BioChromato Inc. has demonstrated how a Thermal Desorption and Pyrolysis / Direct Analysis in Real Time-Mass Spectrometry (TDP/DART-MS) analysis method can reveal the thermal history of recycled thermoplastic resins. Recycling thermoplastic resins such as polypropylene is regarded as a vital step to help realise a more sustainable society. However, physical properties of thermoplastic resins such as strength and ability to elongate are known to degrade after repeated thermal reprocessing....
NADMED brings two kits to the market: Q-NADMED and Q-NAD. Q-NADMED is the first kit available for whole blood NAD+ and NADH analysis; the first CE-marked kit for NAD analysis; and the only EU IVDD compliant kit for NAD+ and NADH analysis from blood to enter the market. NADMED technology is based on proprietary extraction and the individual measurement of NAD metabolites, allowing excellent accuracy comparable to mass spectrometry...
Researchers at Swansea University have used a Linkam LTS420E-P stage to make temperature dependent measurements on organic photovoltaic (PV) cells, advancing our understanding of the PV cells that are the basis of solar power generation. Researchers at Swansea University, UK, have proven that it is possible to achieve near-unity charge generation quantum yields in organic solar cells...
Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) have evolved throughout the years to offer ever greater resolution and magnification capabilities. However, for an instrument to work at its best, all external interferences that can affect the position of the electron beam – such as vibrations and stray magnetic fields – need to be removed. Researchers at Cataler Corporation have turned to Spicer Consulting to help them to optimise their equipment for investigations into non-homogeneous catalysts....
Reliable and precise determination of carbon (also TIC and TOC), sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen concentrations as well as ash, moisture and volatile content in organic and inorganic samples is possible with ELTRA’s combustion and thermogravimetric analyzers. The process involves thermal decomposition of a sample with subsequent measurement of the released gases by means of infrared or thermal conductivity cells, or the measurement of the weight loss in thermogravimetry.
