Detector-Only Version Added to Low Cost Spectral Sensing Line for High Volume OEM Use
goodbye Wave
The ED-XRF analyzer that performs like a WD-XRF — at much lower cost.
Once you see the new SPECTRO XEPOS ED-XRF spectrometer in action, you’ll send your pricey wave- length dispersive X-ray fluorescence model packing. The affordable SPECTRO XEPOS provides compa- rable or superior elemental analysis performance for critical applications from rapid screening analysis to precise product quality control.
The new SPECTRO XEPOS
Ocean Optics has expanded its Spark spectral sensor range with the addition of the Spark-DET-VIS. The most versatile of the Spark line of spectral sensors, the tiny sensor-only version weighs less than 1g, making it the smallest spectral device on the market. While optical technology advances have shrunk instrument size, the Spark-DET-VIS still delivers full spectral measurements over the visible wavelength range of 380-700 nm.
The low-cost Spark-DET-VIS measures simple absorbance, fluorescence and emissive colour. Its ultra-compact size is ideal for high volume integration into the custom electronics of a wide range of portable and Internet-enabled sensing devices for environmental, food, agriculture, biomedical and quality control applications. The Spark-DET-VIS requires custom electronics and complete integration, with expert support from Ocean Optics’ OEM engineering team. A USB version is available for initial application development.
The Spark-DET-VIS is the first Ocean Optics spectral device to replace traditional diffraction gratings with a solid-state optical encoder. The resulting unit size and cost are comparable to that of a less robust RGB filter diode detector, but with the ability to take full spectral measurements.
Spark has remarkable performance for a spectral sensor of its kind. Its aperture design optimises light throughput. Robust optoelectronics ensure thermal stability over a -10° – 60°C operating range, for accurate analysis even in harsh environments. Unlike comparable devices, Spark delivers optical resolution of 4.5-9.0 nm (FWHM), making it viable for a wide range of applications.

81 Microvolume Spectrophotometers Purchased by Queensland University of Technology Purchase for new Teaching Labs
DeNovix Inc, a developer and manufacturer of life science instrumentation and assays for the life sciences announces Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has adopted the DS-11 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer as a key undergraduate teaching tool.
QUT, based in Brisbane, Australia is globally recognised for excellence in teaching and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.
“To equip students for the world of advanced research, we see access to cutting-edge instrumentation as vital to providing first-class training,” said Associate Professor Terry Walsh, Head School of Biomedical Sciences at QUT.
“As part of a large-scale refurbishment of our teaching labs in the Faculty of Health, we identified a UV-Vis spectrophotomer as a fundamentally important instrument for students to access.”
“We were very impressed with the ambition of QUT,” said Fred Kielhorn, CEO of DeNovix.
“In order to fill their demands for 81 spectrophotometers in their labs, the DS-11+ had to meet the demand for a high-performance, compact, standalone instrument that works in both microvolume and cuvette applications. During evaluation, it was clear that our custom Android™ platform allowed easy access to the data via USB or Wi-Fi and provided a familiar interface for students.
“Our company philosophy of providing tools designed by life scientists, for life scientists means that an intuitive user interface and easy access to data were key features in the design of the DS-11. Seeing QUT integrate this into an undergraduate teaching program tells us we got this right,” Kielhorn continued.
The DS-11 rapidly quantifies 0.5 – 1.5 µL samples of nucleic acids and proteins. The stand-alone unit includes an Android™ based operating system that does not require a PC. The system features a glove compatible, high-resolution, 7” touch screen. Measurements are made using intuitive EasyApps® designed for the most common life science applications. The DS-11 is a full spectrum (190-840nm) UV-Vis spectrophotometer and measures the broadest concentration range of any microvolume spectrophotometer. The DS-11 Series is also available as a combined Spectrophotometer / Fluorometer.

Empa utilises Axetris mass flow controllers (MFCs) in its research laboratory at the ‘Top of Europe’ for CO2 isotope tracking. Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) currently use Axetris mass flow controllers (MFCs) in its research laboratory at the Jungfraujoch High Altitude Research Station, located at the ‘Top of Europe’. Axetris MFCs were chosen to fulfil the strict demands of repeatability and stability for enabling high-performance isotope tracking using laser spectroscopy.

“For the development of our high-precision spectroscopy setup, we were seeking small, reliable and fast MFCs. Axetris has been able to provide these crucial components which have significantly contributed to a worldwide unique trace gas analyser,” said Dr Béla Tuzson, Empa, Laboratory for Air Pollution/Environmental Technology.

Mass Spectrometer for Bioreactor Quantification
The Hiden HPR-40 DSA mass spectrometer systems are engineered specifically for monitoring dissolved gaseous content in aqueous solutions. All systems feature a media interface with semi- permeable membrane to enrich the transition of gases and vapours and simultaneously inhibit the transfer of water vapour. Applications include diverse areas of microbiological study including fermentation culture analysis, biofuel research, methane generation, soil core sampling, seawater and freshwater evaluation.
The systems enable real-time monitoring of dissolved gaseous species in bioreactor operation and in evolved fermenter off-gas, including continuous measurement of CO2 , O2 , N2 , organic
vapours. Interface types include slim immersion probes for static media and circular flow-through membrane carriers for flowing media, with choice of membrane and membrane area to optimise sensitivity for specific gaseous species. For photo-responsive studies, cuvette-style vessels are available with integral agitation and capacities ranging from 2mL to 500mL. Hiden’s most recent additions are the range of DEMS cells for real-time electrochemical reaction studies.
Systems can be process integrated to enable monitoring and control of media parameters including temperature and media flow rate. Multiple probes can be configured to enable automated stream sequencing for process laboratory multi-stream monitoring.
