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...

Genevac announces a proprietary “odour reduction” function for its EZ-2 evaporator which enables it to be sited on the open bench rather than taking up valuable fume hood space.
Many solvent evaporators are routinely sited inside fume extraction hoods because residual solvent vapour, remaining in the chamber at the end of a run, can expose the operator to potentially harmful odours when the system is opened. The EZ-2’s Reduce Odour function automatically adds a repeated vent and vacuum cycle to the end of a method, which purges the evaporation chamber of residual solvent vapours...
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...
