The operating principle of the Old Mill Seed Counter, that is, feeding seeds one at a time to a high sensitivity detector, has been extended to the seeding of plug flats and other greenhouse flats.
The seeder automatically drops one or more seeds into each cavity of the flat at a rate up to 20,000 seeds per hour.
PerkinElmer is the leader in high sensitivity thermal analysis instrumentation, providing you with the confidence to achieve fast, accurate, reproducible results. The Pyris™ 1 thermal gravim analysis (TGA) incorporates PerkinElmer’s 40 years of continuous innovation and experience into its intelligent design.

The Mettler Toledo XPE603SN has a capacity of 610 grams with a readability of 1 milligram and comes with the innovative SmartPan™ with no draftshield. The Mettler Toledo XPE-S (small platform) precision balances incorporate the latest advances in weighing technology. The XPE-S incorporates the XPE detachable display with the innovative StatusLight™ color bar to indicate balance status. Also, all XPE-S balances incorporate a large color touch screen which makes viewing results and menu navigation a breeze.
TA Instruments’ Q800 DMA, based on a combined motor and transducer design, uses advanced, non-contact, linear motors to control stress and measure strain with a highly sensitive optical encoder. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a technique used to measure the mechanical properties of a wide range of materials. DMA works primarily in the viscoelastic range of a material and is therefore more sensitive to structure than a typical tensile test. With its unique design, the Q800 is also ideal for high-stiffness applications including composites.
A highly sophisticated gas sorption analyzer available with up to three physisorption analysis ports for surface area analysis and pore size measurements, two of which can be equipped for low pressure micropore analysis including optional 0.1 torr transducer(s).
A rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the way in which a liquid, suspension or slurry flows in response to applied forces. It is used for those fluids which cannot be defined by a single value of viscosity and therefore require more parameters to be set and measured than is the case for a viscometer. It measures the rheology of the fluid.
Transferring all the fresh property qualities of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) from the lab to the field is now much easier. The ICAR rheometer is a fully portable test device. The unit is about the size of a drill and can be operated by hand or positioned above a standard container. It is accurate in measuring a flow curve or performing a stress growth test for almost the full range of concrete workability, ranging from a 2-inch slump to SCC.
The TI Q2000 is a research-grade DSC with superior performance in baseline flatness, precision, sensitivity, and resolution. Advanced Tzero® technology and multiple exclusive hardware and software features make the Q2000 powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use. Modulated DSC® and a reliable 50-position autosampler are available as options. An additional high-value feature is Platinum™ software, which permits automatic scheduling of tests designed to keep the Q2000 consistently in top operating condition.
