They are tough, resistant to corrosion, light weight, and good electrical insulators. Nylon components conform to irregular surfaces, provide vibration dampening, and offer an inexpensive alternative to more expensive metal parts. Molded threads approximate UNC/UNF 2A and 2B. Metric approximate 6g/6H. Tolerances are held to Industrial Fasteners Institute Standards for inch and metric screws. However, it is often more sensible to try samples or small order quantities before changing from one product to another. Plastic molding has varying degrees of quality. It often involves small amounts of flash, knockout pin marks, gates, sinks, and other slight imperfections. Screws and bolts are gated on the threaded end. It is possible for the gate to leave an extra projection of up to .025". Nylon screws have been available for many years commercially. They are either machined on a screw machine or injection molded. The machined parts are made from extruded nylon rod stock and can be held to relatively close tolerances during the machining process. Nylon, however, has the unfortunate property of absorbing moisture from its environment which causes significant changes in its dimensions. So even though parts may have been accurately machined, a moist atmosphere can cause fit problems. Conversely, parts that have been moisture conditioned "lose" moisture causing dimensional problems. If the overall length of a screw grows, it obviously affects the threads per inch thus causing a tight fit. Changes in the moisture content can also have an affect on the outside diameter, pitch diameter, and the root diameter. Injection molded nylon screws also suffer from moisture problems, but in addition, have inherent tooling problems. All molded nylon screws come from mold cavities parted along the length of the screw. These cavities have two halves that must be matched exactly to produce a perfect part. The cavity halves are doweled together with leader pins when the mold closes to provide the match required. Other locking devices are also employed to hold the halves of the mold in alignment. In the course of molding production quantities, these leader pins and locks suffer some wear. The mold base holding the cavities wears. The molding machine wears causing slight press platen misalignment. Small amounts of dirt on the mold can cause slight mismatch. From the time the tooling begins to run in production, the entire process begins to work against perfect alignment. Mold temperature changes from room temperature to production temperature causes the mismatch condition to worsen. At some point in time, the various factors affecting mismatch reach a condition that causes the molded screw to be unsatisfactory to the user. Then it is necessary to rework the mold to bring it up to its original condition. Since nylon is somewhat flexible, generally molded nylon screws are not held to as quite close tolerances as metal screws. A slight mismatch and minor flash at the parting line is not as serious as it would be in a metal part. End users who submit nylon screws to go-no-go gauges without trying the fastener in its actual functional application are generally causing unnecessary difficulties for themselves and their supplier. The fact is that because of the many areas of potential process variables, nylon screws made by injection molding are simply not measurable by the same methods as metal screws. They just are not capable of being manufactured to as close tolerances as metal screws. The development of the tooling for nylon screws, plus the molding conditions, is a carefully kept secret. Tooling such as this is an evolutionary process. The quality of parts being manufactured with todays tooling is obviously superior to those made in the beginning. Slight improvements have gradually been made over the years. Since we have production for nearly 3,000 sizes, if we make tooling improvements it is not practical to go back and remake 3,000 molds each time we make an improvement. We do, however, rework and replace as we go along any unsatisfactory tooling. This is a continual process with new sizes being added constantly and at the same time remaking tooling whenever the circumstances require it. Occasionally, a few unacceptable parts may escape our quality control procedures. If you receive unsuitable parts, let us know immediately. We will do whatever we can to correct them. All nylon screws are molded in an natural color resin. If you require black color, or some other identifying color (not a color match) these parts are made by dyeing the nylon screw with "RIT" dye in a water solution held at about 200 degrees F. which adds color but also moisture to the nylon. As stated previously, nylon screws change considerably with the loss or gain of moisture. Nylon screws, as they come from the molding machine contain about .5% moisture. After dyeing in a "RIT" dye, the moisture content increases to about 3-4%. Low moisture nylon is more rigid than moisture conditioned material. Impact strength and toughness increases with moisture addition. Flexibility also increases with higher moisture content which causes difficulties for the user on occasion. If you need a solid molded color, a closer than normal tolerance, or a special grade of nylon or other plastic material, we can furnish whatever variation or specialty using special molds and set-up. This, of course, adds considerably to the cost. We are here to serve you, so tell us what you need.

Prior to the formation of MicroCal, commercial calorimeters were extremely difficult to use, had long experimental times and required large amounts of sample due to poor sensitivity. As a result, the use of microcalorimetry was limited almost exclusively to specialists who devoted themselves primarily to calorimetry. Technology and product improvements are important cornerstones of our philosophy at MicroCal. Our innovations have led to numerous advances in both microcalorimetry systems and software for the collection, analysis and presentation of calorimetric data. As a result, microcalorimetry is now among the fastest growing areas of life sciences research and MicroCal instruments are recognized across the world as the industry standard and can be found in major pharmaceutical, biotech, academic and government institutions worldwide.MicroCals first product was the MC-1 scanning calorimeter. This instrument quickly became the leading commercially available ultrasensitive Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). In the late 1990’s, MicroCal launched the VP-DSC, the best selling ultrasensitive DSC system in the world. This was followed in 2003 with the introduction of the VP-Capillary DSC Platform, designed for high-throughput stability screening. The scientists and engineers at MicroCal pioneered the development of a commercial Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) capable of measuring biological interactions. In 1989, MicroCal introduced the OMEGA, the first ITC system which was sensitive enough to measure heats of binding for biological interactions. Substantial improvements were made with the development of the MCS-ITC and further improvements in sensitivity and ease of use have been included in the VP-ITC and the Auto-ITC systems. In 2007, we introduced the iTC200, representing yet another leap in technology and instrument performance. In 2008 we will introduce the Auto-iTC200, a fully automated version of the iTC200.Over the past 30 years, MicroCal has been privileged to participate in the development and advancement of an important technology that has found broad application in the basic research of biomolecules and the discovery and development of many new therapeutics and biotherapeutics. We look forward to continuing our participation and leadership in this important area of biological science and to developing important new innovations that will continue to expand the future capabilities of our technology and products. Conceiving those innovations, developing the core technology and turning those developments into advanced new products is our job, and more importantly, it is our commitment to our customers.Our customers have rewarded us by adopting our technology, developing applications for it and actively helping us to improve it. For that, we are profoundly grateful. Many of our customers have now used three generations of our products and have experienced the advancement of the technology over the years while others have only recently discovered the capabilities microcalorimety can provide to their research. There are now over 7,900 peer reviewed publications that include data collected on MicroCal products. We are delighted to have so many members of the extended MicroCal family. We are often asked if we are working on the next generation of ITC and DSC products the answer to that question is always, definitely yes. We are always working to improve the sensitivity, reliability, and ease-of-use of our products. We have many exciting developments underway that we hope will expand and extend the usefulness of our technology for the determination and characterization of biomolecular interactions and the assessment of stability. Our best source of ideas for new technology innovation and products comes from understanding our customers’ problems. Solving the problems that are important to you is our best means to ensure our own future prosperity. So when you hear us asking you about “the problems in your lab that you would like help with,” please don’t be bashful about telling us how we can help you.
