Analytical Instrument Manufacturer Announces Strategic Acquisition
TE Instruments (the Netherlands) Management team announces the acquisition of Euroglass B.V. per July 1st 2014. The acquisition is in line with the company’s strategy to maintain full ownership in all products and disciplines related to the Trace Elemental – combustion analyser market. The integration of all personnel and activities will be completed by the end of 2014.
Euroglass B.V. develops, manufacturers, repairs and services specialised laboratory glassware for combustion analysers and custom glassware for global key accounts. The company origins from former Euroglas/Thermo in the Netherlands and supplies all factory original glassware for related instruments, as well as the TE Instruments XPLORER series.
The integration of Euroglass B.V. is the perfect addition to TE Instruments in terms of speed of delivery of spare glass parts and flexibility of special customer requests. It aligns seamlessly with the substantial growth TE Instruments has experienced in Q1 and Q2 of 2014. Strategic Partnerships are in place to meet the increasing opportunities, especially in key growth regions like Russia (EPAC), USA (EST Analytical), India (Labindia) and China (TEGENT).
Trace Elemental Instruments manufactures the smallest bench space laboratory instrument for the analysis of Total Nitrogen, Total Sulphur, and Total Halogens; the XPLORER series enables optimal application flexibility for liquid, solid and Gas/LPG matrices, as well as AOX, TOX, EOX and POX applications.

Engines and other machinery must often operate under extreme conditions such as high temperature environments and heavy loading, and manufacturing of lubricants is no exception.
Additive packages are used in lubricant manufacturing to help prevent possible mechanical failure of process systems due to excessive wear or heat. In order for additive packages to be most effective, precise elemental analysis is required to ensure the correct blend of organometallics—compounds containing metal-carbon bonds that work to prevent wear. Critical elements to monitor within the additive package include phosphorous, zinc, and calcium, all of which are critical for prolonged performance.
Over time, friction and corrosion of engine components can introduce metals into the lubricating oils and impact equipment performance. Contamination can also come from outside sources such as dirt or leakage. Monitoring for suspect metals in lubricating oils can help determine whether servicing or maintenance of the system is needed. Identifying trends and detecting trace amounts of wear metals such as iron and chromium can help to reduce maintenance and prolong engine or machine life.

The HD Maxine Analyzer from XOS (USA) offers an inexpensive, easy-to-use alternative to ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) for detection of multiple elements in additive packages. The HD Maxine is suitable for use in both laboratory and production applications. There is minimal sample preparation and the analysis is non-destructive. Simply pipette or pour 1 ml of sample into the test cup and measure with the press of a button. The HD Maxine provides precise, multi-element results in ten minutes or less, completely eliminating the need for a lengthy and expensive ICP-AES procedure.
The HD Maxine is powered by high definition XRF (HDXRF) technology, delivering exceptionally low levels of detection for multiple elements. HDXRF uses doubly curved crystal (DCC) optics to enhance measurement intensities, capturing x-rays from a divergent source and redirecting them into an intense focused beam on the sample surface. The use of multiple DCC optics enables multiple select-energy excitation beams that efficiently excite a broad range of target elements in the sample. This technique eliminates x-ray scattering background under the fluorescence peaks, greatly enhancing detection limits and precision.
