quadrupole with a drag-and-drop, easy method setup (Fig. 1). Tis is in conjunction with the all new PACER software, which flags up chromatogram runs that fail to fall within preset customer parameters.
Rohan Takur, vice president of the Bruker CAM division commented on the hardware and software components of EVOQ: “CBS helps you to develop the method upstream that has already been proven to be successful in laboratories using the SCION GC-MS system.
“Tis, coupled with the PACER software, helps you flag problem chromatograms of the LOQ, solving an everyday problem in these laboratories.
“Tis provides you with a powerful software package that will help you speed up sample-to-report time for your instrument.
“So with the EVOQ hardware, which is only 50 per cent of the solution - you now also have software that helps you complete the picture. We believe we have a very robust solution for an industry that requires rigorous quantitation needs.”
Spectral databases Bio-Rad Laboratories, a multinational manufacturer and
distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, has released several new databases and version 9.5 of its award-winning KnowItAll software.
“Te significant amount of spectral data that have been added highlights Bio-Rad’s continued commitment to creating new and valuable spectral databases,” said Gregory M Banik, general manager, Bio-Rad Informatics.
“Coupled with the significant enhancements that we have made to KnowItAll, we believe our users will be delighted with this release,” he continued. ”
Reference collections Bio-Rad offers researchers access to one of the world’s largest spectral reference collections containing over 1.4 million spectra of pure organic and commercial compounds. Researchers rely on these collections to determine chemical composition of samples by comparing them to the reference spectra.
In this new release, Bio-Rad offers several new spectral databases and has enhanced several others in the following technique areas: ATR-IR, IR, Raman, and NMR.
New ATR-IR databases released Quality analysis for food
For the increasing demand on quality and production control in the area of food and agriculture Carl Zeiss has developed spectrometer systems for:
● ●
On-line, in-line and at-line QC in production and laboratory.
Monitoring of ingredients, for example moisture, protein and fat in powder, liquids or solids. ● Colour measurements.
MCS 600 and the CORONA PLUS systems are diode array spectrometer for measurements in the UV/visible and NIR spectral range. MCS 600 is especially suitable for measurements in the UV range, versatile tasks and a very high degree of flexibility can be fulfilled. These systems will be used preferably where
portable systems are needed, where 12V power supply is required, and a maximum of sensitivity is necessary.
The TURNSTEP on the CORONA PLUS spectrometer
permits large quantities of samples to be measured in the laboratory within a short period of time, leading
to a reduction of sampling errors. This means that quality-critical parameters of the constituents used for beverages and other foodstuffs can be measured with higher accuracy – an essential requirement for ensuring constant quality of the end product.
ARMOR is an automatic reference measuring head
for contact-free in-line measurement on conveyor belts or manufacturing lines. It features an automatic reference system which permits precise measurement even if there are large distances between the measuring head and the sample material.

include: ATR-IR - Controlled & Prescription Drugs 2 - Bio-Rad Sadtler (1,082 spectra), and ATR-IR - Nutraceuticals - Bio-Rad Sadtler (671 spectra).
New databases added to HaveItAll IR, bringing this comprehensive collection to over 225,000 spectra, include: ATR-IR - Controlled & Prescription Drugs 2 - Bio-Rad Sadtler (1,082 spectra); ATR-IR - Nutraceuticals - Bio-Rad Sadtler (671 spectra); ATR-IR - Inorganics 2 - Bio-Rad Sadtler (135 spectra); and ATR-IR - Organometallics 2 - Bio-Rad Sadtler (127 spectra).
Version 9.5 of its KnowItAll Informatics spectroscopy software also includes a range of enhancements, including: spectral Search, which now offers enhanced ability to visualise results from simultaneous searches from multiple analytical techniques and the option to view even more detailed search parameters and include in reports; mixture analysis, which now offers a choice of algorithm and the ability to include/exclude known components to improve results; and spectral viewing - now including different spectral x-axis zoom zones, spectrum overview pane, the ability to calculate the ‘average’ spectrum and derivative spectra, and improved reflectance spectrum handling.
