Mass Spectrometry & Spectroscopy 15 New Rotary Vane Pump for Mass Spectrometry
Pfeiffer Vacuum, a leading provider of vacuum technology, introduces the fi rst rotary vane pump for mass spectrometry with a hermetically sealed pump housing. The SmartVane serves as a backing pump for mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, LC/MS), for applications in environmental and food analytics, as well as in pharmaceutical and clinical analytics. This vacuum pump is designed to ensure that no oil leaks occur therefore preventing any contamination. Thanks to the integrated motor, no conventional seal is needed, which means that the SmartVane has longer maintenance intervals.
As Marcel Merkardt, Product Manager at Pfeiffer Vacuum, explained: “With SmartVane, oil leaks in the laboratory are a thing of the past. Here, we combine the advantages of the tried-and-tested rotary vane pump principle with a revolutionary sealed design. In practice, this means that you benefi t from the familiar high performance of a rotary vane pump, but without any disadvantageous oil leaks.”
The low noise level of the SmartVane ensures ideal conditions in the laboratory. With its typical operating pressure of less than 10 hPA, it is quieter than other pumps used for this type of application. This makes it possible to carry out even challenging tasks in a pleasant working environment. Its compact design makes it easy to incorporate in existing systems. In addition, the pump offers intelligent communication options and can be used as a plug-and-play solution in combination with existing devices.
An additional key benefi t is the pump’s sustainability. The SmartVane has an integrated energy-effi cient IPM motor with a stand-by function. Its low power consumption automatically reduces the operating costs and CO2 More information online:

Expanded Range of OEM Compatible ICP-MS Supplies
Following the recent addition of ICP-MS supplies compatible with Thermo Fisher Scientifi c analysis equipment, Alpha Resources LLC has further expanded their supplies for ICP-MS analysis to include compatibility with two additional brands, Agilent Technologies® and PerkinElmer®
. In-stock supplies include both sample cone and skimmer cone options compatible with leading models of ICP-MS
analysis equipment. Agilent, PerkinElmer and Thermo Fisher are the top three OEM for the ICP-MS laboratory equipment used in many industrial sectors.
“Given the size of the ICP-MS market, we had always planned on supporting equipment from multiple manufacturers. It’s a little earlier than we had planned on launching the Agilent and PerkinElmer compatible cones, but once Alpha introduced the Thermo Fisher compatible cones, we began to receive customer questions about additional OEM options,” noted Ken Mantei, Director of Operations, at Alpha Resources.
“Fortunately, Alpha’s team had already been working for months to fi nalise a more expansive OEM compatible range of sample cones and skimmer cones. With our QA process complete and customer testing feedback in, we can confi dently state that Alpha can provide cost- saving ICP-MS cones for Agilent or PerkinElmer equipment which is equal in durability to OEM cones with consistently reliable analytical output throughout their life. Exactly the kind of quality customers expect from Alpha.”
As with all Alpha products, the high-quality lab supplies are compatible for aftermarket use in the specifi ed ICP-MS analysers. More information online:

Software Updates Provides New Functionality for NMR Spectroscopists and Mass Spectrometrists
ACD/Labs has announced the release of version 2022 software applications on the Spectrus® platform, and updates to Percepta® platform software. “Analytical data utilisation ‘beyond just-in-time’ decision making grows every year,” said Andrew Anderson, Vice President of Innovation and Informatics Strategy, ACD/Labs. “Version 2022 enhances the ability for scientists to interact with their organisation’s analytical data assets and leverage them for machine learning applications with bi-directional data and knowledge fl ow.”
The release of v2022 provides functionality for machine-readable structured output, which has the potential to assist stakeholders in R&D organisations with aspirations to digitalise laboratory workfl ows, reduce the degree of document-driven decision-making, and mitigate the risk of manual data transposition.
Key highlights in this batch release include: NMR - a new optimised non-uniform sampling (NUS) data processing algorithm and tools to help report the most accurate results; MS - introduction of tools for quantitative analysis and the ability to use the NIST MS search in spectral searching; Structure Drawing - the capability to search chemical structures and reactions in CAS SciFindern directly from ChemSketch, including the CAS Registry®; Nomenclature - expansion of language support; Name now supports chemical nomenclature in 21 languages; Property Prediction - expansion of data included in the Passive Absorption (Caco-2) and hERG inhibition modules; inclusion of the Class 4 ICH-M7 classifi cation; and support for import of training libraries in all major fi le types; Decision Support - tools to help track development projects in Luminata® and quickly access experimental results; the ability to compare results between species more easily in MetaSense®
Improved data fl ow and hardware/software integrations delivers broader support for processed data in CDSs and capabilities to export data in machine readable formats to support proliferation beyond the Spectrus environment (e.g., JSON and XML), as well as instrument control expansion for method development and optimisation.
The assembled data and accessible knowledge with Spectrus® offers the fl exibility to curate and store only necessary data.
The second version of Spectrus JS™ will include xC/UV/MS data processing and sophisticated, intuitive reporting. ACD/Labs’ industry-leading NMR predictors have been migrated for browser-based access, providing tools for automating, monitoring, and managing analytical data fl ows. More information online:

ICP Autosampler Supports Closed Sample Tubes
HTA is proud to announce the release of HT1200I, the fi rst and only ICP autosampler featuring support for closed sample tubes. The support to sealed samples and reagent tubes offers the defi nitive solution to corrosion and bad smell that represent very common issues when working with ICP reagents. The usage of sealed tubes helps to reduce the amount of chemical vapours in the environment: that positive effect considerably improves the quality of lab air and increases also the lifetime of any object that could be affected by corrosion phenomena. Furthermore, the support of sealed sample/solvent tubes allows to avoid the purchase of autosampler enclosures that are bulky and imply an important extra-cost.
HT1200I represents the ideal solution for high throughput labs; its layout includes three sample racks for a remarkable total capacity: up to 180x10ml sample tubes, plus 9x50ml solvent vessels can be accommodated within HT1200I carousel. Conventional tube racks are supported to accommodate a wide range of standard sample tubes, but it doesn’t end there either. For maximum fl exibility, custom racks can in fact be integrated to support even custom sample vessels and mixed rack confi guration can be included to fi t any need.
High capacity generally goes hand in hand with a bulky footprint. Forget this juxtaposition with HT1200I: its unique design minimises bench space occupation making HT1200I the autosampler that features the highest sample capacity per bench linear meter occupation.
Other benefi ts characterising the HT1200I: modern electronics, straight forward process and short fl ow path that minimises the rinse time and analyser consumable consumption. That’s why you cannot give up on HT1200I for your spectroscopy applications.
