What Laboratory Products and Consumables Are Available at New Star Environmental?
Updated
New Star Environmental sells laboratory products and consumables for environmental monitoring and analysis, with a focus on air sampling and particle measurement. From the product listings shown on its site, the catalog includes sample storage and transport containers, vacuum pumps and air supply systems, and flow calibrators. The company describes its labware as offering "high-level precision and accuracy" and positions itself as a provider of environmental monitoring instrumentation, particle counters, lab equipment, and air sampling supplies. If you need consumables for ambient or emission air quality fieldwork and lab analysis, this is the relevant part of its catalog; if you need gas leak detection or particle counters, those sit in separate product areas.
What kinds of laboratory products does the catalog cover?
Based on the featured products and category headings on the site, the laboratory side of the business centers on three practical needs in air sampling work: holding samples, moving air, and verifying flow.
Sample storage and transport
The Air Sampling Filter Storage & Shipping Dish (PetriSlides) is listed as a filter storage and transport container. The site describes it as suited to ambient and emission air quality field and laboratory research and analysis, and notes it is made from cl[ear material — the excerpt cuts off there]. This is the consumable-type item in the featured list: something you buy repeatedly to protect and carry filters between the field and the lab.
Air movement and supply
Two Rocker products appear in the featured listings:
- Rocker 300 Vacuum Pump, 23 lpm, AC100–120V, 50/60Hz. Listed features include a 2-year warranty and a piston-driven, lubricant-free design described as maintenance free and free of air pollution.
- Rocker 440 Oil Free Air Supply System, AC220V, 50Hz with EU plug. Listed features begin with "No pollution."
The voltage and plug differences matter: the 300 is specified for 100–120V markets, while the 440 is specified for 220V with an EU plug. Check your lab's power supply before ordering either.
Flow verification and calibration
The mini-BUCK Calibrator M-5 is described as a primary flow calibrator and "the industry standard for day-to-day flow verification and calibration of your personal and environmental" sampling equipment. If your work depends on documented sample volumes, this is the item in the featured set aimed at that task.

Which item fits which task?
- Collecting and transporting air sampling filters: the PetriSlides filter storage and shipping dish is the direct match, since the site ties it to ambient and emission air quality field and lab work.
- Pulling air through samplers or filter holders: the Rocker 300 vacuum pump is the featured option, with the caveat that it is specified for 100–120V power.
- Needing a clean, oil-free air supply on 220V power: the Rocker 440 is the listed alternative, supplied with an EU plug.
- Checking that your samplers draw the flow you think they do: the mini-BUCK M-5 is the featured calibrator for flow verification.
If your work is gas leak detection rather than lab sampling, the site separately features the Gascheck G Handheld Leak Detector for "rapid accurate gas leak measurement" — a different product line from the lab consumables above.
How do you browse and buy?
The site presents products in a catalog format with featured items, "View full details" links, and "Add to cart" or "Choose options" buttons, plus a "Quick shop" function. The practical path is:
- Open the laboratory products section (the site links "Explore Our Laboratory Products" and "Shop Lab Products").
- Open a product's full details page to confirm specifications — especially voltage, plug type, and capacity for the pumps.
- Add the item to your cart, or use "Choose options" where a product has variants.
- For questions before ordering, the site lists a phone number, (770) 998-0296, and a "Get in Touch" contact option.
The site does not state shipping terms, return policy, or whether an account is required to order, so confirm those directly if they affect your purchase.
What should you verify before ordering?
- Power compatibility: the Rocker 300 is listed at AC100–120V and the Rocker 440 at AC220V/50Hz with an EU plug. Mismatches here are the most likely source of a return.
- Consumable vs. equipment: the PetriSlides dish is a recurring consumable; the pumps and calibrator are equipment purchases. Budget accordingly.
- Price changes: the listings show original and current prices, so treat displayed prices as indicative until checkout.
- Application fit: the site's stated focus is aerosol particle measurement and environmental monitoring. If your lab work falls outside air sampling and particle measurement, ask the company directly whether a product suits your method.
