Environmental Analysis
Whether it’s in the Laboratory or on a Chimney Stack - P S Analytical Provides Cost Effective Solutions for Mercury measurements in the Utilities Market
As more focus is given to the dangers of mercury to health and the environment it becomes increasingly important to provide reliable analytical measurements on both the levels and species of mercury being emitted from our Utilities. For more than 25 years P S Analytical (UK) has been serving the analytical community by providing environmental monitoring systems. Based on Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry our instrumentation lends itself to laboratory, online and process applications giving reliable measurements and accurate data.
PSA systems for continuous emission monitoring of mercury from coal fired utility stacks continue to provide measurement levels exceeding current legislatory requirements. Building on our experience in the Natural Gas Industry and the integration of a traceable reference standard, P S Analytical instrumentation provides users with continuous measurements even in the most hazardous area. The sensitivity and flexibility of the Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer designed by the P S Analytical team allows these instruments to be coupled to custom designed sampling systems, to ensure the integrity of the sample and provide reliable and reproducible measurements. Further validation for mercury measurements can be provided using the PSA Cavkit Calibration accessory which is traceable to fundamental measurements. Whatever your application – why not consult P S Analytical for a definitive and reliable measurement system tailored to meet your individual requirements.

Waters New Software Enhancements Expand Mass Spectrometry Applications by Automating Data Interrogation and Simplifying Workflow
Waters Corporation introduced eight new MassLynx™ workflow enhancements at the 57th American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference, designed to enhance laboratory productivity and expand mass spectrometry applications.
“Our new MassLynx workflow enhancements integrate our technologies into market leading solutions,” said Brian Smith, Vice President, Mass Spectrometry Business Operations for the Waters Division. “These software innovations realise the full potential of mass spectrometry across our entire portfolio of LC/MS and GC/MS systems. MassLynx software continuously addresses new analytical challenges, and streamlines existing ones, through advanced data interrogation capabilities and simplified workflow processes.”
Among the eight MassLynx enhancements:
The iQ II EDXRF Spectrometer gives precise, accurate analytical results on demanding process control samples, says manufacturer Spectro Analytical Instruments GmbH (Germany). Oil refiners, lubricating oil manufacturers, mineral and cement producers and many other industries will find this instrument attractive because of its simplicity of operation and impressive sensitivity for the often critical “light” elements like Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S and Cl.
The advanced polarised X-ray optical system uses a curved HOPG (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite) crystal located very close to the sample, ensuring optimum excitation for light elements. By combining this optical system with a 50 kV X-ray tube and an exceptionally powerful Peltier- cooled Silicon Drift Detector, perform- ance approaching that of much more expensive Wavelength Dispersive (WDXRF) instruments can be achieved in many applications, for both light and trace elements in liquid and loose powder samples, Helium flushing can be used with the iQ II to enhance light element performance, but unlike most small EDXRF instruments the user can also measure pelletised or fused samples under vacuum conditions, thereby dramatically reducing operating costs over the life of the instrument. A new generation of sample cassettes makes possible the extremely accurate sample positioning system in the iQ II, helping to achieve the high analytical precision required for industrial QC applications.
A selection of ready-to-go applicat- ions software packages is available for important applications such as ultra- low Sulphur in fuel oil, lubricating oil additives, cement and slag analysis. Where appropriate, these methods comply with international norms.
