ASCO Light Weight Miniature Solenoid Valve Introduced with Extended Life and Higher Flow
FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY, USA, March 2, 2010 — ASCO Numatics, the world’s leading manufacturer of comprehensive fluid automation, flow control, and pneumatics solutions, has introduced the ASCO 411 Series miniature solenoid valve that offers up to twice the life of competing products plus higher flow rate performance. The new valve is ideal for applications in pharmaceutical, medical, analytical, and instrumentation products.
“Now, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) can receive the benefits of longer life, smaller size, lighter weight, higher flow, and lower power consumption — all in one miniature solenoid valve,” said Robert W. Kemple, Jr., Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing - Americas, ASCO Numatics. “The 411 Series dramatically reduces the design tradeoffs and compromises engineers must make in applying valves to their products.”
The 411 Series’ unique plunger design significantly reduces wear on the poppet and is resistant to internal elastomer swelling that can disrupt performance. The new valve has been tested to exceed 500 million cycles in normal operating conditions, making it the longest-lived, most reliable product of its kind on the market.
ASCO has increased the valve’s flow rate by 12% to 15% over previous models, and the maximum operating pressure differential has been improved. “These factors will enable engineers to design products with greater operating speeds, higher pressures, and smaller volumes,” said Kemple.
The new valve family incorporates a smaller, lighter weight plastic body that achieves a 12% to 15% overall weight reduction when compared to stainless steel and brass-bodied valves. This makes the 411 Series a good choice for miniaturized and portable medical devices and pharmaceutical products. Lower power consumption means the valve also is attractive for use in battery-powered applications. In addition, it is the only miniature solenoid valve that is fully compliant with RoHS regulations.
“The 411 Series is assembled and tested in a specially built Class 100 cleanroom that is dedicated to miniature solenoid valve production,” Kemple said. “Our valve’s exceptional reliability and its flexibility to address a wide range of specifications and operating characteristics provide the OEM with the widest variety of design options.”
The 411 Series can be purchased from ASCO distributors or directly from the company. Many of the valve’s configurations are available through the ASCO Today 24-hour or ASCO 5-day shipping programs.
For more information, contact ASCO at 800-972-ASCO, by e-mail at info-valve@asco.com, or visit www.ascovalve.com.

AGBT Workshop: “Enrichment of Resequencing Targets for Analysis of Rare Variants”
“Enrichment of Resequencing Targets for Analysis of Rare Variants”
Presented by RainDance Technologies
at the 11th Annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) Meeting
Despite notable success in the identification of common variants using genome-wide association studies, these approaches often lack the resolution to identify a large portion of the total variation believed to contribute to disease. With an increased interest in understanding the contribution of variants with a range of frequency and effect, high-resolution methods such as targeted resequencing provide the opportunity to assay both common and rare variants in large cohort studies. In order to confidently detect rare variants, it is critical to obtain as complete coverage as possible for regions of interest.
RainDance Technologies has commercialized a platform to enable the most complete coverage of resequencing targets by leveraging the benefits of single-molecule PCR in a format that easily integrates into next-generation sequencing workflows. To explain the benefits of this approach, RainDance will hold an AGBT workshop, entitled “Enrichment of Resequencing Targets for Analysis of Rare Variants.”
The Sequence Enrichment application utilizes our RainStorm™ technology to manipulate picoliter volume droplets to generate more than two million independent PCR reactions per sample in a simple and robust process. The workshop will describe the use of this novel method for enrichment of resequencing targets with high efficiency resulting in the highest-quality data for analysis of rare variants in both coding and non-coding regions of the genome. In addition, the workshop will feature a preview of new applications from RainDance that include targeted methylation analysis and ultra-deep resequencing of heterogeneous samples.
Enrichment of Resequencing Targets for Analysis of Rare Variants
February 26, 2010
2:00 to 3:00 p.m. EST
Marco Island Marriott Resort, in the Islands Ballroom
Speakers:
- Scott Kennedy, Chief Scientific Officer

Anoxomat Anaerobic System Offers Clinical Laboratories “Green” Advantages Over Gas-Bag Methods That Generate Hazardous Waste
Advanced Instruments announced that its AnoxomatTM Anaerobic System for the laboratory cultivation of bacteria provides important “green” advantages over gas-bag methods that generate large quantities of hazardous waste.
“The Anoxomat system is an ideal solution for clinical laboratories desiring ‘green’ alternatives that eliminate hazardous waste generation, handling, and cost,” said Anthony Pappas, North American Sales Manager, Advanced Instruments.
In less than 3 minutes, the Anoxomat creates anaerobic and microaerophilic environments in reusable jars with no hazardous gases or materials. By contrast, gas bags require that each consumable plastic bag be disposed of after a single use, and then processed as hazardous waste at considerable trouble and expense.
“We estimate that a lab employing gas bags can generate up to several hundred pounds of hazardous waste per year as it grows bacterial cultures,” said Pappas. “With the Anoxomat, there is no hazardous material produced and the jars can be reused for years and then recycled.”
In addition, there are significant savings in reduced gas costs. “The Anoxomat was an easier operation … on gases alone. In the first year of operation, it probably saved us around $8,000 over gas bags,” said Frank Hollis of Hackensack Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey.
The Anoxomat system is highly efficient and cost-effective at cultivating pathogens and attaining growth performance that equals or exceeds that of gas bags. In addition, a built-in quality assurance system tests for leaks before incubation. The system checks whether the catalyst is capable of achieving the desired conditions and warns if there is a threat of failure.
To learn more about Anoxomat’s green advantages, visit the Advanced Instruments Web site at www.aicompanies.com or call +1 800.225.1620 or +1 781.320.9000.
