8 Analytical Instrumentation Integral Fibre Optic Probe Accessories for Handheld Raman Analysers
Rigaku (USA) Raman Technologies, a specialist pioneer of handheld and truly portable Raman spectrometers, recently announced the addition of two compact and easy-to-use fibre optic probe accessories for its Xantus-2 785nm and 532nm portable Raman analysers. Designed for pharmaceutical, research, analytical and industrial applications, the new Raman Probe II and Economy Probe will enable customers to significantly improve routine laboratory Raman spectroscopy and support true in situ analysis of an even broader range of materials.
“As our customers look to improve analysis capabilities and explore new applications with Raman spectroscopy, we will continue to enhance our products to provide valuable solutions to fit their needs,” said Bree Allen, General Manager at Rigaku Raman. “The addition of these two lightweight and easy-to-use probe accessories enables customers to broaden their use of lab-based Raman spectroscopy and truly improve workflow efficiency.”
Using the new probes, Xantus-2 customers will be able to perform analysis on a variety of materials, including dark or turbid solutions, and fulfill applications, such as immersion analysis, that standard spectroscopic platforms cannot achieve. In addition, both probe options are lightweight and small enough to fit inside typical laboratory-scale vessels, enabling customers to easily transport them to any location and share among multiple departments. The new Raman Probe II and Economy Probe are being manufactured for Rigaku Raman by InPhotonics, a leading developer of fiber optic sampling probes and accessories for Raman spectroscopy.
Rigaku Raman’s Xantus-2 is the world’s first dual wavelength Raman analyser designed to provide customers with application specific solutions for quality data analysis. It is equipped with options of 785 and 1064nm or 532 and 1064nm lasers stabilized for Raman spectroscopy, providing a unique combination of high sensitivity and minimised fluorescence.
Xantus-2 utilises integrated software combining open architecture with customisable, user-defined settings for optimised sampling parameters that result in comprehensive and actionable data analysis. Equipped with sampling accessories for solids, liquids and powders, the Xantus-2 can perform analysis directly through sample containers without altering or destroying the sample. Users are able to perform rapid quantitative and qualitative analysis and monitor reactions like oxidation and reduction directly through clear/ amber-colored glass vessels.

27283pr@reply-direct.com New GC Columns for Energy and Chemical Industries
Agilent Technologies Inc. (USA) recently launched the new Agilent J&W gas chromatography columns designed for energy and chemical exploration, processing and distribution applications. The columns include extensions to the PLOT PT product line with aluminum oxide and molecular sieve stationary phases, as well as DB-sulphur SCD (sulphur chemiluminesence detection) columns that increase system reliability and detection stability.
“We continually talk to customers to understand their needs and provide the solutions they’re looking for. Ruggedness and productivity, for example, are key drivers in the energy and chemistry industries,” said Michael Feeney, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Supplies Division, Chemical Analysis Group. “Our new columns evolved from conversations with customers who want to run more samples with less routine maintenance of their GC systems.”
Agilent PLOT columns are the optimal choice for analysis of permanent gases and light hydrocarbons.
The new Agilent J&W PLOT PT GC columns have dual-ended, integrated particle-trapping technology that prevents PLOT stationary-phase particles from moving downstream. The reduction in particle shedding results in less downtime for system maintenance and greater efficiency.
Agilent’s new PLOT PT GC columns are available in 36 configurations, including the new porous polymer (Q and U), aluminum oxide and molecular sieve stationary phases.
Agilent J&W DB-sulphur SCD columns are optimised for the analysis of sulpher compounds using sulphur chemiluminesence detection.
In collaboration with Dow Chemical and other leading companies, Agilent has developed new DB-sulphur SCD columns. Optimised for GC/SCD analyses, these new columns enable petroleum and chemical refiners to better monitor sulphur to meet stringent combustion- emission regulations. Low column bleed extends SCD signal stability to reduce the frequency and expense of detector maintenance, resulting in improved instrument uptime. Excellent peak shape for reactive sulphur compounds enables reliable low-level detection.
