Analytica 2012 Preliminary Registration Report:
Analytica 2012 on the Road to Success
A total of 633 exhibitors have already registered for the fair (compared to 586 in 2009). As a result, the International Trade Fair for Laboratory Technology and Analysis currently has eight percent more registered visitors than it did at this same point the last time that the fair was held.
“These positive interim results surpass the results from the last time this event was held,” explains Norbert Bargmann, Deputy CEO of Messe München GmbH. “This strong response demonstrates the trust that the industry places in analytica. We are collaborating with the industry to further develop our successful concept and reach new visitor target groups with new ideas.” As the industry association SPECTARIS announced at its autumn gathering in early September, the fact that interest is so high reflects the industry’s optimism for the coming year. “Most companies are looking optimistically into the future. Given the way that business is currently developing, they appear to be right. I assume that the industry will continue its growth trend of the past few years both in 2011 and again in 2012, provided that growth is not stifled by problems in the financial world again,” said Mathis Kuchejda, Chairman of the SPECTARIS association.
Thanks to the three-day analytica Conference, the international trade fair will once again bridge the gap between science and industry. The scientific conference is being organised by Forum Analytik, which consists of Germany’s three leading scientific associations, i.e. GDCh (German Chemical Society), GBM (German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and DGKL (German Society
for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine). Renowned scientists from around the world will discuss the latest developments, current trends and future technologies. The topics being covered during the three-day conference range from new spectroscopy
techniques for chemical analysis to challenges in separation and analysis techniques and analysing bioactive compounds.

to the World of Laboratories For the first time ever, portions of analytica Halls B1, B2 and A3 will be transformed into genuine laboratory environments. International companies will present their equipment in live operation on laboratory benches. Daily experiment presentations will inform visitors about developments in fields inclusing; diagnostics, plastics analysis and water analysis. analytica 2012 takes place in Munich from April 17 – 20.
Exhibition Director Katja Stolle: “By introducing the Live Labs, we are establishing new elements that allow visitors to exchange information about products and discuss specific applications with manufacturers under actual working conditions directly at the fair.” In addition, daily live demonstrations on the topics of diagnostics, plastics analysis and water analysis, allow experts from the industrial and scientific sectors to deal with the latest issues and introduce innovative methods and techniques.
International Environmental Technology will be exhibiting at Analytica on Stand 106 in Hall A1. Please come and tell us about your new product launches and your company news.
See you in Munich! New Handheld XRF Analyser
Oxford Instruments (UK) is proud to launch a new member of its handheld XRF analyser X-MET7000 series, the X-MET7500. The X-MET7500 delivers fast and accurate analysis of the widest variety of materials, including trace elements and light elements (from magnesium) analysis, without the need for
helium purge or vacuum pump.
It is used as a screening tool for metal industries: Positive Material Identification, Metal recycling; Scrap sorting, Gold and Precious Metals verification, including tramp elements in jewellery, Mining processes, Environmental screening, Lead and other hazardous substances in paint, toys and other consumer goods, RoHS / WEEE / ELV
compliance screening, Treated wood recycling and Drywall analysis.
The X-MET7000 series offers an improved, intuitive and easy-to-read graphical user interface. The bright and high contrast 4.3” Blanview® transmissive LCD touch screen ensures optimal outdoor viewing, even in direct sunlight. Its ease of use guarantees maximum productivity. Both handheld XRF analysers come with a new enhanced data download reporting flexibility. The result screen and reports can be easily customised, e.g. to show only pass/fail messages. The rugged, yet light and compact design of the X-METs withstands the harshest environments and weather conditions.
Reader Reply Card No. Complete System to Perform Kjeldahl Analysis
VELP Scientifica (Italy) provides scientists with a complete system to perform Kjeldahl analysis and determine the nitrogen and protein content in different samples. Designed to ensure optimum accuracy and quality of results the matching DKL Digesters and UDK Distillation Units incorporate multiple innovations.
The DKL Digesters maximise automation, including automatic lift and vacuum control. A large program library, including the most commonly used international methodologies already installed, simplifies operation and saves time. Run data can be stored via a USB connection for optimised transfer on top models. A range of models is available to suit the required sample capacity.
A series of UDK Distillation Units provide choice of automation levels but in all cases ensure simplicity of operation and full protection of the sample and operator. The Distillation Units offer a high level of technology, including the VELP patented steam generator (absolute safety as it operates without pressure), titanium condenser (patent pending), whose water consumption is a fraction of the expected amount, and technopolymer splash head that ensures that all nitrogen is analysed for the highest possible accuracy of results. The top of the range UK 159 incorporates a colorimetric titrator (AOAC recommended). As with the DKL digesters, display screens provide full information and control. Touch screen on advanced models of Distillation Units.

Concentration of Extracted Samples a Time Consuming Process
For environmental, food and agricultural scientists that commonly employ solvent extraction techniques - concentration of extracted samples prior to analysis has traditionally been a time consuming manual process involving exposure to organic solvents.
Genevac (UK) has announced the Puck - a new accessory that extends the sampling versatility of its Rocket Evaporator to simultaneously accommodate up to eighteen 60ml Accelerated Solvent Extractor tubes.
Benefiting from a new patented low temperature, low pressure steam heating technology developed by Genevac – the ASE Compatible Rocket Evaporator is able to achieve the dual goals of very fast evaporation with very precise temperature control thereby accelerating the safe concentration of extraction samples. Evaporation of ASE tubes is fast, safe and provides excellent recoveries of even the most volatile analytes. In addition Genevac’s patented Dri-Pure technology prevents solvent bumping and cross contamination inherent with rotary evaporator and other vacuum evaporation systems.
