Analytical Instrumentation New Bench Scale Crude Oil Distillation System Pilodist®
(Germany) – the specialist in laboratory crude oil distillation systems according to ASTM procedures D-2892, D-5236 and D-1160 has launched the new bench scale distillation system Petrodist®
500 Q (Quickdist) for crude oil analysis of small quantities.
The system is designed similarly to ASTM D-2892 and allows operation with a 500 ml flask to analyse from 150 to 350 ml crude oil in atmospheric and vacumn distillation runs.
A special fraction collector system allows two different sizes of receivers or alternatively a single final receiver. The computer control provides either automatic operation of each of the individual atmospheric or vacumn distillation runs or alternatively manual operation.
The system is very flexible and can be also used with our high efficient concentric tube column for other research purposes in the pharmaceutical, chemical and flavor & fragrance industry or chemical institutes in universities.

PerkinElmer Inc., (USA), have announced the launch of the FrontierTM Infrared Spectrometer, a high performance infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer built using PerkinElmer’s industry-leading spectroscopy expertise.
Part of a new family of spectrometers, the Frontier analytical platform meets diverse FT-IR challenges ranging from everyday measurements to the most advanced, complex analyses. The instrument combines best-in-class sensitivity with flexibility for many diverse sectors, from polymers and chemicals to consumer goods and pharmaceuticals, helping to protect consumers and the environment across the world.
Delivering unmatched respectability of transmission spectra, Frontier’s superb sensitivity and configurability ensure superior performance in demanding applications, helping to advance safe drug development, understand complex chemical and material properties, and meet the challenging requirements of research and academia.
Dusty Tenney, president, Analytical Sciences and Laboratory Services, PerkinElmer, commented, “With more than 65 years of experience in spectroscopy, PerkinElmer has now developed a specialised infrared spectroscopy platform that can be adapted for customers’ research requirements. With Frontier, multiple analyses can be conducted using a single instrument. From near- to far-infrared analysis, Frontier is our most powerful spectrometer to date.”
Frontier is a powerful, configurable FT-IR spectrometer that can be expanded as research goals develop. Offering more optimised sampling options than any other FT-IR in its class, Frontier’s optical flexibility enables the addition of a vast array of specialised accessories to meet a wide range of sampling challenges; whether checking for batch conformity or micro contamination. A modular and upgradeable platform combined with exceptional signal-to-noise ratio assures optimal spectral performance for near-, mid- and far- infrared spectroscopic analysis. The unique automated range changing capability allows multiple techniques to be utilised at the touch of a button, with the flexible optical system also permitting the addition of microscopy and imaging systems for detailed materials analysis.
A range of patented PerkinElmer technologies enable the Frontier to produce superior infrared spectra. Atmospheric
Vapor Compensation™ (AVC) features an advanced digital filtering algorithm designed to eliminate CO2 and H2O interferences for accurate FT-IR results. The fifth generation Dynascan™ fixed mirror-pair interferometer requires no dynamic alignment to compensate for errors in linear mirror movement. PerkinElmer’s AVI Standardization™ calibrates spectrometer wavelength scales to a higher accuracy than achieved with conventional calibration methods.

New GCMS-QP2010 Ultra Offers High-speed, Eco-friendly Analysis for Improved Productivity and Reduced Laboratory Costs
Reader Reply Card No 52
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (USA) has launched the GCMS-QP2010 Ultra, which provides best-in-class performance for GC-MS analysis. Capable of fast data measurement with sensitivity five times higher than previous models, the GCMS-QP2010 Ultra offers improved applicability for comprehensive two-dimensional GC and ultra-high separation. In addition, it is the first GC-MS system with eco-friendly features for saving consumption of power and carrier gas to minimise laboratory operating costs and environmental impact.
Shimadzu used new, patented mass spectrometry technology called Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP™), a firmware protocol that optimises the ion transmission hardware parameters with a highly efficient data collection algorithm, to increase data acquisition speed up to 20,000 u/sec and 100 Hz. ASSP also provides the added benefit of maintaining system sensitivity at elevated scan speeds.
To help increase throughput, the GCMS-QP2010 Ultra features high-speed oven cooling for shorter analysis cycles. Using a double jet cooling system, the GC cools from 350 to 50 degrees Celsius in less than three minutes. The combination of a high-speed GC method and a high-speed cooling oven can reduce the analysis cycle by up to 50 percent.
To further increase lab efficiency, the GCMS-QP2010 Ultra can accept two narrow-bore capillary columns into the MS simultaneously. Its twin-line MS system allows users to switch applications without physically modifying the column installation. Users simply decide which columns are required for analysis and choose the associated injection port.
The GCMS-QP2010 Ultra comes equipped with an Ecology mode that reduces the power consumed in analysis standby mode by 36 percent compared to previous models. Ecology mode eliminates unnecessary power consumption by the GC, MS and PC, and it also decreases the consumption of carrier gas. When used over one year of operation, Ecology mode reduces power consumption by 26 percent and carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.1 tons.
