Thermo Fisher Scientific has a new method to determine trace fluoride, chloride, and sulfate in simulated borated waters containing lithium.

Bruker Chemical and Applied Markets (CAM), Fremont, California, US: Bruker has released an Application Note detailing the development for analysis of microcystins in drinking water, by direct injection on the recently introduced EVOQ Elite liquid chromatography mass spectrometer triple quadrupole (LC-MS/MS).

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a robust ion chromatography (IC) with pulsed amperometric detection-based method for determining iodide and iodate in milk-based infant formula from all major U.S. producers.

LECO’s Life Science and Chemical Analysis Centre has released two new application notes focused on energy and fuels.

Chemical, water or other analysis requiring exact measurement and dispensing of liquid reagents relies on the use of pipettes. Some pipettes are disposable, however, reusable glass pipettes are preferred because they are typically of higher quality and are calibrated more exactly.

The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay is an analytical method to determine the antioxidant potential of nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and food ingredients.

The answer is simple: if you use your balance at all, regular calibration is critical. The question frequently comes up when a balance is initially purchased. A new balance operator’s manual almost always recommends calibration before use

Although gold nanoparticle production can be controlled to yield specific size ranges, both the concentration and size of nanoparticles must be checked following production. UV-Vis spectrophotometry is an established QC method for this; however cuvette spectrophotometers often require dilution of the nanoparticle solution before measuring, and volumes up to 3 mL.

While searching for that extra degree of safety in your laboratory or trying to remove fumes/gases from the laboratory environment NuAire has the proper canopy connections to exhaust your Class II, Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet.

With the expansion of the global nutraceutical market, the spotlight on the analysis of its raw materials is ever increasing. Testing of nutraceutical products for heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury has gained utmost importance. Extremely low levels of these heavy metals like mercury, in nutraceuticals make its analysis challenging.
