The system is based on enzyme immuno- assay technology. Tosoh Medics 401 TLC. ScanDuet TLC radioimaging and analysis system, which consists of two automated scanners directed by a single multitasking computer, loads and reads up to eight 20 X 20 cm plates without operator intervention. Fifty dpm of 3 H or I4 C can be measured in 10 min. Bioscan 404 Spectrophotometer. Model U-4001 UV-vis-near-IR double-monochroma- tor, double-beam recording spectro- photometer, designed primarily for use with solid samples, features a large sample compartment that allows the analysis of semiconductor wafers, spe- cial optics, glass films, and coatings. Hitachi 405 IR. RS-1250 is a modular near-IR re- cording spectrophotometer with a wavelength range of 750-1700 nm and a resolution of 1.5 nm. The optical module incorporates a scanning digital monochromator, germanium detector, 20 W source, and a sample compart- ment with 90° and 180° detector ports. Optometries 406 Viscometer. VT501 features a built-in microprocessor for monitoring and dis- play of viscosity, shear rate, tempera- ture, torque, and speed. Applications include the testing of oils, polymer so- lutions, slurries, paints, inks, lotions, creams, and foods. Haake, Fisons In- struments 407 EPR/ESR. Model 8300 EPR/ESR spectrometer features a Hall-effect probe that provides field regulation of ±4 ppm over the 250-6000 G magnetic field range.
