Jumping on the API bandwagon
We are now beginning to see other manufacturers looking to API techniques and, although they are a little less mature than ours, we anticipate rapid growth over the next decade. Due to the combination of positive performance characteristics of APGC we fully expect the rapid growth in use of the technique across the coming decade.
specifi cally with respect to helium shortages, APGC offers a simple plug-and-play solution for swapping to nitrogen - an affordable, renewable alternative that delivers results without any analytical compromise. We truly believe it is a gamechanger, and hope users will, too.

ADVERTORIAL
Hiden Analytical showcase their next generation gas analyser at Pittcon 2024: The QGA 2.0

We can fi nd a good analogy for APGC in the LC-MS world, which began using electrospray ionisation to the point where, with MS/MS in particular, it became the gold standard for small molecule analysis. Why? Because ESI delivered high sensitivity and specifi city for MS/MS. APGC looks set to follow the same path - and the helium issue will simply act as a catalyst. Overall, APGC-MS/MS offers an affordable, well-suited alternative to GC-MS/MS with electron ionisation for the determination of organic compounds at ultra-trace levels.
Final thoughts
The APGC system is a signifi cant step up in terms of analytical performance relative to what we can currently achieve with EI systems. It represents a change in technology that aims to alleviate some of the biggest challenges the fi eld currently faces. And,
Mass spectrometers for vacuum, gas, plasma and surface science
Hiden Analytical, a global leader in quadrupole mass spectrometers for advanced research applications and specialist process monitoring, proudly announces the launch of its next-generation gas analyser - the QGA 2.0 - on display at the forthcoming PITTCON 2024 Conference & Expo. Please drop by Booth 1037 in San Deigo, CA, USA 24-28 February 2024.
Representing the future of gas analysis, this state-of-the-art system is designed to surpass the remarkable success of its predecessor, the original QGA.
Innovative UV-sensitive mini-spectrometer
Hamamatsu Photonics has developed a UV-sensitive model in the ‘mini- spectrometer micro series’ that offers high sensitivity, fi ngertip size and low cost. These features help slash the size of environmental measuring instruments such as those needed for water quality monitoring and analysis. The C16767MA was designed and developed by leveraging the company’s unique micro- electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology and advanced opto-semiconductor manufacturing technology.
The C16767MA separates UV light in the range of 190 to 440 nm or nanometers (one billionth of a meter) into multiple wavelengths and then simultaneously measures the light intensity at each wavelength. As just one application, for example, the C16767MA can be mounted in compact water quality monitors. Installing these monitors in rivers, lakes or oceans allows inspecting and analysing the content of multiple types of pollutants in water via absorption spectrophotometry. The C16767MA also assists in designing and manufacturing inexpensive water quality monitors that are easily installable in large numbers at many testing sites to monitor water quality, thus improving the accuracy of water quality assessment over broad- ranging areas. By expanding sales of the C16767MA, Hamamatsu Photonics will contribute to ensuring safer water and address climate change.
Sales of the C16767MA started on Wednesday 15 November 2023 for domestic and overseas manufacturers of environmental measurement instruments. The C16767MA was on display at ‘PHOTON FAIR 2023’, the all-inclusive Hamamatsu Photonics exhibition demonstrating the company’s advanced technologies and products along with the tremendous possibilities of light.
