Dionex Application Note 266: Determination of Sialic Acids
07 January, 2011 | Dionex Pty Ltd
Dionex has released a method for simple determination of sialic acids that are present in infant formula in the pmol range. Application Note 266: Determination of Sialic Acids Using UHPLC with Fluorescence Detection demonstrates that N-acetylated sialic acids can be determined and O-acetylated sialic acids can be identified in infant formula samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection following acid hydrolysis and 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene dihydrochloride (DMB) derivatisation. By using a water:acetonitrile gradient, high resolution of the sialic acids can be obtained in a 20 min analysis time, compared to the common 40 min isocratic method. The described assay uses a short-format Acclaim RSLC 120 C18 column that allows fast run times. The lower flow rate and shorter run time requires less acetonitrile than other published methods. The sensitivity of the Dionex FLD-3400RS fluorescence detector easily allows determination of sialic acids in the infant formula that are present in the pmol range. The sensitivity provides for simple determination of Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and O-acetylated sialic acids in the derivatised samples.

Tetra Lactenso Aseptic solutions
07 January, 2011 | Tetra Pak
Tetra Lactenso Aseptic solutions based on Tetra Therm Aseptic Flex are setting new performance standards for UHT milk production solutions. And they are also claimed to reduce product losses by 40% compared to current industry standards. This equates to less than 90 L product losses per production cycle for a 13,000 L/h system, compared to more than 150 L of lost product for the competitor’s current offers. And lower losses mean clear profit, as well as lower environmental impact.
Vibrating conveyors from Vibration Systems & Solutions
07 January, 2011 | Vibration Systems & Solutions (Australia) Pty Ltd
Vibrating conveyors from Vibration Systems & Solutions have no moving parts, other than the simple drive by pneumatic vibrator. This linear vibrator is the only moving part in the system and is designed with an air cushion at each end of the stroke, eliminating no metal-to-metal impact and with virtually no noise. This design overcomes the limitations of crank drive systems which have a sudden stop and start at each end of the stroke, causing stress on the mechanism and the bearings of the motor.

Improve potato strip quality and yield
06 January, 2011 | Key Technology Australia Pty Ltd
Turkish processor Konya Seker decided to try something different on its potato strip production line. Unlike other potato processors that use optical sorters to remove defects on their primary lines, Konya Seker relies on an ADR5 automatic defect removal system from Key Technology. This application, called the ADRFirst solution, maximises product quality and increases yields at Konya Seker.
