New Generation of Portable Infrared Analysers with Enhanced Performance Features
A new generation of portable, easy-to-use infrared (IR) analysers – InfraCal 2 – will be introduced at PITTCON 2013 byWilks Enterprise (USA), Booth No. 934. The InfraCal 2 Analysers combine improved electronics which significantly improve signal-to-noise ratio with a touch screen intuitive display that allows for a multitude of new options and features – including multiple calibrations, internal data logging, alarm functions, password protection, data transfer capabilities, and internal battery pack. The result is a compact, rugged package, weighing less than 6 lbs. with no moving parts. This provides improved sensitivity and detection limits for various on-site measurements such as sub-ppm detection levels of oil in water, cleaning of metal parts, flexible film analysis, and numerous quality control measurements.
The new InfraCal 2 Analysers make it economical and easier than ever to move repetitive measurements from the lab to the actual analysis site where they can be routinely handled by non-technical personnel. On-site measurements using the InfraCal 2 Analyser typically takes from one to 10 minutes (depending on the analysis) and eliminate the wait for off-site lab results which can take hours or days to receive.
Reader Reply Card No. Interview on Technologies and Services from American Laboratory
In a recent interview by American Laboratory editors with Collin D’Silva and Rohan Thakur, President and Vice President of the Bruker CAM division (USA) were probed on their business strategies, technology, services and markets and the article is available for download
Over the past two years Bruker has made a strategic move to extend their capabilities into the chemical and applied markets. Through innovation and a higher R&D investment than average, Bruker has designed new instrumentation and software platforms that directly address the needs of the user. With gas chromatographers (GC) suitable for almost any application, Bruker has become a major player in the GC field. By eliminating barriers to the use of GC – for example with a 14 language user interface – their global presence is increasing. Double award winning system such as the SCION GC-MS TQ, and state-of-the-art electronic architecture has allowed Bruker to support companies worldwide in markets and
applications such as food testing (pesticide residues and beverage grade CO2), renewable energy and biofuels, such as creating biojet and using beverage grade CO2 analysers. Turnkey solutions requiring minimal user input and training mean all of these benefits are available for any laboratory undertaking routine chemical analysis in the food testing, environmental monitoring, water testing, toxicology, forensics and sports medicine markets.
“With a significant presence in over 30 countries, Bruker CAM sets the standard not only for analytical instrumentation, but software and methodology too. We continue to invest our R&D resources in the redevelopment and advancement not only of existing product lines but also new ones such as the SCION” explained Collin D’Silva. “ The introduction of our new websites such as
globalfoodtesting.com and
globalenergytesting.com means our customers can match our capabilities in relation to their needs. With the pressure on analysts to ‘do more, with less, more quickly’ we have had proven success with applications such as pesticide screening”.

Indoor Air Quality - A Breath of Fresh Air in Asia
PPM Technology (UK) have recently completed a major deal to supply formaldehyde detection instruments to health authorities in China. PPM have supplied 120 of their hand-held instruments for detection of formaldehyde in the air – the Formaldemeter htv.
The instruments will be supplied to the Government Procurement Office of Shan Xi Province. As well as this tender, PPM have also received an order for 60 instruments from their distributors in China - Science International.
The Far East has been PPM's biggest market for a number of years, thanks in part to legislation introduced which demanded monitoring of formaldehyde levels in many industries and workplaces.
Over the last decade PPM have succeeded in finding markets throughout Asia, with many of their key markets now in the region. PPM are doing business in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and China, which collectively accounts for between 50-60% of their overall business.
PPM Technology's Formaldemeter htv is able to accurately measure airborne formaldehyde concentrations as well as ambient temperature and humidity levels. They’ve also developed a continuous monitoring instrument, the Formaldemeter htv-m can accurately monitor formaldehyde concentrations in real-time for up to 1 month.
Overexposure to airborne formaldehyde is dangerous to health, but the risks can be substantially reduced if levels are regularly measured and monitored.
PPM have also introduced a range of multi-parameter Indoor Air Quality monitoring devices, The Wireless IAQ Profile Monitor can contain sensors for a maximum of 7 customer specified IAQ parameters. The Mini IAQ Profile Monitor can contain a maximum of 5 sensors. Both these instruments send the collected IAQ data wirelessly to the control pc/laptop in real-time, a large number of units can be networked together to enable accurate monitoring of an entire building.
