Oxford
Instruments, the supplier of intelligent benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(NMR), announces a new release of MultiQuant software for quality control users
of the MQC family of analysers.
In response to feedback from the worldwide user base, Oxford Instruments has
provided new features on its MQC range of benchtop NMR analysers. MultiQuant
Version 6.1 brings many enhancements that may be customised to fit the needs of
the local user through provision of a regional language menu. The new software
also addresses the specific needs of a quality control operative to ensure
consistent data and performance of the instrument.
Making the instrument more straightforward to use was key in the design of the
new software. For example, the autotare balance options provide for optimum
throughput. This is particularly relevant if the application is for oil and
moisture measurement in seeds or when looking at the spin finish (OPU) on
fibre. A user no longer has to press any button on weighing their sample prior
to measurement. They just place the sample tube inside the instrument and the
measurement starts automatically. This is useful when operators routinely have
to make measurements more than hundred times in a single day. With all measurements
being carried out with an instrument temperature of 40?C, the software now
automatically displays any variations from the set point temperature in red, an
immediate and clear warning.
Quality control applications often call for batch analyses. For example, users
may prepare a batch of samples to measure consecutively. They have the need to
enter sample information, (e.g. sample identification, mass, etc.), then
measure each sample in turn. The MultiQuant software now allows this either by
adding the details from a list manually in the software, or by copying the
whole list from the clipboard (e.g. from Notepad, Excel) directly into the
batch facility available in the Analysis section.
After analysis, it is now a simple process to copy results directly from the
log file into Excel or Open Office. This is particularly useful for users who
need to produce their own reports without going through a LIMS system.
Lastly, MultiQuant 6.1 is fully
compatible with the MQC Autosampler, speeding sample throughput, especially
useful when samples require conditioning at a non-ambient temperature. The
Autosampler also allows sample tubes to be automatically tared, moved from the
conditioning block to the balance and finally into the magnet for measurement
without further user intervention.
