Hybrid spectrometer
20 June, 2005Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced the LCMS-IT-TOF liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer, a novel hybrid mass spectrometer for biomarker discovery, metabolite identification and proteomics research.
X-ray analysis
16 August, 2004Axios is a range of PANalytical WDXRF (wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence) spectrometers with applications and capabilities tailored to meet the needs of specific industries including manufacturing, mining, research, geology and environmental technology. Axios is robust - built to work in unforgiving, on-site industrial conditions so analytical performance is unaffected by heat and dust.
Bio-analysis mass spec
16 August, 2004The Finnigan LTQ FT mass spectrometer combines advanced ion trap and Fourier Transform ICR technologies making high resolution, accurate mass determinations and MSn available for high throughput analysis on a single instrument. Experiments claim to have shown that the structure and comparison of compounds can be determined with ten times better mass accuracy than other available methods.
Determining structure using NMR
08 March, 2003A University at Buffalo chemist has developed a new, high-throughput method for obtaining nuclear magnetic resonance data that can potentially performing orders of magnitude faster than conventional methods
Quantitative analysis of small metal fragments by LA-ICP-MS
08 February, 2003Small, irregularly shaped samples can present difficulties for the established methods of metal analysis. Laser-ablation ICP-MS offers accuracy and precision independent of sample form
Molecular opto-electronic switch
08 January, 2002Using photosynthesis as their model, chemists at Washington University in St Louis, North Carolina State University, and the University of California, Riverside have tested molecular electronic switches that turn the flow of light energy on and off
BioTOF-Q mass spectrometer
21 August, 2001BioTOF-Q is an ultra-high performance electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass-selective quadrupole/collision quadrupole/time-of-flight analyser (Q-q-TOF) mass spectrometer. It adds tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) capabilities to the Bruker BioTOF II high-resolution LC-ESI-TOF system.
