We truly apologize for the mistake that we made in terms of the offer of additional years of parts warranty for Denver Balances in our Denver 1-for-1 programme that was just recently launched. All the balances under this program will have an additional 24 months of parts warranty after the first year of usage. There is a 1-for-1 exchange during the first year.

Nautilus from ThermoFisher is a LIMS designed for the dynamic lab
July 23rd, 2008 ·
To accelerate new discoveries in order to market faster than ever before, Drug Discovery and R&D environments must be diverse in nature and be able to change at an instant. These kind of dynamic environments with very high throughputs demand a purpose-built laboratory information management system (LIMS) that users can intuitively and easily configure to get up to speed quickly. The laboratory will benefit from a LIMS solution that is unhindered and move in tandem tothe pace of their research, all the while retaining the ability to integrate regulated processes that adhere to standards like GLP and 21 CFR Part 11.
Thermo Scientific Nautilus LIMS offers unmatched flexibility and ease-of-use while increasing automation and throughput of sample analysis. By incorporating automated complex plate-handling functionality and patented graphical utilities to facilitate data tracking and management, novice users can map and track processes with ease. Clients can create workflows, map sample lifecycles and automate actions. Manual and error-prone activities are eliminated, while throughput, productivity and accuracy are enhanced. Nautilus offer many benefits, the key being
Easy Configuration and Maintenance
Nautilus’ graphical interface and patented Workflows emulate and model laboratory processes so usage becomes intuitive. These features expedite the mapping of static and dynamic processes, allowing users to organize data and do their jobs quickly and effectively without programming. With equal ease, Nautilus delivers data capture, integration and automation capabilities out-of-the-box. This eliminates transcription errors and provides users with access to both raw and derived data. By improving efficiencies and data reliability, users can make more informed decisions even faster.


Results can be entered or viewed using the web or within the
Nautilus clients. The full power of Nautilus is accessible
using a windows client or a standard web service.
Increase Throughput with Plate Handling and Automation

Nautilus lets you easily visualize plates. You can check
the amounts of samples and drill into a well to expose
the entire hierarchy and relevant information such as
where the sample originated.
A short learning curve, easy integration and automation result in a rapid return on investment and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Nautilus does this by simplifying definition of plate configurations and fill patterns, letting users build and format work-action and decision-tree processes against project requirements. Advanced plate handling within Nautilus includes graphical workflows, plate editors, and built-in integration functionality that enables increased throughput and automation. Users can automate data flow or manipulate it manually, using capabilities like drag-and-drop within a graphical plate editor. Previously disparate systems can now be integrated to allow for data to be electronically passed between them, eliminating manual error-prone processes and increasing productivity and data reliability . To learn more about Nautilus and plate handling, download a poster showing how Nautilus is used to manage plate handling.
Unifying LIMS and Analytical Instrument Data
Until now, LIMS and analytical systems have been autonomous and disparate. The Data Manager solution in Nautilus can now fully integrate these two platforms by providing the ability to store raw data from instrumentation and converting this data to a platform-independent format. With this users can make informed decisions since they have access to all of their instrument data in a single interface. Users can compare analyses from disparate instruments and overlay the results. Data Manager bridges the gap, maximizing the value of existing analytical instruments and protecting investments in the future. No other LIMS can offer the scope, breadth and depth of this functionality.
Fully Auditable and Compliant
Users can easily configure Nautilus for processes that need validation or that operate in the spirit of GLP. In mixed environments, Nautilus security allows regulated data to be kept separate from unregulated processes. Nautilus has a configurable electronic signature template and audit capabilities to comply with 21 CFR Part 11, keeping users aware of what processes they must follow. Nautilus’ database design fully utilizes an Oracle RDBMS to enforce data security, auditing and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. The unique architecture enables integration with the entire laboratory in a flexible, secure manner.

Participate in MUI’s There’s Power In Numbers and get volume pricing even if you buy just one
July 14th, 2008 ·
There is power in numbers and the latest programme to be launched by MUI gathers all potential buyers for a certain product and using this volume purchase power, negotiate for the lowest possible pricing from the supplier. How does it work?
MUI will first select a product for the month, and negotiate for a very good price for a certain quantity. For example, for August, we have negotiated with a supplier for the lowest pricing possible for a range of cabinets of different sizes. In order for us to get this pricing, we will have to deliver a certain quantity as orders.
We offer the pricing and products to all our customers for 2 weeks. At the end of the two weeks, we gather all the orders together. If we are able to reach the minimum quantity specified by the supplier collectively, MUI will inform you to obtain a formal purchase order from you. If we exceed the minimum quantities, MUI will try to negotiate for even more discounts and pass these discounts back to you.
However, if we are not able to obtain the minimum quantities required, MUI will inform you and the programme for that month will be canceled. Or extended.
We will post more information about this programme as well as information and pricing on the cabinets soon. So come back end of July to get more information.

Kimble and Kimax from VWR - Promotion
May 2nd, 2008 ·

Same same but different. All glassware are not created equal. Kimble and Kimax glassware are vastly more superior. They last longer and are better designed. At the end of the day, it is not the one time cost that matters, but it is the life-time cost that determines whether you are getting your money’s worth. For example, you may pay only SGD$2 for a bicre but if it breaks within 10 usages, the per usage it actually costs you $0.20 per usage. If you buy a Kimble bicre at $5, but it breaks only after 100 usages, you are effectively paying $0.05 per usage. You will need to buy $20 worth of the low quality bicre just to match that single Kimble bicre, which means you will be effectively much more over the long run! And now with special pricing for Kimble and Kimax products during this promotion, your life time cost for the glassware is even lower! Do have a look at MUI’s pricing for Kimble and Kimax glassware during this promotion. You can contact us for a quote for items that you are interested in or you can register for our Electronic Quote to get instant pricing. If you would like to find out what glassware is available, just do a search at the VWR website by keying in Kimble Kimax as the keywords. |
