Digital ion trap mass spectrometer receives red dot: best of the best award 2021


Shimadzu has been awarded a Red Dot: Best of the Best Award 2021 in the product design category for its MALDImini-1. The prize is the highest award in this competition and is reserved for the best products in a category of ground-breaking design.


“The winners of the ‘Red Dot: Best of the Best’ have demonstrated unique design competency. Their objects set trends in product design and give a glimpse of future developments. Only a fraction of our participants achieve this perfect symbiosis of aesthetics and functionality. It’s important to recognise this wonderful accomplishment,” said Professor Dr Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red Dot.


Shimadzu’s first-of-its-kind MALDImini-1 digital ion trap mass spectrometer marks a revolution in the MALDI market: it combines smallest footprint, minimum time and micro-quantity sample volume for high-sensitivity MSn measurements. The instrument fits on a space the size of a DIN A3 sheet, allowing installation in places where mass spectrometers could not previously fit. It enables ion trapping up to 70,000 Da and the MS/ MS and MS3 functionality of the digital ion trap allows researchers to carry out comprehensive structural analyses with ease. MALDImini-1 can also be of great use for researchers working on glycans-related substances in the context of the COVID-19 disease.


The system is included in the online exhibition of the Red Dot Design Week beginning 21 June 2021. As a product awarded the ‘Red Dot Award: Best of the Best’, the MALDImini-1 is also integrated in the exhibition ‘Milestones in Contemporary Design’ in the Red Dot Design Museum Essen.

The Ideal Surface


New headspace oven automates water separation from difficult samples prior to titration


Titration is one of the oldest methods for content determination in chemistry, commonly used to ascertain an unknown component within a solution. This is achieved by monitoring the final reaction of a quantified reagent that has been introduced to the sample, using an indicator such as colour or pH.


Traditionally, titration, or volumetry as it is also known, is performed quickly and economically using basic laboratory apparatus such as a beaker, stirrer, glass burette and maybe a simple pH meter.


The actual test itself is not time consuming but when you consider the importance of measurement uncertainty and traceability and compare it to the overall time of an automated experiment, the advantages of the latest technologies on offer become obvious. Instruments, such as Xylem’s TitroLine®


Simple and compact sensor that installs above the water for non-contact measurements


KEY FEATURES 7800 with IDS technology, not only take


away the pain and potential errors caused by human interpretation of manual titration end points and subsequent empirical calculations but can also provide data security and auditability thanks to its innovative digital signal handling and sensor recognition. It is ideal for applications requiring compliance with FDA regulation 21 CR Part 11.


Importantly, Xylem’s latest TitroLine® KF solution for semi or fully automated titration of water in liquids, solids and even pastes using the new TO 7280


headspace oven not only automates the measurement process but handles sample preparation too. This provides for a faster throughput of samples, more reliable results, reduced costs and offers the benefit of a safer experiment by removing the need to handle solvents, analytes and specialty gases.


Do you want to learn more about the theory of pH measurement, titration or conductivity? If you do, please contact Xylem and ask for one of their handbooks. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/oJGJ

º New vial sampling kits for PFAS analysis


Finneran Porvair has introduced new Convenience Kits for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing.


Because Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances don’t break down they can accumulate over time in the environment and in the human body. There is increasing evidence that exposure to PFAS can adversely affect human health. As a result, regulatory bodies are increasingly legislating that many materials should be tested to ensure that they contain no traces of PFAS or that the traces are below allowed legal limits.


Because PFAS are widely used in materials, such as PTFE, commonly used in chemical analysis consumables, laboratories are in need of new labware products to minimise background contamination from these chemicals.


Finneran Porvair R.A.M™ screw thread vials are purpose designed for PFAS analyses. Manufactured from chemically resistant polypropylene, they are ideal for ‘PFAS-free’ sampling, testing, storing and transporting tasks. These lightweight vials are an economical alternative to glass and are designed to work in most autosamplers.


When you are unable to use PTFE as a vial liner, Finneran Porvair Sciences new polyimide/silicone


lined closure is the perfect alternative. This new closure has a useable temperature range up to 130°C, while the liner performs well up to ten injections. The polyimide is amber translucent and the white silicone rubber is a high purity rubber composition resulting in low leachables.


Finneran Porvair’s new Convenience Kits for PFAS testing contains 100 R.A.M™ screw thread polypropylene vials and 100 of the new closure/septa, packaged in a clear tray that fit a bench drawer for easy access.
