LECO’s Pegasus BT Easily Satisfi es ASTM D5769


LECO’s Pegasus BT provides users with solutions for a wide range of applications, including gasoline and petroleum analyses; for example ASTM D5769 method requirements are fully satisfi ed. Three fundamental criteria are met for ASTM D5769: sensitivity % for 1,4-diethylbenzene, achieving specifi ed ion abundance ratios, and calibration linearity for all analytes. The Pegasus®


BT easily satisfi es these method


requirements and brings a number of other benefi ts to your petroleum analysis including sample archival for future data mining, qualitative and quantitative workfl ows, and a StayClean™ ion source, which virtually eliminates the need for source cleaning.

New, compact GC is 30% smaller and twice as fast


Booth 207 The fastest and safest way to check fl ash point


The new Setafl ash Series 3 ActiveCool is the latest in the range of Setafl ash instruments. It is designed to rapidly and effi ciently carry out ASTM D3828 Flash/No Flash tests to determine the fl ash point of liquids and semi-solids in the 10 to 135o


heated and cooled by peltier cells, this combined with requiring just 2ml of sample to complete a test means the target temperature is reached quickly and rapid temperature normalization is achieved between tests. A large, colour touch screen display with innovative menu icons guides the user through the four step test procedure, results can then be saved internally or to a USB stick. A corrosion resistant model is also available.


Setafl ash instruments offer a simple and cost effective test that can be undertaken either in the laboratory or in the fi eld. A range of innovative features ensures ease of use with only minimal operator skill required. Many traditional fl ash point tests require a large volume of sample (typically 70-80ml) and take 30 minutes or longer to perform, however the Setafl ash test takes just 1 or 2 minutes to complete and requires a small sample size of 2 to 4ml, saving costs and reducing waste.


Setafl ash is an internationally recognized and approved fl ash point test method giving proven results, specifi ed in many international specifi cations and correlating with other closed cup methods, such as Pensky-Martens, Abel and Tag, for a wide range of products and industries.

1/3 less large and twice as fast: The ‘Nexgen GC’ Compact Analyser Gas Chromatograph improves analytical produc- tivity through high speed while saving space.


Celebrating this year the 50th anniversary of its presence in Europe, Shimadzu has announced the release of the new next-generation ‘Nexgen GC’ multidimensional gas chromatograph. The Nexgen GC achieves miniaturisation and high-speed analysis by the proprietary ‘plate column’ technology and multi-deans switch (patented technology). It is a next generation GC making it easy to use multidimensional analysis suitable for complex components by installing two gas chromatographs in a small body.


The conventional multidimensional gas chromatograph (MDGC) uses two ovens equipped with capillary columns, therefore the system becomes large and diffi cult to install. Analysis also takes time, so there may be issues in terms of suitability for processing in areas such as quality control. The Nexgen GC was developed to solve these problems. It requires of about 1/3 less laboratory space compared to conventional models, and can raise the chromatographic speed faster than before, so it is possible to halve the analysis time. Furthermore, it improves analytical productivity through high speed and space saving.


The Nexgen GC is equipped with new and advanced product features. The newly developed plate column is a compact, high performance GC column which forms a fi ne fl ow path by photo etching on a 100 mm × 100 mm plate. This product is an MDGC confi guration with two column cartridges built in a compact body.


Setaflash Small Scale Flash Point Testing The safest choice ASTM D3828


• 1 or 2 minute test time • 2 or 4ml sample • 10 to 135°C temperature range • Peltier heating and cooling


Since the column is heated directly by the fl at plate heater arranged inside the cartridge, it can raise the temperature by 70°C per minute from the low temperature range (near room temperature) to the high temperature range (350°C), which was not possible with the conventional oven type GC]. Since each of the two cartridges can be heated quickly, high-speed and high separation analysis is possible. In addition, analysis time can be shortened by ‘backfl ush function’ which drives out not quantifi ed high boiling point compounds remaining after elution of the target component.

In the Shimadzu ‘heart cut analysis’ which introduces only the target component in the sample for improved separation to a second column, the company’s proprietary ‘multi-deans switch’ has been adopted. Hardly any pressure change occurs at the fi rst dimension column outlet, variation of retention time is suppressed and high repeatability is achieved that can perform heart cut more than once.

A full colour liquid crystal touch panel enables easy operation. Various functions such as self-diagnosis, automatic leak check of carrier gas, display of chromatogram etc. are possible with the GC body. An advanced user interface can analyse the state of the device at a glance and display the parameter setting screen with one click in the user-friendly ‘LabSolutions’ software. Remote monitoring of the device is also possible using a smartphone or tablet PC.
