Advanced Instruments Introduces World's Fastest High Throughput Freezing Point...( NORWOOD Mass. Oct. 1 /- Advanced ...)

NORWOOD, Mass., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Instruments, Inc. (http://www.aicompanies.com) today introduced the world's fastest freezing point osmometer to the biotechnology industry. The revolutionary high throughput Multi-Sample 20G Osmometer measures 96 samples in about 35 minutes.

Designed to automate laboratory work and reduce the time for cell culture process optimization, the high throughput Multi-Sample 20G Osmometer (http://www.aicompanies.com/20G) incorporates eight computer controlled osmometers and a robotic sample handling system, all enclosed in a safety cabinet.

"Scientists and laboratory directors face a growing need for better tools to perform cell culture process development. The new Multi-Sample 20G Osmometer meets the process parameters demanded to accurately measure at high volumes, as is customary with drug discovery," said Peter Costas, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Advanced Instruments.

With the new Multi-Sample 20G Osmometer, biotechnology researchers are equipped with:

-- Eight computer-controlled analysis units

-- Accurate osmolality measurement in clinical, industrial, and research

settings

-- Robotic system that quickly provides smooth, automated sample handling

-- Enclosed components in an easily accessible safety cabinet

-- Random-access, fully programmable system controls

-- Statistical analysis components that provide mean, standard, deviation

and coefficient of variation functions

-- Data export

-- LIMS user interface

-- Flexible reporting options and results storage/retrieval

-- Barcode reader that provides additional input options

-- Sterile consumables containment area that prevents contamination of

cell culture reactors
