Environmental Laboratory Auto-Protection for Cost-Effective Work
In high-throughput analysis the most important demand is to have safe and stable performing analysis systems. To ensure this, usually trained personnel must carefully check and maintain the core components of the analyser in short intervals. This costs valuable operation time. The laboratory technician has to make sure that the measurement results are not affected by the quality of combustion or by the sensitivity of the detection. Also drying and cleaning of the reaction gas play an important roles in the analysis process. If they are not working properly not only wrong results are delivered, but also expensive system components can be contaminated or damaged by condensation and clogging.
The multi EA 5000, from Analytik Jena (Germany), with auto-protection system automatically monitors the drying and cleaning process. This avoids problems from the very beginning and thereby ensures best analysis results. If maintenance is required, the operator will be informed by the system itself. In addition auto-
protection safeguards the entire analyser by trapping harmful particles and aerosols. It prevents also back-fl ush of scrubber solutions and electrolytes (chlorine analysis) in case of power failure. This safes valuable operation time and reduces maintenance interventions to an absolute minimum.

Siemens (Germany) is extending its software range for Process Analytical Technology (PAT) with Simatic Sipat version 4.1. This scalable and modular software solution helps companies to monitor and control the quality of their products online during manufacturing. Version 4.1 features a new runtime user interface, further increased stability and robustness and expanded analysis techniques. Its main applications are in the pharmaceutical, fi ne chemicals and food and beverage industries.
Simatic Sipat is a scalable and modular software solution that enables companies to extend their quality assurance activities on a step-by-step basis within the scope of the PAT initiative. With PAT, product development and production process can be monitored, controlled and optimised by measuring the critical to quality attributes (CQA) of raw materials, process materials and procedures. This continuous monitoring of product quality can prevent deviations from specifi cations and therefore reduce production costs. In addition, it allows for Real Time Release Testing, so fi nal quality inspections can be reduced or completely eliminated. The latest version of Sipat, V4.1, has a more
intuitive, powerful and fl exible user interface. Thanks to the new dashboard function, users can now obtain a quick overview of all running PAT methods and key parameters (e.g. Critical to Quality Attributes such as dissolution, blend uniformity etc.). The embedding of the user interface to Simatic PCS 7 and Simatic WinCC also allows the user to visualise and control all PAT methods from the existing process control system or SCADA system.
Simatic Sipat 4.1 ensures even greater stability and robustness so that the system remains available as much as possible even in the event of plant network faults or temporary process instrument failure. After reconnection of the analytical instruments to the network, Sipat recovers all buffered data without requiring any manual user intervention. New functions include an optimised OPC data access interface for data capture and updated device analyser drivers. Furthermore, the new OPC automation service enables methods to be controlled in a much more integrated fashion with the automation platform. The innovations implemented in version 4.1 also include embedded real-time statistical evaluations and context-dependent data analysis, meaning that, for example, any deviations from the setpoints for biochemical reactions can be detected at an early stage and countermeasures initiated where needed.

Pyreos (UK) announces the release of what they claim is the world’s smallest spectrometer demonstration vehicle, measuring merely 4.5cm x 2.5cm x 1cm and utilising the companies pioneering Mid IR sensor technology offering extremely low power array sensors solutions. The spectrometer is a demonstration vehicle to enable application specifi c focus for consumers and customers alike.
In a time of miniaturisation many technologies cannot achieve the required size nor power consumption restrictions. Today, Pyreos has proven it can do both and ultimately driving the clear value proposition for consumer use with a cost structure that would enable every home to have the basic spectroscopy function available at arm’s length.
Based on Pyreos thin fi lm technology and understanding of the spectroscopy market, Pyreos has aligned itself with a number of key market segment experts to develop a family of products focussed on specifi c application that will change the dynamics of many industries, including but not limited to personal health, consumer, medical, environmental and industrial.
The fi rst of its kind in the industry, Pyroes expect later this year to release vastly smaller spectrometers with extremely low power consumption targeted at the wearable market which they believe will fundamentally change the meaning of personal health.
Carsten Giebeler, Chief Technical Offi cer says; “I am extremely pleased at the recent developments here at Pyreos with the release of this demonstration vehicle. I believe we have created something brilliant, something that will change the dynamics in spectroscopy and possibly change the life of many users.”
