Raman microspectroscopy
21 April, 2003 | Warsash Scientific Pty Ltd
Warsash Scientific has released the InVia Reflex fully automated Raman microscope from Renishaw. They add simplicity of operation to the performance and flexibility to Renishaw's high optical efficiency Raman microspectrometer design, with a directly coupled Leica DMLM microscope.
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).
Fourier transform infrared spectrometer
20 February, 2003 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
Shimadzu's FT-IR, the IR Prestige-21, offers an expandable wavelength range from near IR to far IR (12,500 to 240 cm-1) and features an S/N ratio of 40,000:1 or higher. This is achieved with a high sensitivity DLATGS detector, high throughput optical elements and a high intensity ceramic light source.
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.
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.
Visible light spectrophotometers
20 February, 2003 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The range of Bibby Anadeo visible spectrophotometers is compact and easy to use. It has a large clear LCD, an intuitive navigation system, and is user-friendly. Users can become familiar with the functions very rapidly, including the programmable memory facility. The precision optics system gives reliable results.

Spectroscopic research spectrometer
20 February, 2003 | Ai Scientific Pty Ltd
The Digilab FTS 7000 is a high performance spectrometer designed to meet the requirements of the spectroscopic researcher. Based on a 2" clear aperture, air-bearing, 60° Michelson interferometer and a high flux water-cooled source, the FTS 7000 can be configured to cover the spectral range from 50,000 to 10 cm-1. It also has a wide range of scan speeds, capable of collecting over 100 spectra per second in rapid scan mode, down to slow step scan speeds for frequency domain or time domain step scan spectroscopy.
High resolution spectrometer
20 February, 2003 | Lastek Pty Ltd
The Model HR2000CG-UV-NIR high resolution spectrometer is a pre-configured system that provides complete wavelength coverage from 200-1100 nm with 1 nm FWHM resolution.
Food analyser
20 February, 2003 | Analytical Technologies Australia
The Unity FoodStar 1100 is a scanning NIR analyser designed to meet a wide variety of at-line analysis needs. The FoodStar 1100 uses the entire shortwave-NIR scanning range (730-1100 nm) to provide accurate readings of fat, moisture, protein, and many other constituents.
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.
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.
