QUOTE OF THE MONTH:
"Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world"
Louis Pasteur (27 December 1822 - 28 September 1895)
French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. Pasteur's contributions to science, technology, and medicine are nearly without precedent. He pioneered the study of molecular asymmetry; discovered that microorganisms cause fermentation and disease; originated the process of pasteurization; saved the beer, wine, and silk industries in France; and developed vaccines against anthrax and rabies.

Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd introduces Whirl-Pak Sampling bags
Invented in 1959 and manufactured in the USA at a facility certified to ISO 9001, Whirl-Pak® bags were the first sterile laboratory sampling bag on the market and continue to be the world leader in sample collection. Whirl-Pak® bags can be used for the sampling of liquids, solids, and semi-solids across many different markets including food & beverage, dairy, water treatment, environmental, veterinary, microbiology and more!
Whirl-Pak® bags are made from a co-extrusion of low-density and linear low-density virgin polyethylene which provides the bags with exceptional clarity and strength. The bags feature patented puncture-proof tabs which eliminate sharp wire ends from puncturing the bag or gloves.
The bags also go through a separate sterilization process after manufacturing using ethylene oxide gas at an independent ISO-certified facility.
Compared to bulky, expensive and non-sterile containers, a box of Whirl-Pak® bags take up less storage space, cost less to ship, are easier to label, have an integrated closure system, are unbreakable, and are guaranteed sterile - negating the need to spend time and money washing and sterilizing!
To find out more or request samples, contact your local Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd Office.

Queensland
Dear Clients,
Business has been brisk in the past few months and we thank you for your continued support. We are rapidly moving towards the end of the year, so now is a good time to review your stock levels especially for imported products.
If there are any products which are critical to your daily operation, please let us know so that we can ensure we will have enough stock on hand for the December/January period, as imports in particular slow down over this time, as many overseas manufacturers and suppliers close for their annual break.
In October we attended the ComBio Symposium for Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. Our stand, manned by Martin Bullock, was visited by many University staff and students, giving us plenty of opportunity to demonstrate our range of products.
Reminder: Are you doing Nitrogen/Protein Analysis? We have an excellent Velp NDA Analyser using the Dumas method in stock. Please contact our team to arrange a demonstration.
Queensland team: Yvonne Dive, Martin Bullock, Brian Bishop, Sean Wyatt, Josephine Cabagui, Leon Dive, John DeRuyter, Steve Taylor, Adam Bergman and Colin Silk.

South Australia & Northern Territory
Greetings from the South Australian Team,
Let's hope the last of the wet, windy and wild weather is behind us. Some areas have experienced their wettest winter in 50 years with many areas experiencing flooding.
I spent some time touring the Griffith wineries with my Sydney colleague Kendall Parsons. Thank you to all of you who may read this for your hospitality and your time. It was also most certainly very wet over there but thankfully we completed our tour just before too many roads were closed.
We have had a new member join our SA team. Daniel Girardi joined us four weeks ago and is progressing nicely. Daniel Spano and I will be bringing him along to meet clients over the coming months.
Our new Vintage Catalogue is in production at the moment and will be distributed soon. I am also pleased to announce we are now an official distributor of Vintessential Science Enzyme Kits for the winery industry.
All the best from, Doug, Steve, Mark, Michael, Daniel S, Paula, Goldy and Daniel G.
