Characterisation and Quality Control of MBE Processes
Hiden Analytical present a family of quadrupole mass spectrometer-based diagnostic instruments with specific application to the molecular beam epitaxy process and to post- process thin film evaluation, with primary features highlighted in their new MBE process- specific technical information sheet.
In-process probes are specifically constructed for operation in the reactive molecular beam deposition environment, using low-reactivity construction materials and with extensive surface screening. Instruments includes the HALO MBE residual gas analyser, the XBS molecular beam deposition rate monitor with ion beam acceptance through a 70o cone angle, and a modular SIMS surface analysis tool with integrated fine-focus ion gun for in-process surface layer evaluation.

Ensure your Instrument Performance Qualification (IPV) is Fully Compliant
Starna announce accreditation to the new Reference Material Producer (RMP) ISO 17034 Accreditation for its Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for Photometry IPV.
Starna is perfectly placed to support laboratories accredited to the new ISO/IEC 17025:2017, where for the first time there are clear and unambiguous statements in the standard that ‘Certified values of certified reference materials from RMPs conforming to ISO 17034 provide metrological traceability’, and ‘RMPs fulfilling the requirements of ISO 17034 are considered to be competent’.
The new ISO 17034 outlines the general requirements for the producers of Reference Materials, including CRMs and is therefore an essential consideration when selecting an appropriate Reference Material Producers (RMPs) to supply your CRMs.
Starna Scientific Ltd. was the first laboratory to be accredited to ISO Guide 34 by UKAS, No. ‘4001’ in 2006. We are now pleased to announce that we have been successfully
assessed according to the requirements of the recently published ISO 17034:2016 Standard.
CRMs from Starna cover the spectrum from the Deep UV to the Mid IR for
a wavelength accuracy, absorbance/photometric linearity, stray light and instrument resolution. Also a wide selection of fluorescent references, and other formats such as plate readers and point of care devices are covered.
Starna – Supporting your data integrity through fully compliant Instrument Performance Qualification CRMs.
45048pr@reply-direct.com New Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS Combines Power and Simplicity
Thermo Scientific iCAP TQ ICP-MS offers advanced interference removal for analysing challenging matrices while delivering reliable, reproducible data. Laboratories working with challenging matrices can now benefit from a new triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) that is designed to combine power and simplicity in a single instrument.
The Thermo Scientific iCAP TQ ICP-MS system is an easy-to-use system, developed to support ultralow detection limits, offers advanced interference removal capabilities designed to overcome interferences common in challenging matrices. It is also designed to provide reliable and reproducible data for a range of applications.
“There’s a growing need to push the boundaries of detection, especially in metallurgy, clinical research, pharmaceutical compliance, environmental science, food safety and geoscience,” said Adrian Holley, Marketing Director, Trace Elemental Analysis, Thermo Fisher. “Our customers want the detection limits and accuracy of triple quadrupole technology with the ease of a single quad, and the iCAP TQ ICP-MS delivers that combination of power and simplicity.”
The new iCAP TQ ICP-MS allows users to switch between single and triple quadrupole modes in a single multi-element experiment so that laboratories can keep their existing workflow as well as add new capabilities over time.
“Triple quadrupole technology ICP-MS is enabling us to overcome research challenges in sample analysis that we were unable to address with single quad technology,” said Jörg Bettmer, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, University of Oviedo, Spain. “For example, analysing titanium in biological system samples is challenging due to its low concentration and similarity to other interfering elements. With the iCAP TQ ICP-MS system, we are able to significantly increase sensitivity and decrease detection limits so that we attain the measurements that allow us to analyze low concentrations of titanium in complex samples. This is especially important as use of titanium as nanomaterials continues to increase in daily consumer products.”
When combined with Thermo Scientific Qtegra Intelligent Scientific Data Software, an intuitive user interface and the Reaction Finder tool, researchers can reduce time-consuming method development.
The system requires minimal user maintenance and includes QCell flatapole technology, a small volume collision/reaction cell with flatapole rods, and a dedicated gas distribution unit for lab safety and maximum flexibility. It also features self-aligning sample introduction components for reproducibility and an ergonomic benchtop design with a compact footprint that saves valuable lab space. Finally, by integrating control of peripherals, the system is designed for outstanding productivity with minimal errors, targeting consistent performance and reliable data.

The AutoSIMS system is offered for measurement of post-process surface layer composition and for depth profile compositional changes through depths typically up to a micron. The system has an interchangeable cassette-style multi-sample holder with automated X-Y positioning stage enabling fully automated unattended operation. The fine-focus ion gun is both oxygen and argon compatible.

Real-Time Mass Spectrometers for Research, Process and Education
Extrel mass spectrometers and quadrupole components provide rapid, high-precision ion selection. Applied to gas analysis this means speed, sensitivity, and accuracy for applications that require a real-time profile of dynamic gas and vapour mixtures. Decades of collaboration with world- leading researchers have produced a portfolio of analysers optimised for use in cutting-edge experimentation and critical process control.
From fundamental research to catalysis, materials science, surface analysis, physics, and chemistry, the Veraspec line of high- performance gas analysers and Extrel vacuum probe mass spectrometers provide the ideal approach for molecular beam analysis, MS/MS, SIMS, TPD, clusters, and high resolution ion separation.
In the lab and process environments the MAX300 family of quantitative gas analysers deliver real- time, fully-automated sample compositions for advanced process control and reaction monitoring in refinery, hydrocarbon processing, syngas, metals, and bioreactor manufacturing. Debuting on booth 1452 at Pittcon 2018, the new MAX300-CAT brings the same fast, flexible analytical capabilities to the laboratory benchtop in a compact but powerful platform.
Extrel’s IQ-2000 offers research-quality, high-performance mass spectrometry in an educational package. The innovative open-chamber design makes components fully visible while operating in vacuum, and the small, transportable profile facilitates convenient mobility between classrooms and laboratories.
