Environmental Laboratory
New approach for environmental testing using ICP-OES outlined in new white Paper
Thailand Lab International and Bio Investment Asia Hit New Success Milestone
The 9th edition of Thailand Lab International, the international trade show and conference on Analytical Laboratory Equipment & Technology, Biotechnology & Life Sciences and Chemicals & Safety and the 6th edition of Bio Investment Asia, were again a success. The exhibitions were held on 25th - 27th September 2019, at EH 102-104, BITEC, Bangkok.
SPECTRO Analytical Instruments has published a new white paper, “A New Approach to ICP-OES Analysis for Environmental Testing.”
Environmental laboratories might like to standardise on one ICP- OES solution for most or all of their analysis needs. But different spectrometer types have different advantages and disadvantages for various applications. For instance, they derive diverse benefits from their internal plasma viewing technologies.
SPECTRO’s new white paper details how recent developments in viewing techniques helped create a versatile new type of spectrometer. Its brand-new dual side-on interface (DSOI) technology can offer significant advantages for environmental laboratories in routine applications, including waters, wastewaters, soils and sludges.
For instance, DSOI technology offers twice the sensitivity of conventional radial systems yet avoids the complexity, drawbacks, and cost of vertical dual view models. It provides high stability, the same high linearity as traditional radial-observation ICP-OES, improved ease of use and less maintenance requirements than vertical dual view systems. Additional advantages of the technique: only a measurement, using a single plasma view, is needed — a definite speed advantage compared to dual-view spectrometers.

Recent research of mercury pollution in fish and environmental samples
The 3-day shows were attended by 10,859 trade visitors from 59 countries, the highest number that these exhibitions have attracted over the past 9 years. It has increased by 19% from the previous edition, and served 255 both local and international exhibitors from over 30 countries around the world, showcasing more than 550 brands. Country pavilions such as China, India, South Korea and Italy were present, including new pavilions such as LAB Service and Start-Ups, in an exhibition area of approximately 12,500 m2 of floor space.

The opening ceremony at Thailand Lab International.
Guests, exhibitors and business owners took advantage of the great opportunities at the events - high level executives discussed business strategies and signed contracts for partnerships; visitors and end users had the chance to get hands-on experience of innovative laboratory technologies and also kept themselves up-to-date with the latest know-how. Buyers and relevant international associations, from the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Italy, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia that participated at Thailand Lab International 2019 & Bio Investment Asia 2019, aimed to initiate cooperation and to expand their knowledge with big local distributors, MNCs and international organisations, which could eventually lead to technology transfer, future partnerships and business investments. 479 successful meetings took place as a result of the business matchmaking program, with a total estimated trade value of around 600 million THB during and after the exhibitions.
Around 50 seminars were organised during the shows, including 36 academic and 14 technical sessions, with topics ranging from food testing, medical technology and bio-medical research funding opportunities. More than 2,286 delegates attended the conferences, which were conducted by 200 speakers, with 53 overseas professionals as well as local experts. These statistics confirm that Thailand Lab International 2019 & Bio Investment Asia 2019 created a quality marketplace for laboratory equipment and technologies and paved the way for more investment opportunities in life sciences, biopharmaceuticals and healthcare as the Kingdom promotes its Thailand 4.0 economic initiative.
The success of the recently held edition was immediately evident through the onsite rebooking rate, which was calculated at 64.5%. Thailand Lab International & Bio Investment Asia will proceed to its 10th Year Anniversary on 16-18 September 2020 at EH102-104, BITEC, Bangkok. Contact the organisers to see what the special theme is for the ten-year celebration and to be a part of these shows next year.

Mercury is a ubiquitous heavy metal that biomagnifies at successively higher levels in the aquatic food chain. It can have adverse effects on the fish population itself as well as on both humans and fish-eating wildlife.
Mercury is a powerful neurotoxin and a persistent environmental contaminant that accumulates in the tissues of fish in regions where artisanal scale gold mining exists. Consuming contaminated fish is one of the primary Hg exposure pathways. Studies conducted by the Carnegie Institution for Science’s Department of Global Ecology found that many of the consumed fish species sold in the markets of Madre de Dios, an Amazonian region in southern Peru, had levels of mercury well above international reference limits. This indicated a serious public health and environmental problem.
Several methods exist for the determination of mercury in fish and biological tissues including cold vapor atomic adsorption (CVAA) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Both require a preliminary sample pretreatment step of acid digestion.
On the other hand, the DMA-80 evo Direct Mercury Analyser from Milestone can measure total mercury in both solid and liquid matrices without any sample preparation, providing much faster analysis than conventional techniques.

GASEX spectrometers, from Arcoptix, have been designed for low maintenance, simple, and reliable operation even in harsh environments. Due to its’ lightweight construction (13 kg for the portable unit, 3.8 kg for the OEM version), compact form (450 x 320 x 280 mm for the portable unit, 380 x 180 x 120 mm for the OEM version), robustness and high reliability GASEX is ideal for field measurements, including mobile operation (submarine, vessel, road-vehicle, airplane) applications. GASEX also makes a handy companion in laboratories for any user in need of fast response on-line gas analysis. A GASEX is simple to use, the first spectrum is obtained within minutes after unpacking. This versatile instrument offers a resolution of 2 cm-1 2-12 microns (830 – 5000 cm-1
, a spectral range of ) and can operate
autonomously, in situ for up to 8 hours.
