Excimer laser ablation system
20 February, 2003 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
The New Wave Research/Merchantek laser ablation systems feature numerous innovations including flat beam ablation, 213 nm UV ablation and Merchantek laser ablation software. The UP193HE, high energy, excimer-based laser ablation system is the second generation of excimer-based laser which is specifically designed for solid sampling introduction to ICP, ICP-MS, noble gas MS and stable isotope MS instruments of all makes and models. Its high energy density (>35 J/cm2) at the sample, homogenised beam and short 193 nm wavelength make it suitable for opaque and highly transmissive materials alike.
Maldi-mass spectrometry matrices
20 February, 2003 | Merck
Maldi (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation), a laser-based soft ionisation method, is one of the most successful ionisation methods for mass spectrometric analysis and investigation of large molecules. In addition, analysis of post source decay (decay of proteins following the ionisation) in many cases allows rapid sequencing of proteins. Thus Maldi has gained a crucial importance for protein analysis.
ICP-MS
20 February, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian's ICP-MS offers ease of use and high sensitivity with its 90° ion optics. The ion mirror reflects analyte ions through 90°, while neutrals and photons pass through. This produces a very high signal to background ratio for low-level detection limits and features tunable gigahertz sensitivity (one thousand million counts per second for every ppm).
Advanced Charting Module
22 January, 2003 | LabWare Australia Pty Ltd
LabWare, an international software products company focused exclusively on configurable Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), has announced the availability of an advanced charting module for its LabWare LIMS software through a joint development effort with Northwest Analytical (NWA).
Evaporative light scattering detector
18 January, 2003 | Grace Discovery Sciences
Alltech ELSD 800 is an evaporative light scattering detector that can add universal HPLC detection to any LC system to replace or complement existing detectors. The ELSD's universal response gives a closer representation of sample mass than UV detectors, making quantification more accurate when standards are not available. It can be used in parallel with MS to obtain maximum structural and concentration information for each sample. Unlike RI detectors, the ELSD offers high sensitivity, equilibrates quickly and is gradient compatible.
Gravimetric sorption analysers
17 January, 2003 | Particle & Surface Sciences Pty Ltd
The VTI range of gravimetric sorption analysers includes analysers for the sorption studies of gases and vapour using an integrated microbalance.
Hydrogen gas leak detector
17 January, 2003 | Phenomenex Australia
The GX-Hawk-100 is a portable hydrogen gas leak detector specifically designed for gas chromatographers. Based on solid state sensor technology, the unit will quickly and easily aid in pinpointing the source of leaks at capillary column connections, gas lines and cylinders. Just point andread.
Polymer quality control
17 January, 2003 | Rheology Solutions Pty Ltd
The On-Line Laboratory Alfa from Optical Control Systems (OCS) incorporates a film-test-system which allows the measurements and recording of in-homogeneities and black specks as well as other physical, chemical and rheological parameters important in the production polymers.
Ambient air assay
17 January, 2003 | Envirorent Pty Ltd
Thermo Environmental Instruments has a product brochure for the Miran SapphIRe Portable Infrared Ambient Air Analyser, including specifications and application descriptions. The brochure highlights the uses of the analyser including emergency response analysis, industrial hygiene surveys, indoor air quality studies, and leak detection.
Rotary evaporators
17 January, 2003 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The Stuart equipment portfolio from Bibby Sterilin includes the RE300 rotary evaporators. This range of evaporators, coupled with a water bath, combines ease of use, reliability and performance with value for money. They are available with a wide range of accessories and come in three different models: RE300 with the traditional diagonal coil condenser, RE301 with a space saving vertical coil condenser and RE302 with a highly efficient cold finger condenser, designed for use with ice/water or dry/ice.
Scentograph Plus II portable gas chromatograph
17 January, 2003 | Gas Analysis Systems Australia Pty Ltd
The Scentograph Plus II portable gas chromatograph features dual detectors, dual sequential column, internal carrier gas and calibration tanks and capillary injection port. Accessories including the dual sampling purge and trap or stack gas sampler allow the instrument to produce laboratory quality results at on-site locations.
Digital scales
17 January, 2003 | A&D Australasia Pty Ltd
The SK-WP series dust and waterproof digital scales are encased in a stainless steel enclosure. The unit is suitable for washdown and can be used in the food industry.
Mercury analyser
17 January, 2003 | John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd
The Milestone DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyser enables direct determination of mercury content of solid and liquid samples. The need for sample digestion and chemical pre-treatment is eliminated.
Freezer storage racks
17 January, 2003 | Thermoline L+M
Thermoline L+M is manufacturing a range of stainless steel inventory racks to suit chest and upright freezers. The racks feature a safety retaining bar which prevents the storage boxes falling out of the racks when being loaded or unloaded from the freezer. Also available is an optional locking arrangement to protect samples from being inadvertently used. A drawer type system is also supplied. Boxes are available in a variety of sizes and materials.
Sulfate water analysis test kits
16 January, 2003 | Edwards Group Pty Ltd
The CHEMetrics Sulfate Vacu-vials Test Kit (K-9203) for water analysis features self-filling Vacu-vial ampoules, which the user simply snaps in the sample. The Sulfate Vacu-vials test method employs the barium sulfate method. Sulfate ion reacts with barium chloride in an acidic solution to form a suspension of barium sulfate crystals of uniform size. The resulting turbidity is proportional to the sulfate concentration of the sample and can be read on any spectrophotometer that accepts a 13 mm cell.
