Product news

Merck, a leading science and technology company, will exhibit a new range of products and solutions at analytica 2016, the international trade fair for laboratory technology, analysis and biotechnology, held May 10-13 in Munich, Germany.

Innovations that enable faster, easier and more reliable research, including the CellASIC™ ONIX 2 Microfluidic Platform, a tool for live cell analysis are among Merck's products on display at booth #A1408.

"Merck's new products exemplify our commitment to developing solutions that solve difficult challenges for our customers," said Udit Batra, Member of the Merck Executive Board and CEO, Life Science. "Merck has a proven track record in life science and continues to innovate with our new CellASIC™ Platform."

The CellASIC™ Platform allows researchers to monitor responses to perfusion, temperature and gas environment changes in live cells and track individual cell responses over time for truly dynamic cellular analysis. It also offers constant, stable imaging conditions while maintaining the health of cells, and combines the highest precision controls, superior functionality and simplest user interface for a unique live cell analysis experience.

Merck will also showcase the following innovations at the show:

  • Amicon® Stirred Cells – New ultrafiltration devices compatible with large-volume samples and offer easier set-up, more secure assembly, better device integrity and compatibility with more membranes.
  • Samplicity® G2 Filtration System – A new technology that provides a convenient, high throughput alternative to syringe-tip filters for chromatography sample prep.
  • Spectroquant® Prove Spectrophotometers – New class of spectrophotometers which allow simplified, durable and secure analysis of waste water, drinking water, beverages and process water.

Amicon® Pro Purification System

Merck

Introducing an all-in-one centrifugal device for the protein purification workflow.Traditional protein purification is a long process with many steps and multiple devices, often resulting in protein degradation and loss. Avoid the risks associated with sample transfer and reduce hands-on time when you bind, wash, elute and/or concentrate your protein in the all-in-one Amicon® Pro purification system. No matter what your workflow, the Amicon® Pro system delivers consistent, accurate sample preparation, resulting in more reliable recovery, uncompromised purity and easier data generation.Not only does the Amicon® Pro purification system represent a game-changing improvement in general affinity purification, but it also transforms applications such as depletion of abundant proteins, protein enrichment, buffer exchange and clean-up of antibody labeling reactions.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices. Find the best filtration products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Preparative ChromatographyPreparative chromatography equipment is used for purification purposes, separating and collecting compounds eluted from a mixture which can then be subsequently used for further purposes. This can be done in large quantities or small. Preparative chromatography systems are usually low to medium pressure liquid chromatographs that are semi-automated. Explore a range of preparative columns and fraction collectors. Find the best preparative chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Food and Beverage AnalyzersFood and Beverage Analyzers are commonly used to provide information about the chemical composition, structure and physical properties of food materials.Food and Beverage ProcessingFood and Beverage Processing involves the preparation of food products for further analysis. Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.Waste WaterUltrafiltrationHigh ThroughputHigh throughput experiments allow the simultaneous processing of several samples. This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.ChromatographyChromatography is a powerful technique used to separate and analyze components of mixtures based on their chemical properties. It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results.
