Research-Grade Capabilities for Everyone

Portable Raman spectrometer well suited to field analysis

B&W Tek recently launched an enhanced version of its i-Raman® portable Raman spectrometer, the i-Raman Plus. The new portable instrument is powered by the company's smart spectrometer technology.

"The i-Raman Plus is a great step forward," says Dr. Katherine Bakeev, director of applications service for B&W Tek. "It puts research grade Raman spectroscopy into a platform that is accessible to more users. It's ideal for field analysis such as in vivo studies of ancient art and archaeology, environmental studies, and even identifying low-dose adulterations in counterfeit products."

The new Raman spectrometer uses a high efficiency back-thinned CCD detector with deep TE cooling and high dynamic range to deliver an improved signal to noise ratio for up to 30 minutes of integration time, making it possible to measure weak Raman signals. It also features a combination of wide spectral coverage and high resolution with configurations measuring out to 4000cm-1, enabling the measurement of CH stretching bands around 3100cm-1. The system's small footprint, lightweight design, and low power consumption mean users get research grade Raman capabilities almost anywhere.

As with all of B&W Tek's products that have smart spectrometer technology, the i-Raman Plus includes on-board processing including averaging, smoothing and dark compensation.

The instrument comes standard with a fiber optic probe, probe holder with XYZ positioning stage, cuvette adaptor for measuring liquid samples, and the company's proprietary BWIQâ„¢ multivariate analysis software.

Efficient, Cost Effective
Sample Processing
New system eliminates the need for
multiple instruments

Launched at the 12^th Annual Protein Science Week (PepTalk) in January, PerkinElmer's JANUS^® BioTx Pro^™ automated workstation for improved process development of protein therapeutics is the only workstation that accommodates multiple chromatography modes (column, tip and batch).

That accommodation eliminates the need for multiple instruments, resulting in more efficient and cost effective sample processing, the company says.

"Sample preparation for protein characterization can be a time consuming and tedious process," said Kevin Hrusovsky, president of life sciences and technology at PerkinElmer. "Automating this function frees up valuable research time and enables scientists to obtain critical information earlier in the protein development pipeline. This is particularly important to support quality by design experimentation in both upstream and downstream processes to improve product quality and reduce development time."

The JANUS BioTx Pro enables small scale purification of μg to mg proteins on one system instead of three individual dedicated systems, supporting the use of commercially available plate and column based screening tools such as GE PreDictor^™ plates, PhyNexus PhyTip^® columns and Atoll columns. Applications for the workstation include resin binding studies and conditions screening, PerkinElmer says.

Users can also expand capacity as requirements for sample throughput increase and the workstation can be combined with PerkinElmer's GX II LabChip to accelerate research and eliminate the need to handle time-consuming SDS Page gels.
