Specimen Preparation Solution Promotes Higher Throughput
Universal Testing Machines Feature Dual Pressure and Digital Control
EXpressLO LLC has released the Aspirato lift out module for the EXpressLO ex situ lift out station. The Aspirato module enables faster processing of FIB specimens by improving lift out speed and specimen placement, allowing users to maximize the advantages of the EXpressLO grids and lift out method. ‘‘Researchers are always challenged to find ways to achieve higher throughput. Aspirato improves speed, specimen manipulation accuracy, and positioning reliability for lift out to our patented EXpressLO grids, which are uniquely designed to allow specimens to return to the FIB for further processing,’’ says Lucille Giannuzzi, president of EXpressLO. ‘‘More control over specimen positioning to our grids enables users to quickly place the area of interest in the optimal position for either FIB post processing or for S/TEM imaging. In addition, because Aspirato is a module, it can be implemented on all of our units, eliminating concerns over obsolescence of older systems.’’ These solutions benefit FIB users in industry and at universities, in both the life sciences and physical sciences. The solutions are easy to use, and provide a fast and a cost effective alternative to executing lift outs inside an expensive FIB instrument.

The SL series of hydraulic universal testing machines from Tinius Olsen feature a patented dual-pressure hydraulic loading system and four-column construction for high loadframe rigidity. With advanced digital control, load accuracy has been enhanced and should be better than 0.1% of the displayed reading within the operating range of 0.2–100% of the frame capacity. SL machines are controlled by a range of user interface options, including Bluetooth wireless, tethered interface, or a virtual interface running on a connected PC. Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software can be added to any system for accessing a library of standardized test routines, for generating complete graphical results of a test, and for performing sophisticated powerful analyses on the test data to produce test reports. A variety of standard capacities ensure accommodation of a range of testing needs. For rapid sequence production testing within the range of 150– 1000 kN (30,000–200,000 lbf), the company offers SL versions with open-front crossheads and/or fixed position crossheads. The SL series is also highly customizable for many other applications; the extensive range of grip designs ensures careful matching to application. Other options include hydraulically actuated lever grips, accordion-type, non-metallic screw covers, tooling for tension, compression, and other tests, a broad range of instrumentation, and furnaces.
