Taking pictures with your camera you may find that images often look okay on a first glimpse, but when zooming in fine details are barely noticeable.

In contrast, the high information density of high resolution images will reveal even the smallest details.  Since the introduction of ICP optical emission spectrometry, the spectral resolution has been a main concern with respect to accuracy and sensitivity. The wealth of emission lines from the plasma frequently leads to overlapping between lines of the analyte and that of accompanying elements. In many sample matrices such spectral interferences...

For rapid and precise determination of liquids and gases, particularly in the trace range, the use of vertical systems has become standard.

With the increase in complexity and viscosity of samples, however, it is necessary to use the horizontal mode. The multi EA® 5000 combines both modes in one and the same device. The double furnace can be quickly set up vertically or horizontally. The use of only one multi-purpose combustion tube for all standard applications makes conversion child's play. Therefore the multi EA® 5000 perfectly meets the requirements of...

In high-throughput analysis the most important demand is to have safe and stable performing analysis systems.

To ensure this, usually trained personnel must carefully check and maintain the core components of the analyzer in short intervals. This costs valuable operation time. The laboratory technician has to make sure that the measurement results are not affected by the quality of combustion or by the sensitivity of the detection. Also drying and cleaning of the reaction gas play an important roles in the analysis process...

A justified question: for half a century, AAS users had to put up with abstract numerical values.

How they come about and whether they are actually accurate remains a secret. The High-Resolution Continuum Source (HR-CS) AAS used in the contrAA® series from Analytik Jena provides the AAS user with significantly more information. Thanks to the combination of a xenon lamp covering the entire relevant wavelength range, a high-resolution spectrometer and a CCD-detector, it has become possible to visually represent the absorption spectra of samples...

Fast and cost-effective sulfur determination is an important task of process optimization and quality control in refineries.

Even very low sulfur contaminations can poison the catalyst and thereby affect its effectiveness. To avoid troubles feed stocks, process streams, and final products must be monitored precisely. The most reliable method to do so is the thermal decomposition of samples followed by UV-fluorescence detection of the formed SO2 (e.g. ASTM D 7183, D 5453 or DIN 20846). Dependent on the process step, the sulfur contents can vary in a broad range from a few ppb up to high ppm...

Operational business benefits from a good project business 

Offshore-produced oil contains considerable chlorine contents, which adversely affect the transportation and refining process.

High temperature oxidation followed by coulometric titration is the ideal technique to determine this parameter but suffers from incomplete combustion, escalating with the sample complexity. But the intelligent flame sensor technology of multi EA^® 5000 fully automatically takes the varied combustion behaviors of samples and different quantities into account, which leads to complete oxidation, small variations, less need for replicates, and a distinct reduction of maintenance requirements.....

The High-Resolution Continuum Source AAS technology (HR-CS AAS) now also enables the detection of non-metals using an AAS instrument, the contrAA^® from Analytik Jena.

Thanks to a Xenon lamp as continuous radiation source, any wavelength is available for measurement on the contrAA^® - including molecular bands. By converting the non-metals into characteristic molecules, these can be detected using molecular absorption spectrometry (MAS). HR-CS MAS is a new robust method for the selective analysis of the individual non-metals in aqueous and organic solutions and directly in solids - independent of the type of chemical bonding...

In the year 1846 Carl Zeiss founded the Optical Workshop in Jena which was the beginning of the industrial production of analytical instruments worldwide.

In 1963 Carl Zeiss Jena introduced the spectrophotometer SPECORD^® that succeeded the Pulfrich photometer first presented in 1924. Even in those days, the SPECORD^® series was known for being "reliable, fast, extremely robust and universal". 2013 marked the 50^th anniversary of the SPECORD^®, one of the most successful analysis instruments from Jena. Analytik Jena acquired the product section of lab analysis technology from Carl Zeiss Jena in 1995....

The analysis of gaseous matrices is still a real challenge. No matrix type is as versatile in its behavior and the requirements for sample feed and combustion process.

This makes it difficult to gain quick, precise, and reliable results. Thanks to the outstanding flexibility of the application-optimized gas sampling systems, the elemental analyzer multi EA^® 5000 can analyze liquefied gases (LPG), pressurized gases (methane), but also none pressurized (expanded) gases for element contents in the range of ultra traces up to percentages. In only one single cycle, the sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, and chlorine content is determined...

Analytik Jena once more expands the range of applications of the revolutionary contrAA^® product series

Now the simultaneous analysis of several absorption lines in the measured spectral range is also possible. This offers great benefits especially in the relatively time-consuming graphite furnace technology, because several elements can be detected simultaneously using a single atomization....

Analytik Jena UK will be celebrating the 50^th anniversary of the SPECORD^® range of spectrophotometers at the Lab Innovations exhibition by showing the SPECORD^® 210 Plus double beam UV/Vis instrument. The multi N/C 3100 and the multi N/C UV HS TOC analysers will also be on show, reflecting the fact that the company also has decades of experience in this field of analysis.

The ‘mercur’ from Analytik Jena UK is a compact system specially optimised for the complete, cost-efficient determination of mercury traces to the ng level.

The instrument guarantees mercury analyses in accordance with EPA 1631, EPA 245.1, EPA 245.2, EPA 245.7, EN 1483, EN 12338, EN 13806 and EN 13506. The ‘mercur’ is available in atomic fluorescence (AFS), atomic absorption (AAS) and combined (DUO) versions.  With excellent detection limits and a wide linear measuring range, atomic fluorescence spectrometry is often the method of choice in mercury trace analysis...

Analytik Jena AG's company museum presents the exciting history of analytical measuring technology in Jena to visitors, customers, business partners and interested guests over 70 square meters, and showcases the successful continuation of instrument development at Analytik Jena up to the present day.

More than 40 exhibits are on display from the three business units of Analytical Instrumentation, Life Science, and Optics, including many historical instruments from the time before Analytik Jena was founded in 1990 - starting in the 1960s and 1970s, and stretching into the 1990s. A variety of instruments ranging from spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectrometers, thermal cyclers, automatic pipetters, and refractometers to small reflex sights from the Optics unit are on display...

Analytik Jena AG, based in Jena, Germany has acquired all of the outstanding shares of Upland, California based UVP, LLC including its subsidiary, Ultra-Violet Products, Ltd., located in Cambridge UK.

UVP is a leading manufacturer of bioimaging systems for applications in proteomics, genomics, plant and animal sciences. The company also manufactures ultraviolet products, light sources, and laboratory equipment such as hybridization ovens, transilluminators, crosslinkers and PCR hoods....
