Analytical

Thermal Desorption Autosampler

CDS-7500

  • Features the ability to change between thermal desorption tubes for air analysis and VOA vials for soil and/ or water analysis
  • Also able to connect to different front end concentrators such as the CDS-7000 purge and trap concentrator, Dynatherm 9300, and even PT systems from OI and Tekmar
  • Compatible with different manufacturers’ sorbent tubes

CDS Analytical www.cdsanalytical.com 

Glass Trace Analysis Solution

rIQ™

  • Combines sophisticated image analysis software, advanced optical design, and standard reference materials
  • Enables criminalists in modern forensic laboratories to measure the refractive index of multiple glass fragments simultaneously, quickly, and with the highest accuracy
  • When combined with CRAIC microscope spectrophotometers and microcolorimeters, the transmission and fluorescence spectral characteristics of glass evidence can also be determined quickly and accurately with the same instrument

CRAIC www.microspectra.com 

Dumas Nitrogen Analysis Instrument

Dumatec™ 8000

  • Provides reliable Dumas analysis results at a low cost per sample and in just three minutes
  • Design avoids calibration standardization between batches of the same sample type, giving a fast start up time of 30 minutes
  • Features a three-stage water removal system that ensures a long lifetime of the water trap-packing
  • Versatile for all sample types

FOSS www.foss.dk 

Molecular Beam Mass Spectrometers

Veraspec

  • High performance gas sampling systems designed for the analysis of high pressure reaction processes up to atmospheric pressure
  • Suited to the study of gas kinetics of atmospheric reactions, clusters and high pressure plasmas
  • Feature the MAX quadrupole mass filter, a 19mm rod diameter triple filter quadrupole
  • MAX quadrupoles are available in mass range options up to 16,000 amu

Henniker Scientific www.henniker-scientific.com 

Hydrophobic Interaction Columns

MAbPac HIC-20 and MAbPac HIC-Butyl

  • Provide laboratories characterizing monoclonal antibodies (mAb) with additional hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) selectivity options
  • Proprietary chemistry used in the new columns is designed to provide new selectivity in high-resolution separations with excellent biocompatibility and high recovery
  • Designed for compatibility with organic solvent and aqueous mobile phase, as well as for rugged stability and very low carry-over

Thermo Fisher Scientific www.thermoscientific.com 

GPC/SEC Platform

OMNISEC

  • Integrates highly efficient sample separation via the OMNISEC RESOLVE module and high sensitivity analysis using OMNISEC REVEAL, a fully integrated multi-detector array
  • Designed for researchers and formulators developing novel natural and synthetic polymers, pharmaceutical, and biopharmaceutical products and foods
  • OMNISEC REVEAL can be purchased as an individual detector module to add to an existing GPC/SEC system

Malvern Instruments www.malvern.com 

Miniature Spectrometer

Flame

  • Delivers high thermal stability and low unit to unit variation without compromising the flexibility and configurability that are the hallmark of modular, miniature spectrometers
  • Features interchangeable slits, indicator LEDs and simpler device connectors
  • Provides great flexibility for a wide range of UV-Vis applications in chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, earth science, and chemical engineering

Ocean Optics www.oceanoptics.com 

UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

UV-1280

  • Offers wavelength scanning from 190 to 1,100 nm
  • Suited for applications in a variety of industries, including environmental, food quality, and life science
  • Enables intuitive operation, while the enhanced validation, maintenance, and inspection functions improve work efficiency
  • Monitored system for the D2/WI lamps ensures that users can perform highly stable measurements with this compact unit

Shimadzu www.ssi.shimadzu.com 

PTR-TOFMS System

PTR-QiTOF

  • Features a quadrupole ion guide (Qi)
  • Delivers up to 25x more sensitivity, one order of magnitude lower detection limit, and 20% higher mass resolution
  • Boost in sensitivity is especially beneficial for cutting-edge applications like eddy-covariance flux measurements, where ultra-low VOC concentrations have to be quantified with more than 10 Hz

IONICON www.ionicon.com 

Basic Lab

Hotplate Stirrers

  • Incorporate two independent control circuits; the additional and independent safety circuit is for limiting the maximum heating plate temperature
  • Extra circuit can be adjusted between 50 and 360ºC but cannot be changed accidentally
  • Ensures that the flashpoint of the user’s reaction solvent is not exceeded, making it ideal for teaching laboratories
  • Features a hermetically sealed design
