ilmt.co/PL/Lewo 61253pr@reply-direct.com Comprehensive Raman library for material identification
Metrohm is pleased to introduce its latest innovation, the Metrohm Comprehensive Raman Library. This comprehensive resource contains an impressive collection of over 16,200 substances, simplifying material identification across a wide range of industries. The library significantly enhances the capabilities of handheld and laboratory Raman systems.
Derived from the strong foundation of the Illicit and Common Materials Library and the USP Certified Compounds Library, this Raman library stands as one of the most extensive collections of Raman spectra available today. It has been optimised for use with Metrohm’s MIRA XTR DS and MIRA P instruments, as well as B&W Tek’s TacticID and i-Raman instruments.
Metrohm gathered substances from around the world and meticulously constructed this library using state-of-the-art Metrohm instruments, ensuring the highest levels of quality and precision. The result is exceptional accuracy across the entire Raman portfolio, encompassing both handheld and laboratory systems operating at 532, 785, and 1064 nm wavelengths. This includes spectra collected using Metrohm’s cutting-edge XTR fluorescence suppression algorithm.
The Metrohm Comprehensive Raman Library comprises over: 7,000 organic chemicals; 2,250 inorganic/organometallic compounds; 1,900 polymers and plastics; 1,700 personal care products; 150 dyes, paints, and pigments.
Beyond being a vast collection of spectra, the library includes vital metadata such as compound characteristics, physical properties, and crucial safety information. Metrohm is committed to ongoing library development and plans to provide regular library and software updates.
“Metrohm built this library from the ground up with the goal to make the largest and most meaningful library for all of our customers,” said Nancy Morris, CEO of Metrohm Spectro. “The work continues, so we can offer the most complete and effective Raman experience possible.”

New system fully integrates icIEF-UV and mass spectrometry
The Intabio ZT system from Sciex is a ground-breaking microfluidic chip-based platform which combines imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) separation and UV detection, offering unparalleled integration with mass spectrometry (MS) identification on the ZenoTOF 7600 system. The Intabio ZT system empowers researchers to overcome challenges in early drug development and streamline the selection of promising drug candidates.
By leveraging the icIEF-UV/MS workflow, the Intabio ZT system enables rapid separation, quantitation, and identification of biopharmaceutical charge variants and their proteoforms. This integrated approach eliminates the guesswork associated with traditional methods, accelerating the characterisation process and enabling confident decision-making.
One of the key advantages of the Intabio ZT system is its ability to acquire data on charge isoforms for biopharmaceuticals in a matter of minutes, instead of weeks as previously required. This addresses a critical bottleneck in biopharmaceutical characterisation, where the lack of connectivity between cIEF and MS assays often hampers the timely identification of unknown peaks during early development stages. The Intabio ZT system’s seamless integration with the Biologics Explorer software unlocks a new depth of information, enabling researchers to gain comprehensive insights into their biopharmaceutical samples.
Commenting on the launch, Dom Gostick, Vice President of Product Management at Sciex said: “We hear from customers the consistent
need to identify developable molecules earlier in the process. To do so, we need multiple pieces of critical data up front. The Intabio ZT system provides mass information on charge variants that has the power to change protein therapeutic development by providing the comprehensive data needed to make quick and confident decisions on the developability of potential therapies,”

ilmt.co/PL/WedX 60529pr@reply-direct.com Monitoring non-metallic inclusions in steel manufacturing
Thermo Fisher Scientific has unveiled the Thermo Scientific™ ARL iSpark™ 8860 Inclusion Analyzer with Spark-DAT, the latest addition to its ARL iSpark Series Optical Emission Spectrometers. This advanced analyser offers a unique combination of full elemental analysis and rapid characterisation of non-metallic inclusions in steel, allowing steel manufacturers to ensure low inclusion levels during production, preventing issues like nozzle clogging in continuous casting processes.
The ARL iSpark 8860 is the first optical emission spectrometer capable of simultaneously providing full elemental coverage and detailed information on non- metallic inclusions in a single analysis. It identifies and quantifies inclusion features, such as type, number, size, concentration, and volume fraction, enabling real-time control over inclusion content in steel products. This, in turn, helps prevent costly production problems and ensures the mechanical properties of the final products meet the desired standards, reducing the risk of customer claims or product returns.
The ARL iSpark 8860 Inclusion Analyzer from is equipped to conduct advanced elemental analysis and provide comprehensive inclusion data for steel. It incorporates 1m vacuum Paschen-Runge optics featuring photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors and ensures full elemental coverage, encompassing even gas elements. This analyser delivers ultra-fast inclusion analysis and includes a suite of comprehensive inclusion analysis software tools such as Spark Explorer, Inclusions Report, and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Users have the flexibility to customise inclusion analysis methods and receive expert training from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Furthermore, the system can be easily automated using the ARL Sample Manipulation System (SMS), enhancing efficiency in steel manufacturing processes.
