Supplies Program for Major Gas Chromatography Instrument Brands
Agilent Technologies, Inc introduced the Agilent CrossLab supplies portfolio, providing high-quality supplies for major brands of gas chromatography systems. Benefits include boosting lab productivity and performance while consolidating purchasing to reduce administrative burdens.
“With Agilent CrossLab, our customers can now access supplies backed by Agilent innovation and 40 years of chromatography know-how, for multiple instrument brands,” said Cikui Liang, Business Manager, Agilent Chemistries and Supplies Division. “Customers can streamline how they select and purchase GC supplies while enjoying Agilent’s commitment to product quality, technical support and product availability.”
The growing Agilent CrossLab portfolio is manufactured to perform seamlessly with GCs from Bruker, Varian, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu and Thermo Scientific. Products include Agilent’s innovative Ultra Inert inlet liners for active compounds, plasma-treated non-stick liner O-rings and inlet septa, autosampler syringes, autosampler vials, capillary column ferrules and column nuts, to name a few.
The CrossLab portfolio complements lab resource management and multivendor services from Agilent by increasing lab productivity and providing a single source for solutions.
Circle no. 317 New Aromatics and Saturates Analyser
Separation Systems, Inc is proud to introduce a powerful new analytical system to simultaneously determine both the physical and chemical characteristics of petroleum streams with a boiling point range of 200 - 1100O
F (121 – 593O
proprietary programmable sample inlet, GC/FID and GC/MS along with the company’s industry leading SimDis Expert® distillation analysis software.
C). The system utilises a (v.9) simulated
Samples are introduced to the inlet and then homogeneously passed onto a high performance capillary column. The sample components eluting from the column are then precisely split utilising novel micro-fluidic technology and directed to the FID and MS detectors; simultaneously. Through the use of the ASA Expert (Aromatic Saturate Analysis) functionality embedded in the SimDis Expert®
software, sample data is obtained from both the GC/FID and GC/MS data systems and combined into a single ‘environment’ that dramatically simplifies data acquisition, analysis, review, and report generation. Compositional results are characterised and include: 4 saturates classses, 12 aromatic classes, 3 thiophene classes and 6 aromatic species.
The system eliminates the need to perform any physical separation of the hydrocarbon fractions (ASTM D2549, D2786 and D3239) saving both time and money. Critical cut points and subtle changes in stream composition are quickly determined for faster, better decisions.
Separation Systems, Inc is a highly experienced provider of both turnkey and customised GC and GC/MS analysis systems for the bio- fuels, fossil fuels, petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, industrial gases, and power industries. The privately owned company is located in Gulf Breeze, FL USA.

Frontier Laboratories Ltd celebrated its twentieth anniversary by opening Frontier Laboratories US, participating in its first Pittsburgh Conference and introducing the Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer EGA/PY-3030D. Frontier Laboratories U.S. will support its U.S. distributors with technical training and applications expertise. The Company’s’ goal is to ensure that every Frontier customer receives the best instrumentation, the best training and the best after sales care in the industry.
The EGA/PY 3030D pyrolyser is a fourth-generation, multi- functional GC inlet that is used to chemically characterise most liquids and solids. Like previous Frontier pyrolysers, the 3030D utilises a temperature programmable vertical micro- furnace. Every aspect on this evolutionary product has been re-engineered in order to decrease cycle time, simplify maintenance procedures and improve data quality. The 3030D comes with a two-year warranty – a first in the analytical instrumentation industry.
New Web Tool Creates SPE Methods in Seconds
Phenomenex, Inc introduces the Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) Method Development Tool – a fast online resource. This tool develops methods across a variety of sample matrices and compounds, enabling users to improve analyte concentration and detector response. The researcher enters the name of the analytical target or selects ‘proprietary’ to develop a method based on the chemical characteristics of the analyte.
The Phenomenex SPE Method Development Tool produces customised methods in less than one minute, with options to save, print or e-mail to a colleague. Users can also view an alternative method, if desired. “The use of SPE is on the rise in many industries because cleaner samples increase column life and provide increased sensitivity with fewer interferences,” explained Erica Pike, Brand Manager for Phenomenex. “Researchers are continually developing new and revised methods, and we have already developed more than 700 using this tool.”
The scalable methods provided with this new tool take advantage of the Phenomenex Strata™-X polymer-based and Strata® silica-based sorbents. Pretreatment recommendations for a variety of sample matrices are also provided.

Investment Opportunity for Innovative New Chromatography Product
JPP Chromatography, a small UK technology company, announces the development of an air stable, single (one bottle) ‘hydrindantin-free’ ninhydrin reagent for amino acid analysis. All commercially available ninhydrin reagents sold for high performance ion chromatography amino acid determinations are currently based on the original 60 year old Moore and Stein method, which requires the presence of the highly sensitive hydrindantin as an ‘accelerator’. Two or more reagents must be mixed before use in the post-column reactor, where air must be rigidly excluded at all times - a tedious and inefficient process.
JPP’s reagent still causes a high speed reaction with amino acids and amines in the reaction coil at 130ºC to produce the intensely coloured Ruhemann’s purple. It can therefore be used on all ninhydrin based amino acid analysers without modification. It is totally unaffected by the presence of air, production is much cheaper, it is extremely stable and shelf- life is very long.
JPP’s over-riding aim was to come up with a product that makes life much easier for the end user, which it has succeeded in achieving. JPP seeks approaches from potential partners.

The new Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer offers a choice of six analytical techniques: evolved gas analysis (EGA), thermal desorption (TD), reactive pyrolysis (RxPY), single-shot pyrolysis (Py), multi-shot thermal desorption/pyrolysis and heart cutting (HC-EGA). Analytical results from the various techniques can be processed using Frontier’s F-Search Polymer Identification software. Four MS libraries are available. The Polymer library matches an unknown using the entire peak profile of the pyrogram, the pyrolysates library searches and matches individual compounds. The EGA library compares the EGA thermogram of the unknown with those in the library. The additives library contains the mass spectra of over 360 additives commonly used in the polymer industry.
