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.

ilmt.co/PL/K62E 59955pr@reply-direct.com Energy-Efficient Nitrogen Generator for Single Quad LC-MS
Peak Scientific, a leading provider of laboratory gas generators, made a significant breakthrough in innovation during the 71st ASMS conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics in Houston, Texas. They proudly unveiled their latest innovation, the Horizen 24 nitrogen gas generator, designed specifically for Single Quad LC-MS applications. This ground-breaking product represents the culmination of 25 years of dedication to manufacturing nitrogen generation solutions for LC-MS.
The Horizen 24 is equipped with a range of proprietary technologies that make it the most efficient nitrogen generator created by Peak Scientific. Among its notable features are brushless compressors, which contribute to reducing power consumption by more than 50%. Additionally, a two-stage active moisture safeguard has been implemented to minimise the risk of moisture entering the gas stream. The generator also incorporates heat optimisation technology, which protects the membrane from water droplets, thus enhancing overall performance and reliability in the gas stream. These advancements ensure the production of ultra-dry, high purity nitrogen gas, ideal for LC-MS analysis.
Recognising the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions, Peak Scientific aimed to develop the most environmentally friendly nitrogen generator in the market while maintaining a compact footprint. The Horizen 24 accomplishes this goal by consuming over 50% less energy compared to previous models. By generating 55% less heat, it also helps laboratories reduce air conditioning costs. Moreover, the Horizen 24 plays a vital role in minimising the operational carbon footprint of labs when compared to traditional cylinder- based systems and similar generator models.
Fraser Dunn, Peak Scientific’s Head of Design Engineering, said of the launch, “Horizen 24 has truly been a giant leap for us at Peak in the benefits we can provide to labs around the world with this latest nitrogen generator for Single Quad LC-MS.
“The generator has been fitted with a number of new technologies which have helped us to achieve better energy efficiency than any other single quad nitrogen generator on the market. We’ve not only reduced the cost of ownership for labs, we’ve produced a nitrogen generator that is significantly smaller than its predecessor without compromising on quality, reliability or purity.”
