SteriMax
Electrical sterilization
The electrical sterilization system SteriMax, from WLD-TEC, Göttingen, Germany, is ideal for sterilizing inoculation loops, needles, and instruments, and for laboratories and safety cabinets where the use of gases and open flames is not permitted or is unavailable. Sterilizing the inoculation loop simply requires inserting it into the quartz tube. The sterilizing tube, made from wear-resistant quartz glass, reaches its optimal temperature of 900°C (1,650°F) after only a few minutes and sterilizes in about 5 to 7 seconds. The completely stainless steel design makes it resistant to even the most extreme laboratory conditions, and protects the working surface from contamination.

Quickly detects patients’ veins
Carolina Liquid Chemistries, Brea, Calif, introduces the Veintector, appropriate for physician’s offices and laboratories, designed to help solve the problem of searching for a seemingly “invisible” vein in a patient.
