Product news

Hamilton Company has announced an addition to its Arc family of transmitter-free sensors – the Polylite Plus ORP (oxidation-reduction potential). The new ORP sensor expands Hamilton’s Arc line, which has changed process measurement by eliminating the need for transmitters. The Polilyte sensors feature Hamilton’s proprietary Polisolve electrolyte, which is stable to most organic solvents, even in harsh environments. These robust sensors deliver reproducible measurements and are ideal for high-pressure water, wastewater and chemical applications. They can be steam-sterilized, autoclaved or cleaned in place (CIP).

Arc sensors communicate directly with the process control system, with both analog
(4 – 20mA) and digital Modbus interfaces, delivering high-quality signals for reliable readings. The Arc technology also enables in-lab precalibration and configuration, reducing costs associated with installation and downtime.

“We are pleased to extend our Arc technology to ORP measurement in harsh environments,” explains Amber Ratcliff, market segment manager for Hamilton. “The ARC line eliminates costly transmitters and interference issues while delivering reliable and robust signals.”

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.

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.pH and Conductivity MetersIon and pH meters, used for electrochemical techniques and measurements, measure the concentration of specific ions using electrodes (probes) and a meter. Features of ph and ion meters to consider include temperature compensation, auto-calibration, adjustable resolution, measurable range and accuracy. Meters can be handheld, portable, benchtop and modular.Oxidation Reduction PotentialHigh-Pressure Water
