New XRD System Announced The D8 DISCOVER Plus from Bruker combines the high power of the new TXS-HETM
accuracy of the new high endurance ATLASTM goniometer.
The TXS-HE is optimised to deliver an extremely high intensity X-ray beam without compromising flexibility to meet the most demanding analytical needs in today’s research, development and process control. The TXS-HE significantly reduces data collection time compared to conventional X-ray sources and delivers better data quality, giving new insights into structural properties of investigated materials. Further, the additional speed of the TXS-HE enables the studies of dynamic processes including time dependent phase transitions and kinetics in materials better than ever before.
The advanced design of the new ATLAS goniometer delivers an even higher level of angular positioning accuracy, thus increasing the reliability of measured data for all applications. It is extremely robust ensuring that this level of performance is maintained for all configurations from classic powder diffraction to epitaxial thin-film characterisation. As a result, the D8 DISCOVER Plus with ATLAS goniometer even tops Bruker’s unique total system alignment guarantee, setting the new standard for XRD laboratory systems.
By combining the high X-ray flux of the TXS-HE, the outstanding accuracy of the ATLAS goniometer, and the large detection area and dynamic range of the new EIGER2 R 500K multi-mode Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector, the D8 DISCOVER Plus offers unmatched capabilities for the analytical tasks in materials research and analysis.
“With the introduction of the D8 DISCOVER Plus, Bruker once again sets new standards in XRD instrumentation. The D8 DISCOVER Plus is designed to deliver top-class results for structure analysis of all kinds of materials, from powders in the pharmaceutical industry to crystalline structures in semiconductor devices, and is a further step to strengthen Bruker’s position as the provider of the most powerful and user- friendly XRD solutions on the market,” stated Dr Lutz Bruegemann, General Manager XRD and Vice President of Bruker AXS.

Using the Power of Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Ultimate Detection Performance
Coupling Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS) with either cold vapour generation or hydride generation has been PS Analytical’s (PSA) core competency for over 30 years.
For the determination of mercury, arsenic, selenium, antimony and bismuth, PSA offers some of the best laboratory instrumentation available. The instruments are typified by their small footprint, ease of use, good reliability and robustness, as well as having affordable purchase and running costs.
PSA works with many industries, organisations and markets to deliver industry leading analysers. The systems are used to analyse waters, soils, sediments, air, stack gas, blood, urine, food and beverage, petrochemicals, polymers, minerals and many other sample matrices.
PSA analysers provide excellent detection performance including ultra-trace limits of detection, a linear response over several orders and minimised interferences from other matrix components. PSA’s unique flow cell design, removes troublesome glass or quartz material and results in reduced carryover for faster throughput and less re-runs.
The instruments are ‘speciation ready’ with easy coupling of chromatographic systems to our ultimate performing analysers. With literally thousands of systems in the field today, and support networks in Europe, USA and SE Asia, PSA offers the ideal package of performance, reliability and support.

Versatile Gas Analysers Showcasing at Pittcon 2018
Research and development facilities around the world have chosen Hiden’s QGA and HPR-20 atmospheric pressure gas analysis systems to facilitate high sensitivity, fast response studies of process gases, reaction products and breakthrough gases in catalyst characterisation, materials screening, fuel cell development and biogas studies - to name just a few of the many applications the systems have addressed over the last 3 decades. On display at the forthcoming Pittcon 2018 Conference & Expo will be Hiden’s QGA quantitative gas analysis system, for direct real-time analysis, quantification and control of gas related processes ranging in pressure from 100 mbar to 50 bar. Please drop by booth 1360 in Orlando, FL USA 26 February to 1 March 2018 and staff will be pleased to learn more about your requirements and have the opportunity to guide you in the choice of gas analysis system.
The bench-top mass spectrometer systems are coupled to the user process by the integral robust, flexible, quartz-lined heated capillary with sample consumption rates as low as 1 mL/min and response times as low as 150 milliseconds. Process interface options enable analyses through the very broad pressure regime and are suited to diverse application areas including top-gas analysis, measurement of dissolved species, multi-stream monitoring of gas feed and process exhaust lines (up to 80 individual gas streams), process/thermal reaction studies, respiratory analysis.
System operation, calibration, data acquisition and display are fully automated, with full manual control selectable when required. Integral I/O’s permit import of external data, such as temperature, for integration with the mass spectral display, and output of process detail for process control functions.

New Range of Conductivity Reference Solutions Introduced Romil is pleased to introduce PrimAg®
PrimAg® each PrimAg®
conductivity reference solutions for the calibration of conductivity meters, further extending the comprehensive range of certified reference materials (CRMs). Each calibrant or reference solution is supplied with a certificate of calibration detailing its calibrated
or measured conductivity, as well as the associated uncertainty traced to Romil primary silver. PrimAg®
launch of the PrimAg®
is the clear choice when traceability is crucial. Romil is the only UK CRM manufacturer accredited to ISO 17025 requirements for calibration, and product is manufactured according to ISO Guide 34 and fully traceable to SI units, eliminating the need for any additional validation. The range of conductivity reference solutions further extends this extensive product portfolio, perfectly complementing the existing
broad selection of single and multi-element reference solutions, multi-ion solutions, pure stoichiometric substances and volumetric reagents, plus bespoke calibration mixes tailored to specific user requirements and instrumentation.
For laboratories needing to meet the forthcoming USP <232>/<233> regulations for the determination of elemental impurities in pharmaceutical products and dietary supplements, PrimAg®
calibration mixes containing between six and 15 elements suitable for the calibration of inductively-coupled plasma constituents characterised via the PrimAg®
methodologies are also available. Alternatively, laboratories can choose individually formulated reference solutions, custom-manufactured from high purity traceability scheme to match specific analytes or required concentrations. For maximum flexibility, there is a choice of PrimAg®
-xtra, PrimAg®
depending on the CRM – offering a range of certification levels to suit each laboratory’s specific applications. Discover PrimAg®
for yourself at
