BioTek Instruments introduces their next generation Epoch™ 2 Microplate Spectrophotometer; with added features that enable multiple conveniences for performing absorbance measurements. Epoch 2 now includes monochromator-based individual wavelength selection or wavelength scanning from 200-999 nm to accommodate an extensive range of assays, including nucleic acid and protein quantification, ELISA, microbial growth, endotoxin, ROS assays and enzyme kinetics...
Testa Analytical Solutions e.K reports that its Nanobrook ZetaPALS zeta potential analyser is uniquely optimised to make sensitive and precise measurements in both organic and aqueous media. Typically making zeta potential measurements in organic (non polar) solvents requires much higher sensitivity than in aqueous (polar) solutions. The Nanobrook ZetaPALS analyser achieves this using phase analysis light scattering...
Data integrity in the context of laboratory analytics is a must, particularly in regulated environments. However, how is data integrity exactly defined, and what are the software features required to achieve it? A new Metrohm white paper answers these questions based on examples from modern Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Software.Data integrity is commonly defined by a number of properties, which are summarized by the acronyms ALCOA and ALCOA+, respectively...
The analysis of electrolytic etching solutions is a challenge for a large number of laboratories. Complex matrices from concentrated acids and spectral interferences make it difficult to screen for possible impurities. Regular analysis of the solutions is crucial to the quality of subsequent production processes since even the slightest impurities can have severe consequences. The automotive and aviation industries and mechanical engineering are employing electrolytic etching solutions for the surface treatment of metals...
Renishaw inVia™ microscope user, Prof. Carlos A. Carrero, heads a group that is developing advanced catalysts for the conversion of hydrocarbons into more valuable products at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Auburn University, USA. The Carrero group undertakes fundamental studies to improve and develop more efficient and sustainable catalytic processes. They aim to develop the best catalysts using in situ / operando Raman spectroscopy to gather molecular, structural, and mechanistic insights....
Labs can have a fragrance which is characteristic of a build-up of trace vapours. Ideally, the lab should not smell; however, in an environment in which automated analysis equipment continuously runs, the likelihood of organic chemical and reagent volatiles leaking increases. This concoction of substances in the air can not only be a fire and explosion risk, but can also be harmful to health. VapLock closed systems make it easy to improve laboratory safety by reducing exposure to vapors and hazardous solvent waste.
Restek has expanded its line of LC accessories to bring you even more of what you need to keep your LC flowing. Over 140 new items are now available, including fittings, tubing, mobile phase management and safety supplies, and more. Featured products include bottle top inlet valves to protect your lab from volatile compounds and your mobile phase from bacterial contamination, outlet valves to regulate pressure during helium sparging, and safety exhaust filters with a color indicator to clearly show when a changeout is needed.
Metrohm is proud to continue its productive collaboration with USP (the United States Pharmacopeia) on a global initiative to modernize monographs that have traditionally featured wet chemistry methods.
