16 Portable Quadrupole Analyser for Environmental Field Studies
The Hiden pQA portable gas analyser is a versatile mass spectrometer and offered with a range of interchangeable sampling inlets to suit a broad application range. MIMS inlets are offered for analysis of dissolved species in ground water, fermentation cultures, soil samples, and general applications where analysis of dissolved species in liquid sample is required.
The system is suited to gas analysis applications, where sample volume is small, and for environmental applications where detection of low concentration levels is required. The pQA system has a mass range of 200 amu and sub ppb detection levels. Extended mass range to 300amu is optional.
The system is supplied in a Pelican® laboratory use.
case and can be powered by a 12 V supply for field use, battery and/or solar powered, or a 220 V supply for
Sampling inlet systems are offered for a broad application range including: Direct membrane inlet probe for immersion and/or insertion in liquid or sludge sample, soil core sampling for example; Recirculating probe for analysis of sample with continuous flow, extracted sea or estuary water for example; Flow through probe, low flow design for denitrification studies.
The system includes: Quadrupole mass spectrometer system from the RGA series with mass range options 200 amu; Mass spectrometer analyser manifold and UHV pump set with a manually valved dissolved species probe with silicone rubber membrane; Ion Gauge and interlocks to provide protection for the mass spectrometer in case of over pressure; fast acting shut off valve between the dissolved species probe and mass spectrometer manifold to protect the mass spectrometer in case of membrane failure - the valve is interlocked with the integral UHV pressure gauge; supplied in a ruggedised Pelican case for usability in the field; can be powered by a 12 V supply, from a vehicle power outlet, for example as well as a standard power outlet for laboratory use; total weight is less than 40 kg.

New-Generation ICP-MS System for Geosciences, Nuclear Safeguards and Biomedical Research Announced
A new inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instrument has been designed to enable scientists working in earth sciences, nuclear safeguards and biomedical research to conduct reliable, high-precision isotope ratio analysis across a wide range of applications, without compromising sensitivity, stability or ease-of-use.
The Thermo Scientific Neoma Multicollector ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS) system combines innovative features from the field-proven technology of existing Thermo Scientific variable multicollector instrumentation. A new level of automation with the integration of peripherals makes access to reliable, high- precision isotope ratio data easier and more efficient, leading to enhanced research productivity and novel applications. The new instrument offers the flexibility to quickly change between a broad range of isotopic systems, which is a key consideration for productivity in multi-user facilities.
Designed with over 20 years of experience in high resolution MC-ICP-MS and feedback from customers, the system incorporates new software and hardware technologies. The new modular concept is designed to integrate future developments.
Users of the Neoma Multicollector ICP-MS system will benefit from: the ability to extract the finest detail of isotopic information from samples, utilising the highest sensitivity ICP interface, and the lowest noise detectors available; the most flexible MC-ICP-MS instrument available; a new detector array
that covers the broadest range of isotopic applications with uncompromising accuracy; productivity stemming from the combination of modern hardware design with intuitive, easy-to-learn Qtegra Intelligent Scientific Data Solution (ISDS) software.

A Practical Guide to Implementing Clinical Mass Spectrometry Systems
Mass spectrometry is popular as an analytical tool in clinical laboratories and ‘A Practical Guide to Implementing Clinical Mass Spectrometry Systems’ would be a valuable reference book for clinical labs. The aim of this publication is to provide practical guidance for laboratories on the implementation of mass spectrometry into a clinical service where there might be limited expertise in the technique. This guidance is the author’s personal recommendation based on over ten years’ experience of clinical mass spectrometry. Throughout the text, examples are given to illustrate issues that a clinical laboratory might encounter. While some examples relate to the field of immunosuppressive drug monitoring, the issues are common and relevant to any clinical application. The guidance provided is also applicable to instrumentation made by any manufacturer.
This practical guide covers topics that range from instrument selection and business planning to installation, risk management and validation, and also includes suggestions for future prospects in this developing field.

Coated Blade Spray Technology for Breakthrough for Rapid-Screening Analysis
Restek coated blade spray (CBS) technology accelerates rapid-screening analyses to a new level of efficiency and speed. Based on strong sample extraction and ionisation foundations, CBS technology bridges the gap between sample preparation and MS/MS analysis by providing a product that can go directly from the sample to the mass spectrometer. Rapid-screening workflows that once required complex, distinct, sample preparation methods and chromatographic separations are reduced to a few simple steps. And your most powerful analytical tool - chromatography - is reserved for only select samples that need additional analysis.
As a technology on the cutting edge of commercialisation, coated blade spray will continue to evolve, but for laboratories interested in evaluating how coated blade spray can revolutionise their analytical workflows, Restek is proud to present the first in a long line of direct-to-MS products to come: the coated CB-HLB blade. A precision-made, stainless-steel blade supports a specially prepared coating of hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced (HLB) sorbent, making the CB-HLB a finely tuned sample preparation product.
Ionisation interfaces and a completely commercialised solution are under development and coming soon, but if your lab performs screening analyses, or if you are interested in finding out more about coated blade spray technology, sign up. Restek will begin sending you periodic updates on new CBS developments, and may contact you to further discuss coated blade spray or to answer any questions you may have.
