In this past month, we have had the pleasure of welcoming Zac Bhumgara, a Computer Science student from York University to our team. Zac has seamlessly integrated into the AST team working closely with Jonathan Siddle, Software Lead of Emerging Technology, on AST’s lab of the future product ‘Deft’ and observing the progress and development of other surrounding projects.
Read MoreThe mobile temperature probe was initially developed as a production application for a client within the food and beverage industry for on-site testing at point-of-need (mobile) for monitoring temperature sensitive steps and ingredient additions during the production of foodstuffs. The wireless temperature probe digitally records the temperature of the experiment/process and automatically uploads this data into LIMS without the need for any cables directly to Applied Scientific’s Deft box.
Read MoreThe Digital Enabled Formulation Toolset (Deft) is a scalable, laboratory digital network that connects and integrates to existing bench-top instruments in chemical formulation and R&D labs.
Read MoreThe AST team are proud to have won a prestigious international RedDot award for 'Innovative Design 2022' for our lab of the future product Deft!
Red Dot is an international design competition for product design, communication design and design concepts. Deft will now tour around the world at multiple Red Dot Design Award exhibitions until May 2023!
Automated capping and de-capping of containers is a critical process for many lab environments to ensure sample integrity. The team at Applied Scientific Technologies (AST) have recently developed a capping and de-capping solution that can automate an entire process, eliminating mistakes and a manual process that can be time consuming, tedious and capable of causing repetitive motion injuries.
Read MoreAnother milestone in the Deft ,Lab-of-the-Future series from AST and the integration of another Anton-Paar analytical instrument for formulation groups in the chemical and material sciences industry.
Read MoreThermal stability is vital for the safe manufacture, storage and transportation of products to ensure physical integrity for chemical formulation, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.
Read MoreWorking with partners GPE Scientific and major instrument manufacturer Julabo, the new Deft Reactor system brings device integration, digital control and reporting features of Deft to lab reactors.
Read MoreBoocax Disinfectant Robots offer 360-degree coverage and a 99.99% sterilising rate killing a broad range of bacteria and viruses such as coronaviruses, flu, hand foot and mouth disease and other such diseases. Boocax Robots use common air disinfectants such as chlorine dioxide and hypochlorous acid.
Read MoreIn some instances, direct data acquisition from common lab equipment is not possible, such as this thermomixer widely used in R&D in many consumer food and beverage formulation labs. To solve this issue, AST have set up a raspberry pi and camera module along with a bespoke lab-friendly mounting system to record the device display without hindering usability.
Read MoreSpecialising in Laboratory 4.0, Digital Twins, Collaborative and Autonomous Robots, System Integration, Internet of Things (IoT), SILA and Artificial Intelligence. AST use all the emerging technologies of the digital world available and apply them to the unique challenges faced by laboratory businesses to improve transparency and productivity.
Read MoreAST are the global specialists for SiLA 2 integration and development and the latest addition to our growing library of laboratory instruments includes a custom SiLA driver for the Julabo Presto A30. The Julabo Presto is a temperature control system with a working temperature range of -30 to 250 DegC.
Read MoreAST are the global specialists for SiLA 2 integration and development and the latest addition to our growing library of laboratory instruments includes a custom SiLA driver for the IKA RCT Digital Hotplate. The IKA RCT is a Hotplate / Magnetic Stirrer unit with a heating element of up to 310 Degrees Celsius and a magnetic stirrer of 50 to 1500 RPM. The IKA Hotplate has a handheld temperature probe for taking point readings for feedback during heating. The probe fits to the rear of the unit and reports the temperature continuously.
Read MoreApplied Integration UK LTD is excited to introduce our new demo room located in Stokesley, North Yorkshire. The demo room is a space within our organisation where we can demonstrate exciting technologies to our customers which enable improved productivity, safety and efficiency.
Read MoreThe Radwag XA82 analytical balance is designed for accurately measuring small amounts of weighed material. It features standard control via front touch screen, encompassing a wide range of settings and controls.
Read MoreThe purpose of stability testing of cosmetic products is to ensure that a new or modified product meets the intended physical, chemical and microbiological quality standards as well as functionality and aesthetics when stored under appropriate conditions. Testing is required for regulatory purposes and should be performed in order to assure stability and physical integrity of cosmetic products under appropriate conditions of storage, transport and usage, chemical and microbiological stability as well as compatibility of the contents and the container.
Read MoreApplied Scientific Technologies software team have been working on enhancing modular software designs to allow ‘on the fly’ platform reconfiguration with the latest Techman Robot Arm. The new Techman Arm complies with the latest safety regulations for human collaboration and enhanced functionality from AST software configuration ensuring a flexible and powerful scheduling engine.
Read MoreA common SiLA 2 Feature (pH provider) was defined to represent a pH measuring device. Within the Deft Gateway, a S220 control interface of this feature was created. A parser was added to handle messages returned from the pH meter which can account for the varying printout configurations and extract the value and units accordingly and then update the fields (value, units). A pH provider control was then added to the Tablet App which displays the current pH and units received from the Gateway.
Read MoreApplied Scientific Technologies (AST) are the global specialists for SiLA driver development and have linked many standard lab bench equipment to Deft using the SiLA 2 communications protocol. Our latest addition to our growing library is the OHaus Pioneer PX. This is a widely used precision balance which offers communication via RS232 / USB. The OHaus provides a range of transmittable commands and defined responses for remote operation.
Read MorePick up the news today, and we are surrounded by new technological innovations for everything from measuring our heart beat in real-time from a watch while we ‘Work, Rest and Play’, what’s in our fridge and that it can tells us when food is out-of-date or can instantly automate the purchase of new products via the Internet of Things (IoT) and up to and including Industry 4.0 and the next industrial revolution.
