Grant Instruments

Grant Instruments has further expanded the Grant-bio product range with the introduction a compact and efficient benchtop densitometer for quick and accurate measurement of cell suspension turbidity and cell concentration across a wide variety of life science, microbiology and industrial applications.
The Grant-bio DEN-1 densitometer is factory calibrated and able to measure turbidity in the range of 0.3 to 5.0 McFarland units with a small standard deviation. The range can
be extended up to 15 McFarland units but with a concomitant increase in the standard deviation. It can also be user calibrated with commercial standards or cell suspensions prepared in the laboratory. Accurate to ±3%, the unit features
a light diode at 565nm wavelength and boasts a measurement time of around one second per sample.

The alliance between Asynt and Grant Instruments has resulted in the launch of a novel continuous flow reactor, the Uniqsis FlowSyn. The FlowSyn is designed to speed up the drug discovery process and offers an affordable solution for the chemical laboratory. The FlowSyn is the first commercial
system to fully integrate all the essential elements for continuous flow chemistry into a single, easy to use package. FlowSyn
is simple to operate and offers safe, unattended operation for tasks such as synthesis, reaction optimisation and scale up experiments, in quantities from milligrams to hundreds of grams. Synthesis in micro-reactors has many advantages over batch processing - better reproducibility and scalability,
improved yields and safe handling of unstable intermediates.

Grant Instruments has unveiled two brand new quality ranges of unstirred water baths. Modern, easy-to-use, reliable, robust and competitively priced, the SUB Aqua (digital) and JB Aqua (analogue) families are designed to meet the everyday needs of customers in general laboratories, including life sciences and educational establishments. The SUB Aqua and JB Aqua ranges, which feature 7 models in each range and a whole raft of accessories, immediately set a new standard for water baths, offering high performance and value-for-money in the market, combined with the renowned Grant quality and reliability. The stylish new baths are available in a wide range of stainless steel tank sizes (2, 5, 12, 18 and 26-litre) including a compact, shallow 2-litre water bath ideal for use with microtubes in life science applications.
