Assorted products featured this week include a chemist's calculator, a brain infusion kit, an all-in-one stirrer and balance, and gel chambers with built-in buffer recirculation.

Rare-cutting restriction enzymes, a novel method for cloning and packaging DNA fragments and sequence processor software for the Macintosh—new products for the new year.

With a host of products that are new on the market, this week's selection includes a '386' laptop computer, a multifunction calculator, a DNA phosphatase that can be heat-killed, and a 'dry' benchtop sterilizer.

A gel elutor for extracting nucleic acids or protein, a cryopreservation system for freezing/thawing mouse embryos and a neurotoxicological evaluation service based on the leech brain are just a few of the products outlined below.

This summer season provides a selection of new products: a rabbit model for AIDS, a monoclonal antibody specific for the retinoblastoma gene product, and a reagent for keeping cell lines mycoplasma-free.

The spring of the year brings a flurry of product introductions: this season's best includes a phenol-free DNA extraction kit, an LC/MS that can handle haemoglobin, and a benchtop robot that does the drudge jobs without complaint.

Start the year off with a new addition to the laboratory — this week's selection includes an infrared hotplate, a software model for teratogenicity studies, and a balance that calculates molarity.

Some of the hottest science products introduced this summer are outlined this week, including a chromatophoresis instrument, an alternative to fetal bovine serum, and assays for plant hormones.

March is a good month for new product news: many companies launch new products in the late winter and early spring. Below are some of the best and most innovative.

This week's issue looks at new laboratory products to make research safer, faster and easier, including a robotic arm, a see-through incubator and a pocket photometer.
