ANALYSIS
an advanced particle analysis tool for the alpha300 microscope series leverages the fast, label- free and non-destructive chemical characterisation abilities of Raman imaging for use in one of the most rapidly-evolving fields in research: microparticles, including microplastics, which are of great and ever-increasing interest in environmental science, cosmetics, packaging technology, food science, geology and many other fields. With image stitching and focus stacking, an extensive range of sample and particle sizes can be imaged. The user determines which of the imaged particles meet the criteria for further investigation and a mask is then generated to guide the acquisition of their Raman spectra. The spectra identify the composition of the particles and a report is automatically generated that quantifies the different user-specified categories of particles in a histogram. ParticleScout also integrates
seamlessly with WITec’s TrueMatch Raman database management software for a streamlined analytical workflow that is said to be unique in the industry.
Spectrometry
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments released the UV-1900 UV-VIS spectrophotometer, which is said to incorporate technically advanced features that improve usability, regulatory compliance, and performance. It is designed for analysis in foods, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, chemistry, and electronics applications. Easy to operate using a high-
visibility colour touch panel that includes large, easy-to-see icons on a black background, navigation tabs make operation simple. When the system is in quantitation mode, the stages of the entire measurement process and the current status are shown on the display, allowing users to prepare for the next step. New to the UV-1900 are validation functions that are compliant with the US and European Pharmacopeia. It can also run checks for nine JIS items and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Operators can save checked conditions and results and easily refer to them as needed. Next-generation LabSolutions UV- Vis software has also been released
in conjunction with the UV-1900. The software features a simple design layout that enables even first-time users to perform operations easily. Numerous functions, including data transfer to spreadsheet software and batch text export of multiple data sets, significantly enhance the efficiency of routine analysis. Meanwhile, Bruker launched the
INVENIO-S FTIR system, an entry-level version of the INVENIO platform, replacing the very successful TENSOR FTIR series. It is a high-performance FTIR spectrometer focused on maximum productivity in advanced laboratory analysis and research. The permanently aligned RockSolid interferometer, CenterGlow IR source, temperature controlled DTGS, and the long-life diode laser, are said to ensure best performance, robustness and low running costs. Ametek Spectro Analytical Instruments introduced the Spectrogreen inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analyser, debuting its Dual Side-On Interface (DSOI) technology said to achieve twice the sensitivity of conventional radial-plasma-view instruments, at an affordable price/performance ratio. The DSOI technology uses a vertical plasma torch, observed via a new variety of direct radial-view technology. Two optical interfaces capture emitted light from both sides of the plasma, using only a single extra reflection. DSOI is said to provide twice the sensitivity of conventional radial systems, while avoiding the complexity, drawbacks, and cost of vertical dual view models. The analyser is said to deliver significant advantages in determining trace elements and handling samples with challenging matrices, including certain wastewaters, soils, and sludges, as well as samples containing industrial chemicals, high salts content and metals. It said to be ideal for routine analyses in environmental and agronomy applications, as well as consumer product safety, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foods.
