YSI
YSI has announced an addition to its 2900 series of biochemistry analysers, the 2950. The 2900 series of instruments can measure a wide range of important chemistries, sugars and nutrients for the bioprocess, biopharmaceutical, biofuels and food and beverage markets.
The YSI 2900 series is a flexible, modular platform, with a range of configurations, options and accessories to meet laboratory needs. The base platform is the YSI 2900, with the 2950 platform being configurable with up to three sensor modules capable of measuring up to six chemistries from glucose, lactate, glutamine, glutamate, xylose, ethanol, methanol, sucrose, galactose, lactose, choline, glycerol and hydrogen peroxide, plus ISE measurement of ammonium and potassium.
Fast and accurate results are available in one minute or less, with integrated auto sampler, anti-clogging design, flexible sampling and connectivity.
Calibrator and buffer bottles have optional reagent level sensing and the 2900 series can accept a wide range of sample holders, including any standard, 96 well, 4, 8 and 24 place test tube holders and microcentrifuge tubes. Evaporation of volatile analytes like methanol and ethanol is not a worry — the sipper needle is capable of piercing and sampling from a range of films available to seal 96 well plates.
The large, icon-driven touchscreen and on-board training videos make operation simple and the screen is programmable in a number of foreign languages.
