60 UK Focus - Portable / Field Testing New Material ID Handheld Analyser Redefi nes Performance and Ease of Use
Rigaku Raman Technologies (USA), manufacturer of handheld and portable Raman spectrometers, has announced its next generation handheld analyser, the Rigaku Progenyä, designed from the ground up to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive and accurate materials identifi cation, and improved ease of use, adaptability and reliability. At Progeny’s core is an advanced miniature VPG-based 1064nm optical engine offering bench top quality analytical performance in a rugged,ergonomic and IP-68 sealed enclosure. Progeny’s fully customisable workfl ow software is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant and boasts a smartphone-inspired user interface (UI) shortening the learning curve, allowing rapid implementation of material ID methods, and signifi cantly improvingreturn on investment. Rigaku Raman unveiled the Progeny analyser at a press conference at Pittcon 2014 in Chicago, IL USA.
“As the fi rst company to bring a 1064nm handheld Raman analyser to market, Rigaku Raman has once again leveraged its deep understanding of Raman spectroscopy and handheld designs to achieve breakthrough technological and design advancements,” said Bree Allen, general manager for Rigaku Raman. “Progeny will reset customer expectations in the market because when compared to other handhelds available today, it offers a level of functionality and performance that simply has not been achievable in the past.”
The new Progeny analyser has been designed for pharmaceutical, chemical manufacturing and academia markets and raises the bar on the speed and accuracy inspectors, chemists and scientists can expect from a handheld Raman analyser. Key benefi ts of the new system include: 1064nm high-power excitation laser optimises speed and
sensitivity of analysis, minimises fl uorescence interferences, broadening the range of materials that can be measured when compared to other Raman laser types; an innovative 512-pixel InGaAs detector which delivers improved resolution, analytics and signal to noise, handling the most challenging mixture analyses; an ultra-fast quad-core processor to manage the most demanding search and quantifi cation algorithms without requiring remote desktop work, plus sampling accessories and adjustable focus optimises sensitivity and delivers the highest confi dence in results from a broad range of samples.

Wireless Temperature Monitoring Probe for Composting and Biomass Plants
Accurate temperature monitoring in composting windrows is essential to ensure an effi cient process and abiding local regulations. Permanent transmission of data from a wireless autonomous device to a centralised location allows continual recording and logging, improving effi ciency and reducing the time needed to complete a composting cycle. Using wireless devices increases workplace safety by eliminating running wires, as well as need for the operator to manually control the temperature several times a week by climbing on the piles.
Banner Engineering (Belgium) has developed a fi eld proven wireless temperature monitoring probe that is used in in composting and biomass plants over Europe. Designed for rough conditions, high temperature and humidity, the battery operated module has three sensors to accurately monitor the temperature gradient inside the windrow. Powerful electronics provide a strong wireless signal, and the stainless steel construction guarantees its durability.
Additional Tube Racks for Successful System

Cable Locater is Successful in the Red Dot Award 2014
With their new pipe and cable locator UT 9000, Hermann Sewerin GmbH (Germany) succeeded in winning over the Red Dot jury. The 40 international design experts evaluated 4,815 entries from 53 countries in this year’s Red Dot Award: Product Design. The UT 9000 by SEWERIN received an Honourable Mention, which honours particularly well-executed aspects of design work.
On 7 July 2014, the highlight of the internationally renowned product competition was celebrated in Essen, Germany: the presentation of the acclaimed seal of quality during the traditional Red Dot Gala and subsequent Designers’ Night. On that evening, roughly 1,200 guests from around the world gathered in Essen in order to experience the awards ceremony. In the course of the party in the Red Dot Design Museum Essen, the winners’ exhibition was also opened, presenting the award- winning product UT 9000 to a wide audience for four weeks before it enters the museum’s permanent exhibition.
The UT 9000 stands out with its innovative technology. Carefully balanced, lightweight yet sturdy: these are demands the UT 9000 fulfi ls with ease. It also impresses with a high- resolution display that is plainly legible even in strong sunshine, and cleverly structured, easily understandable menu navigation designed for intuitive usage.
Boasting over 70 frequencies, the UT 9000 is one of the most versatile pipe location devices on the market. Offering the unique option of scanning the ambient frequencies present before energising a pipe, the UT 9000 helps users with selecting the right frequency. Undesirable interference fi elds are successfully suppressed, avoiding the detection of pipes which have been unintentionally energised at the same time.
Wireless communication between the receiver and generator allows the transmitting power and frequencies to be adapted for optimum detection. Equipped with one of the most powerful generators, the UT 9000 is ideal when locating very long pipe sections.
Operators of cable networks and their maintenance technicians will also quickly appreciate the benefi ts of the UT 9000. This device is not just designed for locating pipes but is also suitable when trying to locate cable faults.
