designed for the analysis of dispensed droplets in flight. Working with any frequency actuated dispensing system, JetXpert measures drop volume and velocity (for calculation of kinetic energy).

Infinite Peripherals (Booth 236)
Linea Pro
The Linea Pro is a new product that that allows a person to add barcode scanning and magnetic stripe reading to an Apple iPod Touch.

J-KEM Scientific, Inc. (Booth 674)
Voyager Robotic Microtube Station
J-KEM's Microtube station fits 24 microtiter plate racks for weighting, cherry picking and other re-arraying operations. Includes 10 microgram balance, 2D bar code scanner for $21,600. Add syringe pump for fluid transfers and spectroscopic probes.

Labcyte Inc. (Booth 256)
Echo Screening Package
Labcyte introduces revolutionary new software and consumables products that enable users to transfer many different fluid types from a single Echo instrument for multiple applications, including compound and siRNA screening, total assay assembly and PCR.

Labtronics Inc. (Booth: 642)
Nexxis iLAB
Nexxis iLAB is a new type of laboratory informatics system that uses information from all laboratory applications to automate decision making in the laboratory, control procedural execution and provide real time management of laboratory workflow.

Molecular Devices (Booth 501)
SpectraMax M3 and M4 Multi-Mode Microplate Readers
SpectraMax® M3 and M4 multi-mode microplate readers combined with industry-leading SoftMax® Pro software are a modular, upgradeable platform expanding from Molecular Devices' SpectraMax® series. Both readers offer UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence intensity and luminescence modes of detection, while the SpectraMax® M4 provides a fourth mode of detection, Time-resolved fluorescence.

Micornic North America (Booth 175)
Trinean DropSense-96 Multichannel Spectrophotometer
New polychromatic spectroscopy system combined with microfluidic chips in microplate format, providing high throughput DNA/RNA/protein quantification. Scans 96 samples in under six minutes, and compatible with automated liquid-handling equipment. No sample dilution, no clean-up.

Precise Automation (Booth 661)
Guidance 2400C Controller
The newest Precise controller, the G2400C combines the features of our other controllers (integrated servo motor drives, network communication, kinematics, machine vision and more) in a new lower cost package.

V&P Scientific, Inc. (Booth 342)
PEEK POWER Magnetic Stir Bars
A first! Strongest permanent magnet encapsulated with wear-resistant, chemical-resistant PEEK. Excelent for stirring "hard" substances such as glass/zirconium beads, metallic precipitants, or any material that damages the common PTFE stir element and contaminates the sample.

Magnetic Bead Separators for Multiwell Plates
MagSep Blocks, VP 771RM and VP 771QM, use strongest permanent magnets for collecting beads at bottom of flat-bottom plates. One for 96 well plates, other for 384. Available for use with specific Biotek Plate Washers.
