Press Releases and Product News

	October 03, 2003 SPECTROCELL Electroporation Cuvettes
	Spectrocell introduces Electroporation Cuvettes in popular sizes; 1mm, 2mm, and 4mm gaps. High quality and economical, these cuvettes designed for use in electroporation and electrofusion of bacteria, yeast, insect, plant and mammalian cells. All cuvettes are sterilized and individually sealed in it's own plastic bag. Spectrocell Electroporation Cuvettes are molded with embedded aluminum electrodes. Round friction-fit caps are leak resistant. Spectrocell Electroporation Cuvettes are priced to be truly disposable, discard after use. Product availability: Immediate - Electroporation Cuvettes

	January 11, 2002 *SPECTROCELL* AR and MIRROR COATED CELLS
	All Spectrocell cells and cuvettes are now available with anti-reflection (AR) and mirror coatings at reasonable prices. The most commonly used AR cells are now stocked at our facility for immediate shipment.

	April 6, 2001 SPECTROCELL ICP Ware
	Over the years, many Spectrocell customers, impressed by our high quality and competitively priced cuvettes, have requested us to provide ICP ware for their labs. Now, after 2 years in development, Spectrocell is proud to announce the availability of ICP torches, spray chambers, nebulizers, and other replacement parts. All critical components of our torches are fabricated from quartz precision bore tubing, insuring absolute repeatability. Stringent quality standards are applied to every step in the manufacturing process from the beginning precision bore tubing through final annealing and inspection. For this reason, it is possible for us to *guarantee that the specifications on our torches matches, or exceeds, the tolerances held by the original equipment manufacturer.*


	June 1, 2000 SPECTROCELL Gas Filled Cells
	Spectrocell has the capability to provide quartz or borosilicate glass cells that contain pure gases, or mixtures of pure gases, as specified by the user. Such cells are used as calibration standards or for other applications where a repeatable spectrum is desirable. The cell is evacuated down to 10 microns of pressure and then purged with the gas or gas mixture. The cell is then permanently sealed closed by fusing shut the filling aperture. The pressure of gas in the cell can generally be controlled very accurately from about 750 torr (.985 atmosphere) down to 50 to 60 Pa (about 0.5 torr). Exact pressures and specific repeatability are dependant on the specific gas or gas mixture required. Once sealed closed the lifetime of the cell is very long and limited only by the permeability of the glass or quartz itself to the particular gases involved. Contact our technical sales department with your requirements for a prompt quotation.



	August 5, 1998 SPECTROCELL Polystyrene MicroPlates
	SPECTROCELL is now pleased to introduce a new generation of Microplates. The SPECTROCELL SMP Series of Quartz Microwell plates offers several advantages for these tests due to their inherent resistance to solvents, acids and hydroxides. However, for applications not requiring these features, we offer the Polystyrene Microplates. These Microplates are made from high quality clear polystyrene and feature: Compatible with plate readers, washers & dispensers. Alpha numeric coordinates Excellent optical clarity Uniform surfaces Available with 3 different well shapes - Suitable for immunoassays (ELISA / EIA), and other diagnostic tests such as geometric dilutions, blood group serology, hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests, antibody tests, antistreptolysin-O-titer determination, and complement fixation reactions. Sterile Microplates are provided with lids




	March 12, 1998 *SPECTROCELL* releases portable Luminometer!
	The new SPECTROCELL INSPECTOR II Luminometer is the first sanitation control system to meet all the requirements for implementing and maintaining your HACCP program. Developed based on extensive field investigation involving both industry as well as inspection agencies, the INSPECTOR makes it possible to utilize rapid microbiological testing procedures for monitoring critical control points that are compatible with standard methods and which also provide data recording and transfer capability. The system comes complete with printer, digital pipettor, power supply, reagent kit and carrying case at a low cost and provides the following: System flexibility for variety of tests. Automated injection allows rapid, error-free tests and permits repeatability and the low MDL's. On-board data storage & downloading allows easy recording and printing.



	March 10, 1998 SPECTROCELL releases the latest development in microplate technology!
	PITTCON '98 provided an ideal platform for users to discuss their needs and concerns in the analysis of proteins, DNA and other sensitive compounds in clinical and microbiological samples. The new SPECTROCELL SMP Series of Quartz microwell plates offers several advantages for these tests due to their inherent resistance to solvents, acids and hydroxides. Designed specifically for these sensitive analysis, the microplates minimize background problems, increase signal to noise ratio and savings in reagents. The 8 (SMP-308, SMP-308b) and 96 (SMP-396, SMP-396b) position microplates are manufactured by fusing the base and body under controlled conditions for an air tight seal. These microplates are available in clear quartz for UV-VIS applications and in self-masking (black) body for fluorescence. The microplates are guaranteed to be free of defects and contaminants and polished to meet the most exacting flat optical specification. Their stability at high temperature allows for autoclaving and sterilization. The SPECTROCELL microplates have the same number, dimension, layout and volume as the standard plastic microplates to be easily interchanged for your special applications. Microplates in other custom sizes and numbers are available.
