LABQUIP/BUEHLER are planning a series of workshops in Ireland to demonstrate the technique of preparing a thin section on Bio-materials.

Arterial Stents:
Ian Chaplain of Buehler Ltd, in collaboration with Dr. Nadine Malik and Lynda Shepherd of Northern General Hospital, Sheffield UK have developed the equipment to prepare thin sections of arterial stents.

Bone with Implant Material:
Ian Chaplain has worked with Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt, Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, Shropshire in preparing thin sections of bone with implant material.

The Royal National Orthopaedic Trust, University College London, Stanmore also prepare thin sections using Buehler equipment.

If you or a colleague are interested in attending such a workshop, please contact:

Please contact us also if you would be interested in hosting such an event at your facility.

2. Workshop in Materialography, Labquip/Buehler

For registration and additional information, please contact James McNamara at our Dublin Office, +353 (0) 1 643 4586 or email labquip@labquip.ie

3. Materials Preparation for Microstructural Analysis Workshop (2 Days)

This two-day workshop is constructed to address all aspects of specimen preparation for microstructural analysis. The idea is to develop a technical understanding of what happens when specimens are encapsulated, ground, lapped, polished, etched and then observed optically. In order to satisfy the elements of the competence tasks, the delegates will prepare their own specific materials.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Anyone and everyone who in their working day looks at microstructures of materials including metals, biomaterials, minerals, ceramics, bone, teeth, wood, glass, paint, composites, cermets, PCB's, component assemblies and many more. The elements of competence tasks are based on each delegate's own material, and therefore, needs will vary. This ensures we have something for the expert, the newcomer or those who just wish to extend their knowledge.

4. Residual Solvents in Pharmaceuticals

Single Method Optimization for Organic Volatile Impurities (OVI) in the Pharmaceutical Industry.

With the increasing numbers of solvents in use for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, the sample and test requirements have grown significantly. Different analytical methods have historically been used for each class of solvents, raising the costs for reagents and labour, and slowing down the speed of analysis.

Coupling the Teledyne Tekmar Model 7050 static headspace, local and manufacturer-based support, and the use of a unique solvent, Dimethylimidazolidinone (DMI), it is possible to optimize OVI analysis with a single method, reducing labour and reagent costs, and increasing total analytical throughput substantially.

Polymer Laboratories manufactures packed columns and loose media for high performance preparative and process purification in the pharmaceutical industries.
PL's high performance particles are manufactured by controlled polymerization of styrene/divinylbenzene.

The company's proprietary production processes give complete control over pore and particle size and surface chemistry, ensuring reproducibility from lot to lot. The optimized pore structure provides the chromatographic characteristics required for the purification of a wide range of biomolecules, from small peptides and oligonucleotides through to large proteins and DNA fragments.
