ICP-MS to Tackle Complex Samples


Thermo Fisher Scientifi c showcased its new triple quadropole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, the iCAP TQ ICP-MS system, which provides scientists with advanced interference removal and lower detection limits for challenging sample matrices, while offering a sample introduction component that bolsters experiment reproducibility. The detection of metals and several non-metals is essential to evaluate clinical samples for disease, contamination on industrial sites and the safety of food for human consumption.


Also displayed were new chromatography columns and a kit that will support environmental and industrial markets which are facing challenges from evolving regulatory requirements. These included:


The Thermo Scientifi c EPA 8270D analyser kit designed to support the detection and monitoring of soil, drinking water and wastewater for semi-volatile organic compounds, enabling the rapid implementation of the U.S. EPA Method 8270D by environmental laboratories worldwide.


The Thermo Scientifi c Dionex IonPac AS23-4µm analytical and guard columns use smaller resin particles to enable effi cient separation and detection of oxyhalides and common inorganic anions in drinking water, groundwater, and wastewater.


The Thermo Scientifi c Dionex IonPac CS20 ion chromatography columns provide high selectivity for the detection of alkyl and alkanol amines within environmental samples at only one percent of the fl ow rate of standard bore systems, saving on operating costs and waste production, while maintaining performance.

Proven Analyser Forms Benchmark for New Range


The current range of Seal Analytical AutoAnalyzers analysers have been developed from the highly successful Continuous Flow Analyzer- the Auto Analyser II. The original AutoAnalyzer II is said to be the instrument that most EPA methods reference for automated colorimetric analysis.


Seal AutoAnalyzers perform automated wet chemistry analysis using a special fl ow technique called “continuous fl ow analysis” or more correctly “segmented fl ow analysis” fully automating repetitive and complex sample analysis steps from start-up to shut-down. Continuous or segmented fl ow analysers have been developed for running a few parameters on a large and very large number of samples. These analysers provide maximum sensitivity by ensuring the reaction always goes to completion and with digital true dual-beam detection system with real-time referencing, high reproducibility and low detection limits are achieved- features that are found in the company’s analyser range designed for environmental samples like water, wastewater, seawater, soil, tobacco, plant, fertiliser, food and wine.

Wizards Set-up Guides Measurement Parameters


Results-oriented hardware and software advancements in Raman imaging and SPM innovation were the focus of WITec’s booth, with the company presenting its Suite FIVE operating concept which provides intuitive and sophisticated control of measurements, guided by new software wizards, from initial setup through data post-processing and correlation. Included with Suite FIVE is WITec’s novel TrueComponent Analysis. This data-processing function expedites the identifi cation and location of chemical components in a sample.


Also on display was the next generation TrueSurface optical profi lometer. The combination of surface analysis and Raman spectral acquisition enables topographic Raman imaging on rough and uneven samples. One-pass simultaneous operation makes 3D Raman chemical characterisation easier and faster than ever before.


“WITec established Raman topographic imaging with TrueSurface. We then continued to innovate, leveraging the inherent strengths of our systems,” said Dr Olaf Hollricher, Managing Director of R&D at WITec. “The overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers confi rms that chemical 3D surface analysis with TrueSurface is a successful concept with an enthusiastic following in academia and industry.”


With the TrueSurface option, Raman spectra are acquired from precisely along a surface, or at a set, user-defi ned distance from a surface. This makes the distribution of chemical components within the sample visible in three dimensions. Rough, inclined or irregularly-shaped samples can be investigated with the same ease as standard samples. The requirements of sample preparation can therefore be drastically reduced.
