14 New Benchtop FTIR Spectrometer
Edinburgh Instruments is delighted to announce the release of its new benchtop FTIR Spectrometer, the IR5, designed and manufactured at their global headquarters in Scotland.
The IR5 is the first Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer of the Edinburgh Instruments brand, renowned for its expertise in instrumentation for Raman, fluorescence, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopies. The IR5 is a modern, high-performance benchtop FTIR instrument which can be configured with a second detector or with Fourier Transform Photoluminescence (FT-PL) capability. The FT-PL option transforms the IR5 into a combined absorption and PL spectrometer in the MIR range, suitable for the most demanding research applications.
The newly developed FTIR spectrometer boasts several key features, including high sensitivity and spectral resolution. The Fourier Transform Photoluminescence upgrade includes a choice of laser source, while the option for a second detector provides higher sensitivity at selected spectral ranges. The spectrometer is designed for simple operation and is suitable for users of all levels, from beginner to advanced. It requires no maintenance due to its moisture control technology. The IR5 also comes with modern, powerful and intuitive Miracle™ software that has been specifically designed for this spectrometer.
Roger Fenske, CEO, says: “We are delighted to continue the growth of our molecular spectroscopy portfolio with the addition of the new IR5 Spectrofluorometer. Integrated FT-PL functionality broadens the IR5’s functionality so that it offers a wide variety of capabilities in one compact design. As always, our products come with outstanding customer support and service.”

Computer-Assisted Structure Identification (CASI) for more Efficient Data Management
The immense amount of analytical information generated daily puts analytical data management at the core of every R&D organisation. Combining, organising, accessing, and mining all this scattered and disparate data is a huge challenge faced by scientists every single day.
To overcome this challenge, a leading international tobacco company decided they needed to make their analytical data streams more accessible and re-usable, creating a globally accessible centralised database. This was no small feat given the amount of GC/MS data accumulated over the years. Ultimately, their aim was to leverage their existing data and reduce the amount of manual structure identification of aerosol components in smoke from conventional tobacco products and e-cigarettes, freeing up valuable scientist time.
The business required software that was vendor agnostic, capable of storing method data and other chemical information with spectra, and able to add spectral and chemical information automatically on an ongoing basis for centralised search and access. ACD/Labs software has been used by R&D organisations globally to standardise, process, and manage analytical data. The company selected MS Workbook Suite specifically as it fulfilled all their software requirements. MS Workbook Suite was used to create a centralised reference database of their GC/MS spectra and associated chemical information, providing context specific access to data. Cloud deployment was later adopted allowing for faster and streamlined access to stored data. Overall, this R&D organisation has seen an improvement in accuracy and speed of their structure identification. Read the full case study.

New Dissolved Species Applications Catalogue
Hiden Analytical has recently introduced its latest catalogue that focuses on dissolved species applications. This new catalogue highlights the broad range of solutions offered by Hiden for analysing dissolved species in liquids, providing customers with a comprehensive reference to Hiden’s technologies for dissolved species analysis in various real-world applications.
Having more than four decades of experience in the mass spectrometry domain, Hiden Analytical has been leading the development of groundbreaking solutions for analysing dissolved species in liquids. Whether it’s about process monitoring, quality control, or research and development, Hiden’s dissolved species analysis solutions offer exceptionally sensitive (sub ppb) and precise results for various liquid media applications.
The latest catalogue showcases a comprehensive range of Hiden’s dissolved species analysis technologies, with a specific focus on oceanic trace gas measurements, enzyme activity studies, and environmental research applications. The catalogue provides detailed information on Hiden’s solutions, including in-depth case studies that illustrate the performance and capabilities of these technologies in real-world scenarios.
“We are excited to launch our new dissolved species applications catalogue,” said Dr Dane Walker, Technical Marketing Manager at Hiden Analytical. “This catalogue showcases our extensive range of solutions for analysing dissolved species in liquids and demonstrates the wide variety of applications where our solutions have proven to be effective. We believe that this catalogue will be a valuable resource for researchers and engineers looking to implement dissolved species analysis in their work.”
The catalogue is available in both digital and print formats and can be downloaded from Hiden’s website. More information online:

High-speed, Sensitive, Two-in-One Spectroscopy
Due to its long history at the forefront of high-performance fluorescence research instrumentation, HORIBA recognised the need for a cost- effective yet highly sensitive, workhorse instrument for spectroscopy applications across a wide variety of fields. Taking advantage of its decades of experience in fluorescence, HORIBA developed a unique spectrofluorometer, the Duetta™ fluorescence and absorbance spectrometer.
As a two-in-one system simultaneously performing both fluorescence and absorbance measurements, Duetta removes the need for multiple scanning instruments. This makes high-performance spectroscopy affordable and saves valuable laboratory space. Its dual analysis also enables Duetta to automatically correct spectra for Inner Filter Effects (IFE) to ensure complete results accuracy, which is notoriously challenging with fluorescence data. Duetta can deliver true molecular fingerprints, not possible with standard spectrofluorometers.
Another unique aspect of Duetta is its speed; it is the fastest fluorescence spectrometer available. Its CCD detector takes a snapshot of the entire UV-Vis-NIR spectrum in just 50 milliseconds, over 100x faster than typical fluorescence systems. Adding to its versatility, it detects a wider wavelength range (250 – 1100nm) than most bench-top instruments, as well as acquiring a full EEM (excitation emission matrix) in seconds, thus improving laboratory workflows.
Duetta is very easy-to-use. Its EzSpec™ touch-screen software enables method files to be saved with details of all system defaults and accessory settings for a particular experimental setup. This means the scan settings for acquisitions performed routinely in a laboratory are available at the touch of a button.
