Reaction optimization by parallel kinetic studies with the POLARstar Omega
22 Aug 2008: The yields of chemical reactions may vary considerably with parameters such as solvent, catalyst, temperature and reaction time. This application note monitors the metallation of a porphyrin with zinc as a function of solvent. Monitoring is ideally suited to the BMG LABTECH POLARstar Omega microplate reader due to its ability to acquire a full UV-visible absorbance spectrum of each well in less than one second. BMG LABTECH

Quality Control by Refractometry of Mineral Oils and By-Products
15 Aug 2008: The characterisation of the purity of oils, waxes, fats and other by-products of the raffination process of mineral oils is easily done with an ABBE-refractometer. Nowadays the standard instrument should be an automatic refractometer with a minimum resolution of 0.0001 nD. The KRÜSS refractometer model DR6300-T the temperature is controlled through a built-in peltier-thermostate which controls in the range 10 - 80°C with an accuracy of 0.1°C. A.Kruess Optronic GmbH
