IDEX Health & Science, LCC, the global authority in fluidics and optics for the life sciences market, showcases its newly expanded fluidic and optical components and support at analytica 2016.

This unique combination of fluidic and optical capabilities assists customers in speeding up their time to market and supports the company’s strategic vision to enhance the complete development path with intelligent solutions for life.

Visitors to analytica will be introduced to IDEX Health & Science’s newly expanded portfolio of fluidic and optical technologies; driven by its recent integration of Semrock and Melles Griot, and the acquisition of CIDRA® Precision Services, announced last July. The fusion between fluidics and optics is further enhanced through the support of IDEX Health & Science’s engineering experts, who share their wealth of engineering expertise, and decades of industry knowledge.

The combination of fluidics and optics allows IDEX Health & Science to deliver a complete spectrum of highly engineered solutions, including rapid prototyping tools that bring together fluidics and optics to support the complete development path for life science instrumentation. This unique blend of programs makes innovation easier and faster than ever.

The range and support on offer includes:

  • Fluidic components and integrated assemblies, including: Fluidic Connections, Valves, Pumps, Degassers, Column Hardware, Manifolds, Flow Cells, Microfluidic Consumables, Sensors, and Integrated Fluidic Systems
  • Optic components and assemblies, including: Optical Filters, Lenses, Shutters, Lasers & Light Engines, and Integrated Optical Systems
  • Rapid response programs for reduced development time
  • Custom module development
  • Design for manufacturing integration

“The realm of life sciences changes at a rapid pace and our aim is to provide continued support to our customers, to meet their most demanding challenges, and accelerate their time-to-market through a better alignment of people, products, and engineering resources. The fusion of optics and fluidics will enable IDEX Health & Science to continue to exceed customer needs and ensure success,” said Gus Salem, Group President of IDEX Health & Science.

“With the launch of our new optofluidic portfolio, we are excited to be able to add significant value to our customers’ development processes, such as dramatically reducing their production and after-market costs,” Salem continued. “analytica is the leading fair for state-of-the-art laboratory technology, and we look forward to meeting with customers, partners and key thought leaders to share our new strategic approach and innovative technologies.”

IDEX Health & Science will also be highlighting their MarvelX™ line of next generation connection systems at the show. The MarvelX UHPLC connection system is designed to offer improved routing throughout instrumentation. Innovative features include: biocompatibility, a system requiring no tools or expert equipment to install, tubing that allows flexibility to route throughout an instrument, and connections that are reusable up to 200 times, with an innovative removable nut element for greater flexibility and affordability.

The Group President of IDEX Health & Science, Gus Salem, will be leading an Industry News Event at analytica on Wednesday, May 11th at 15:30 PM (3:30 PM). Salem will share insights on how to leverage intelligent solutions to maximize system performance for early design and rapid innovation. Meet Salem and join the discussion in the Press-Conference-Room at Press-Center West, 2nd Floor.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away. Find the best robotic workstations in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Automation Supplies / AccessoriesAutomated accessories and consumables make lab processes fast, efficient and reliable. Useful automation accessories include microplate sealers, label printers and reagent reservoirs.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.
