Corrosion-resistant valves

A new color catalog from Hayward describes its line of Cepex by Hayward corrosion-resistant, all-plastic valves. They were developed for cost-sensitive applications requiring a full-featured valve. The catalog includes four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Full-color photographs illustrate each group of ball, check and butterfly valves. An exploded photograph of each valve type clearly shows individual components and assembly into a complete unit. Hayward Flow Control, Clemmons, NC, 888-429-4635, www.haywardflowcontrol.com

Post-column lab unit

On exhibit at Pittcon 2006, Pickering’s Vector PCX™ is a rugged, low-cost post-column derivatization system ideal for high-throughput analysis of target compounds. It inherits the selectivity, sensitivity and chromatographic reproducibility of the PCX5200 instrument (discontinued in January) and is compatible with all major HPLC systems. It’s targeted for basic testing in demanding, 24/7 laboratory environments requiring low capital outlay, analytic accuracy and long life for post-column instrumentation, components and reagents.
