Mass Spectrometry & Spectroscopy 13 Unique Mass Spectrometer Designed for Precise and Accurate Analysis of the Solar System
This summer, planetary scientists at NASA will achieve new levels of precision in their investigations into the origin of the Solar System with the delivery of Nu Instruments’ Sapphire 1700 Multi-Collector ICP-MS, the world’s largest commercially-built multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.
Designed specifically for NASA, the Sapphire 1700 MS will provide agency scientists with unprecedented levels of precision and accuracy in their analysis of meteorites, remnants of meteors dating some 4.6 billion years ago and which are a critical element in the study of the formation of the solar system. Of particular interest to scientists: analysis of three isotope systems - calcium, chromium, and magnesium - keys in determining the age, and origin of meteorites.
The Sapphire 1700 MS bound for NASA is based on the heralded Nu Instruments 1700 high-resolution plasma source mass spectrometers currently in use around the world by academic researchers in a wide range of applications. The new collision cell enhances the 1700’s ability to measure difficult isotope systems where isobaric interferences limit precision and accuracy.
Nu Instruments will install the Sapphire 1700 MS later this summer in the Center for Isotope Cosmochemistry and Geochronology Laboratory at NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) division at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston.

New NMR and EPR Explosion Protection Chamber Keeps Researchers Safe
Researchers performing pressurised NMR or EPR experiments face a danger of the tube breaking or fracturing while under pressure. The NMR & EPR Explosion Protection Chamber by Wilmad-LabGlass - SP Scienceware shields researchers from flying debris and brings a new level of safety to the laboratory.
High-pressure experiments have significantly grown in popularity over the last several years. As a result, the risk of tube explosion in the laboratory has also increased. The Explosion Protection Chamber solves this safety issue by preventing debris from projecting sideways towards the researcher should an explosion occur.
“For many years researchers have used blast shields to prepare high-pressure NMR & EPR samples, but this method leaves them exposed when transporting pressurised glass tubes to the spectrometer,” stated Susan Butch, Portfolio Manager for Wilmad-LabGlass. “Using this chamber, researchers can shield themselves throughout their entire experiment, from sample preparation, to transport, to loading.”
The one-size-fits-all design allows for the chamber to be assembled in double barrel mode for Bruker spectrometers or single barrel mode for Varian / Agilent and Jeol spectrometers. modular leg array ensures that the product fits securely against the upper barrel protruding from the magnet.
The NMR & EPR Explosion Protection Chamber arrives with all accessories needed to begin using immediately. More information online:

New All-purpose Diamond ATR
Make IRIS, the newest diamond ATR offered by PIKE Technologies, your go-to FTIR accessory. It is designed to make sampling easy. You can expect high- quality spectra covering a wide
range of samples from powders, gels, liquids, solids and more. It is ideal for research, QA/QC and sample identification.
, and is suitable for testing samples with a pH between 1-14. The diamond sampling surface combined with the unique PTFE seal between the diamond and the mounting plate adds to IRIS’ universal applicability for the analysis of strong organic solvents and caustic samples due to the chemical inertness of the accessory’s components in contact with the sample.
The backbone of the IRIS is its high-precision optics. IRIS’ powered mirrors have been designed and processed using diamond- turning technology to achieve optimal performance. All mirrors are gold-coated for maximum reflectivity. Its small monolithic diamond, less than 2-mm diameter, offers the ultimate ATR element for most all samples. It provides extreme hardness, access to the full mid-IR spectral range from 4000 – 400 cm-1
49118pr@reply-direct.com Superior Pellet Making for IR and XRF
The PIKE PressPRO Plus 25-ton programmable hydraulic press introduces an element of consistency into pellet making for XRF and IR analysis. Within a run, up to four pressure steps and corresponding hold time are easily entered through its integrated touch-screen control panel. Release pressure rate may be prescribed. During operation the real-time applied force is shown on the bright colour display. This level of control enhances the uniformity and quality of prepared samples. The PressPRO Plus is equipped with a wide access door that allows for easy insertion and removal of the pellet press. The door features an impact resistant, polycarbonate window and safety interlock which prevents operation while the door is open, making it safe in a busy laboratory environment.
