LC MS-MS 

Shimadzu has launched the LCMS-8030, a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry system with 'exceptionally fast electronics and robust design'. According to the company, the tandem quadrupole mass analyser can process samples at up to 15,000 scans per second, with no loss of resolution, sensitivity or mass range. It incorporates 'UFsweeper' technology, which improves relative standard deviation (RSD) by a factor of two compared with conventional equivalents. 

Analyse with x-ray fluorescence 

Panalytical has brought to market a range of energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometers called Epsilon 3. The devices incorporate a 'high-performance' ceramic tube and modern silicon drift detector technology to analyse across the full range of elements, from fluorine to uranium. According to the company, they represent 'cost-effective instruments with outstanding analytical performance'. This makes them suitable for routine analysis in: cement production, mining, mineral beneficiation, petroleum refining and the polymer industry activities. The Epsilon 3 devices can be used with: solid, pressed or loose powder samples; liquid; or filter samples. 

Spin drying

Modular SFC has developed the Centrifan PE evaporator for drying lab-scale solutions and mixtures. The device incorporates a simple centrifugal system that requires no programming beyond setting the temperature - the operator just loads the samples and closes the lid. A captured volume of gas is continually circulated generating an internal gas flow and facilitating evaporation without any pumps, eliminating risk of sample bumping or foaming.

Autosampling 

Metrohm has launched the 889 IC Sample Center autosampler, designed for high sample throughput. A double needle system allows the use of vials with caps or septa. The device also incorporates a polyether ether ketone (peek) injector. According to the company, the 889 IC Sample Center is ideally suited to use with small samples. 

UV-Vis 

Implen has brought to market the NanoPhotometer Pearl UV-Vis spectrophotometer, which the company says is a 'maintenance free' device. It works with sample volumes as low as 0.3ul and has a detection range, for double stranded DNA, of between 2 and 19 000ng/ul. Measurements take 3.5 seconds. By varying the distance the light travels, the dilution lids provide automatic dilutions of: 5x, 10x, 50x, 100x or 250x.

Measuring CDOM 

Horiba has developed Aqualog, a device for measuring coloured dissolved organic matter. It is the only instrument to simultaneously capture absorbance spectra and fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs), the company says. In addition, EEMs are captured up to a 100 times faster compared with conventional equivalents. The system incorporates a thermoelectrically cooled charge coupled device fluorescence emission detector.
