xvi UK Focus - Environmental Analysis Quantitech Launches New AA Mercury Analyser
Instrumentation specialist Quantitech (UK) has announced the release of the latest instrument in the Teledyne Leeman Labs range of elemental analysers – the Hydra IIAA Automated Mercury Analyser. With advanced user-friendly software, fast sample throughput and a high capacity 270-position autosampler, the Hydra IIAA has been developed for speed, accuracy and productivity.
For the first time, it is possible to quickly swap the liquid handling module for a solids thermal combustion unit for direct solid analysis. This is a result of the Hydra IIAA’s modular design and offers the ultimate in flexibility and future-proof technology.
Dr Gareth Pearson, Quantitech's elemental analysis specialist, believes that the new instrument will be extremely attractive to environmental laboratories, adding: "I have been amazed at the speed and simplicity of operation that the Hydra IIAA offers. Also the flexibility to upgrade a liquid mercury analyser to accommodate solids, without having to buy a new system, makes this system very attractive."

Mass Flow Measurement of Wet and Dirty Gas Streams
Based on a simple and robust through-flow design, the Mass-Stream® Series
from Bronkhorst (UK) presents no obstructions to the flow path, has no moving parts and features very low-to-ultra low pressure drop across the instrument. These features make the Mass-Stream ideal for the mass flow measurement of dirty gases, wet gases and even a combination of the two. Furthermore, the minimal pressure drop prevents harmful liquid drop-out from
condensing gases, thereby eliminating internal corrosion and increasing instrument life.
The Adept HPLC range from Cecil Instruments (UK) has now been expanded to include Q-Adept systems, a quaternary low pressure mixing pump and a binary low pressure mixing pump. These space saving and compact systems add even more versatility to modular systems and provide enormous cost savings.
Because the systems are modular, different detectors may be accommodated depending on analytical requirements. These detectors include variable wavelength UV/Visible, WaveQuest UV/Visible, electrochemical, refractive index, conductivity and fluorescence. Each detector is of the highest industry specification and is renowned for its Ultra-Low Drift.
Comprehensive, versatile, intuitive and easy to use PowerStream software provides for 21 CFR part 11 compliance. Adept and Q-Adept HPLC systems have been designed with the user in mind. Systems are easy and fast to install. They are virtually plug and play.

Typical flow measuring applications for the Mass-Stream series include biogas from land-fill sites and digesters, WF6, SiCl4 and other particulating or condensing gases, dirty exhaust gases from combustion processes, carrier gases for particle analysers and humidified powder carrier gases for pharmaceutical research. In addition, the straightforward design can be applied to such cost-sensitive applications as consumption metering for accounting or internal billing purposes, medical gas monitoring, burner ratio control, air flow control in paint spray lines, multiple gas mixing and gas generators.
Options include an integrated flow display on all models, a range of readout systems for analogue instruments, and digital versions providing fieldbus interfaces. One possible configuration is the combination of an external potentiometer, on-board PID control and integral flow rate indication; whilst still providing an output signal for data logging, such an instrument represents a standalone solution, without the need for an external set-point signal.

Fibre Photonics (Scotland) and J&M Analytik AG (Germany) have signed a commercial agreement during ACHEMA 2009. To complement its range of mid infrared fibre optic immersion probes, Fibre Photonics will now offer the J&M Analytik range of UV/VIS/NIR fibre optic spectrometers and fibre probe technologies for chemical development and process analysis.
In the laboratory and online, the applications for optical spectroscopy in process analysis are extensive. For solids or liquids, blending monitoring, cleaning validation, drying processes or wet granulation, J&M Analytik instrumentation provides individual PAT solutions for many industries including pharmaceuticals, inks and chemicals production. Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can be used for on-line monitoring of blend processes saving time and money by reducing cycle times and offline sampling errors. Using on-line UV-VIS spectroscopy for rinse monitoring can eliminate time consuming and costly off-line HPLC measurements.
