Environmental Laboratory New Turnkey Analyser for Polyols and Derivatives


ABB (USA) announces the introduction of the new MB3600-CH70 Polyol Analyser, a rugged and high-performance industrial FT-NIR spectrometer for R&D and QA/QC applications on polyols and derivatives. This spectrometer is intended for chemical industry laboratories that perform a large number of daily measurements for QA/QC analysis or at-line process support. It is particularly adapted for applications in the fields of polyols and polyurethanes.


The MB3600-CH70 is a maintenance-free bench analyser enabling fast determination of several quality properties in liquid chemicals. It captures over 20 years of expertise in polyol analysis, in particular for the determination of hydroxyl value (OH) an important quality estimator for organic compounds. The OH value measures the amount of reactive hydroxyl groups available for reaction and provides critical information on distribution and range of chain lengths.


The MB3600-CH70 features a set of pre-loaded calibration models with operator interface for immediate OH value determination in polyols and derivatives. This


approach is easier, cleaner and significantly faster than the primary titration methods that require toxic solvents; it makes the MB3600-CH70 a true turnkey solution operational from the day of installation. Users can access an extensive library of FT-NIR spectra and additional custom calibrations can be developed on the MB3600-CH70 for rapid measurement of more quality parameters such as iodine value, acid value, saponification number, amine content, isocyanate content and TDI isomer ratio.

Since 2007 when IONICON first launched a high-resolution PTR-TOFMS instrument (PTR-TOF 8000), the company had tremendous success with its PTR-TOFMS series, selling more than 50 units to leading scientists, institutions and multinational corporations.

Continuous innovation and engineering has now culminated in the new PTR-TOF 1000, by far the most affordable, smallest and most lightweight system available on the market.


Prototypes of the PTR-TOF 1000 have been extensively tested by leading scientists in the field. Among other missions, a system modified for use on aircraft was deployed by a team of the University of Innsbruck’s Institute for Ion and Applied Physics on NASA atmospheric research aircrafts for measuring air pollution in the atmosphere.


The instrument demonstrated its reliability and robustness but also its remarkable technical abilities and speed during various international campaigns and is ideally suited for analysis of VOCs at a very high time resolution.


The PTR-TOF 1000 is an IONICON PTR-TOFMS instrument with dimensions, weight and price usually restricted to high-end quadrupole PTR-MS, but having all the advantages of the more powerful time of flight based solutions: the entire mass range in split-seconds and higher resolution for better separation and identification.

Horizon Technology (USA) is pleased to announce the introduction of the Speed-Vap IV, an improved evaporator for use in oil and grease sample preparation for gravimetric measurement. The new evaporator includes a timer and chime to make it easier to know when the evaporating sample must be observed and when the operator can be involved in other tasks. Best of all, the 220v version will be CE marked for use in Europe. The Horizon Technology oil and grease extraction (SPE-DEX 1000/3000 and SPE-DEX 4790) and evaporation systems are fully compliant with standardized methods such as US EPA method 1664B, ISO 11349 and Standard Methods 5520B. “We continue to provide our customers with new products that provide additional features, yet are simple to operate” said Bob Johnson, founder and chief technology officer.


The Speed-Vap IV can also be used to evaporate other hexane extracts, such as food fats.

New Additions to Online Resource Centre Since the launch


of Delta-T’s (UK) powerful 12 Channel GP2 Data Logger and Controller, a host of new application notes and tutorials have been added to its online resource centre.


The GP2’s


sophisticated scripting, processing, modelling and control functions mean that it can easily be tailored to huge range of uses, from simple through to very challenging.


The growing range of applications that feature in the resource centre include dew-point and wind chill, flood tray propagator system, evapotranspiration calculation and analysis, simple irrigation control program, slope stability analysis, vapour pressure deficit, soil moisture depth profile responses with irrigation control, and a method for closed loop irrigation control.


The resource centre also features a series of tutorial videos and free download of the GP2’s sophisticated DeltaLINK Software. DeltaLINK includes a unique Simulator that generates realistic simulated environmental data quickly and easily. This function runs independently of the logger and allows years of logging time to be simulated in just a few minutes – enabling the testing of logging programs (and evaluation of experimental method) before real-world activation.


Key software features of the GP2 Logger: Easy selection of sensors - accessible and fast pick and click system; Sophisticated control algorithms - create complex and powerful models such as PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control via simple step by step operation; No programming language skills are needed - only a reasonable knowledge of (Excel spreadsheet-level) algebraic expressions is required; Custom in-line data processing - implement real-time data-driven calculations such as dew-point, wind chill factor and evapotranspiration calculation and analysis with ease; Multi-zone functionality - control and monitor up to 6 independent experiments/ zones concurrently and an Environmental data Simulator - simulate and test your program before real-world activation.
