R-Biopharm offers a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of macadamia nut in raw and processed food such as bakery products, ice cream, cereals and chocolate. The limit of detection of RIDASCREEN®FAST Macadamia (product code R6852) is 0.64 ppm (mg/kg).

Thermometric titration is fast, simple to use, rugged, versatile and unique.
In thermometric titration, the temperature change during a chemical reaction is used for the endpoint detection. This temperature change takes place only while the titrant reacts with the analyte. This makes endpoint detection very easy!
Consequently, the thermometric titrator is the ideal solution for difficult samples with complex matrices that cannot be titrated potentiometrically.

VitaFast Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) is an enzymatic test in microtiter plate format for the quantitative determination of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) in food, pharmaceutical products and other sample materials.

Two new single-use USB data loggers for temperature monitoring of temperature sensitive goods during transport: the EBI 330-T30 and the EBI 330-T85. These loggers are ideal for Pharmaceutical or life science shipments where returning a more expensive multi-use logger after a shipment is difficult. All the user must do is: start the logger and place it with the shipment. The receiver simply plugs it into a computer, and is able to read the automatically generated pdf report. There are no further hassles with returning the logger to the sender!
