CHEMICAL MELTING POINTS - SHOULD IT BE SOLID OR LIQUID?

• Some chemicals have melting points which lie within a range covering typical room temperatures, chemical storage room

temperatures & temperatures which might be encountered in our warehouse or during delivery (particularly in winter)

• The consequence of this is that these chemicals may be in either a solid or liquid state on arrival, or when required for use
• If they have solidified (due to lower temperatures) then they will need re-melting some time before use. Please note that the

temperature may have to be raised somewhat higher than the stated melting point of the chemical in order for it to melt
(liquefy) - which may take an hour or two

• The best method is to gradually raise the temperature, by placing the chemical container in a water bath or jug of hot

(not boiling) water and allowing it to gradually come up to temperature. Please note that some of these chemicals are
flammable, so no naked flames or high temperatures should be used during this process. It is probably better to loosen the
lids to allow for any expansion or gas escape, and is best carried out in a fume cupboard

SELLER sure that the correct sterilisation conditions have been achieved.
Please note: Autoclaves should never be overfilled, as they will struggle to

CLINICAL CENTRIFUGES

2 CENTRIFUGE, CLINICAL

Although competitively priced to suit education budgets this centrifuge has been
designed to be used in Medical and University research laboratories. Some of
the main uses include separation of serum, plasma, urea and blood samples.
With a speed range of 300-4500rpm and a maximum rotor capability of 8 x
15ml tubes the clinical centrifuge allows precise control of time and speed
ensuring an efficient separation process. The centrifuge also has 15ml cell
culture tubes and a full line of collection tubes which is ideal for a clinical
laboratory. The stable design and noise level of less than 56dB allows the
centrifuge to work without becoming a disturbance in your laboratory.

The centrifuge’s CPU controls all operating parameters including speed and
time settings.

Operation of the centrifuge can be timed from 30 seconds to 99 minutes or
can be run in continuous mode. Timing will only commence when the set
speed is reached ensuring that the separation time is highly accurate. The
centrifuge breaks gently to preserve separation and not damage samples.

The large, user friendly LCD screen displays all information including RPM and
G Force. Parameters of the centrifuge can be set and modified after the set
speed is reached. A quick spin mode is also available which is activated by
pressing and holding the ‘PULSE’ button. The centrifuge can be accelerated to
the required speed and held for as long as the button is held down and also
has an automatic lid release. When the process is finished this saves time and
protects samples from heat build-up.

1 S IGNAL GENERATOR 1 SIGNAL GENERATOR

This has to be the best signal/function generator available for educational use!

Developed in conjunction with physics teachers and designed specifically for
education, this unit provides all the functionality you need for physics teaching.
A really useful feature for those less familiar with using signal generators is
that for basic use, you just operate two buttons: One for frequency and one
for amplitude - that’s it! There is, of course, far more sophistication for those
who require it. If you want to change waveform or to utilise the step and sweep
modes, the display keeps you updated on the status of the generator.

Unique frequency control: The frequency is set by a speed sensitive button. Turn
slowly to set the display’s last digit, turn faster and the response accelerates -
designed to work intuitively in practical experiments.

Drives speakers, vibration generator etc. directly: The built-in 10 W power
amplifier effortlessly drives power appliances e.g. vibration generator. The
amplifier can deliver more than 1 amp for all frequencies between 0.001 Hz
and 100 kHz.

Step mode: In many applications you need to study a physical system at
a fundamental frequency and at different multiples of that frequency. The
special step feature makes this task incredibly easy. Once the fundamental
frequency has been determined (e.g. of a spring connected to a vibration
generator), other harmonics (or overtones) can be demonstrated by simply
pressing a button, which changes the frequency to progressive multiples of the
fundamental frequency.

Sweep mode: The generator can sweep through a frequency range in order to
discover eventual resonances. You decide the frequency range and the speed.
You have the choice between a linear sweep (fixed number of Hz per unit time)
and a logarithmic sweep (fixed number of octaves per unit time).

SIGNAL GENERATOR Advanced Features: The generator connects to your PC through a standard
IN USE USB cable and acts as a USB flash drive. Custom defined waveforms (e.g.
created by means of a spreadsheet) can be saved to the generator. Sequences
of settings can be programmed for automatic execution.

simplified, for basic use you just

operate two buttons, one for frequency

and one for amplitude - that’s it! For

more sophistication you can change

waveform or utilise the stop and sweep

3 HIGH TENSION (HT) POWER SUPPLY 1 LO-VOLT POWER SUPPLY

4 E HT POWER SUPPLY This unit provides voltages 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 or 14V AC or unsmoothed DC at 4A
continuously, or up to 5A for periods of 1 hour. Voltages are selected by means
of a rotating switch on the front panel. In any incidence of overload, including
direct short, a current sensing circuit breaker mounted on the front panel will
operate and disconnect the output voltage. Outputs are taken from colour
coded 4mm sockets mounted on the front panel. An illuminated on/off switch
is mounted on the rear panel adjacent to a fused appliance inlet. Housed in
a robust metal case with a durable powder coated finish. Supplied with mains
lead and instructions.

Weight: 2.8kg. Dimensions (L x W x H): 179 x 190 x 85mm.

2 V ARIVOLT POWER SUPPLY

A continuously variable 0-12V AC and full wave rectified DC at maximum 6A
continuously or 8A for short periods. Resettable thermal cut-out. Outputs from
two pairs of colour coded 4mm sockets. Output voltage is indicated by means
of a calibrated scale. An illuminated on/off switch is mounted on the rear panel
adjacent to a fused IEC mains inlet. Enclosed in a robust metal case with a
durable powder coated finish.

Housed in a robust metal case with a durable powder coated finish, this HT
power supply unit is designed for use with valves, Teltron demonstration valves,
ionisation chamber dosimeter, DC amplifier, parallel plate capacitor, Millikan
oil drop apparatus, etc. and any other apparatus requiring up to 300V DC
at low current. Three outputs are available - two smoothed DC outputs - 0 to
30V and 0 to 300V (at up to 60mA) - and one 6V 2A AC output (for filament
heating). The DC outputs are continuously variable and supplied from two pairs
of 4mm sockets colour-coded red/black. The AC output is available from a pair
of 4mm sockets colour-coded white. Each DC output has a separate control
with the DC voltage indicated on the graduated scale. The DC outputs are
available simultaneously and are fully floating i.e. neither output is internally
referenced to earth potential. The maximum current which can be drawn from
the DC outputs is limited electronically to 60mA. An illuminated on/off switch is
mounted on the rear panel adjacent to a fused appliance inlet. Electrical Supply
: 220-240V AC 50-60Hz.

Mass : 2.4kg. Dimensions (L x W x H): 179 x 190 x 85mm.

100V to 5kV DC up to a maximum of 3mA or current limited to 60µA. A centre
tapped socket is provided to give ±2.5kV output. An additional pair of 4mm
shrouded sockets at 19mm spacing are provided giving 6.3V AC at 2A for
filament supplies. There is also a separate earthing terminal. An illuminated
on/off switch is mounted on the rear panel adjacent to a fused IEC mains inlet.
Enclosed in a robust metal case with a durable powder coated finish. Supplied
with instructions and detachable mains lead.
