Online and Portable Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometers at Pittcon 2010

SAN CARLOS, Calif.–Active Spectrum, Inc. released details of its latest Micro-ESR™ series of online and portable electron spin resonance spectrometers at Pittcon, in Orlando Florida. The new Micro-ESR spectrometer features improved sensitivity and an optional integrated touchscreen display www.activespectrum.com. The Micro-ESR™ was featured under the theme “Miniature Spectrometers come of Age,” which highlighted the rapid development of new analytical technology for laboratory users and process applications. “The Micro-ESR™ spectrometer means electron spin resonance is now a technique available to chemists who aren’t specialists in ESR,” according to Christopher White, PhD, Vice President of Active Spectrum, Inc. “You no longer need to have access to a central lab in a university to use this technique. ESR spectroscopy is the only direct method to measure free radicals, and the Micro-ESR™ means every chemist can add ESR spectroscopy to the tools on the bench, at dramatically lower cost than before.” The talk also discussed process applications of the online Micro-ESR™ sensor in real-time monitoring of free radicals, primarily in petroleum and related industries.
