Beta attenuation monitors (BAMs) are typically used in outdoor settings to quantify the amount of particulate matter in the air. The primary application is for air quality measurement. This applies to environmental monitoring carried out by government entities, as well as monitoring carried out by industrial facilities subject to air quality regulations. Although there are […]
Discrete analyzers are instruments that automate the colorometric/photometric analysis process from sample preparation to final analysis. The technology employs individual wells, enabling testing of each sample as well as automated sample preparation of new samples while analyses are being performed. Sample and reagent addition and mixing are also automated. Discrete analyzers offer several advantages compared […]
In a little more than a decade, triple quadrupole GC/MS has developed from a nascent area into a major segment of the GC/MS market. The inherent capabilities of the technique make it valuable in an increasing number of applications. The major application areas that triple quadrupole GC/MS serves are environmental, agriculture and food. Forensics and […]
Impact testing is used to measure the toughness of materials, particularly plastics and metals, as well as the toughness of coatings that may be applied to these substances. Other samples include composites, glasses, concrete, and other construction and manufacturing materials. Toughness in this context is a specific property of various materials and is defined based […]
Sample storage and management (SSM) systems provide storage and retrieval of compounds, biological samples or specimens used in a wide array of industries and applications from biotechnology, combinatorial chemistry, personalized medicine and biobanking. Typically, there are two types of SSM systems: smaller units, which are able to fit in most labs, and larger units, which […]
MALDI-TOF technology and instrumentation has grown to encompass quite a wide range of system configurations, capabilities and costs. At the top of this pyramid are MALDI-TOF/TOF systems, which offer fragmentation capabilities that are unique compared to other types of MALDI-TOF. The configuration of MALDI-TOF/TOF systems allows for ion fragmentation by collision induced dissociation (CID). Other […]
Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is an increasingly important variation on X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The primary advantage of SAXS is that it can be used to probe larger-scale structures than XRD. The general procedure in SAXS is quite similar to XRD. The sample is irradiated with X-rays, which produce a diffraction pattern as the […]
The traditional method for performing gel electrophoresis experiments requires several pieces of equipment, such as a power supply, a staining apparatus, a UV light source and a camera. However, integrated gel electrophoresis systems combine many of these accessories into one compact unit. These integrated systems accept pre-cast gels, which can be purchased from the system […]
Clinical analysis has become a major segment of the tandem quadrupole LC/MS, as known as triple quadrupole LC/MS, market. While the majority of demand is from clinical research applications, tandem quadrupole LC/MS for clinical diagnostic use is beginning to overcome some of the barriers to widespread adoption. Clinical research applications are defined as those tests […]
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a standard imaging technique used in medicine. Outside of the hospital, CT has also found a home in the lab, primarily in the form of systems designed to analyze much smaller samples. These microCT systems provide high-quality three-dimensional imaging of samples. The technique, for either large or small samples, involves […]
