Unique choice of sampling attachments makes Mira Flex the most versatile handheld Raman system in the market S
mart Attachments set the Mira Flex handheld material identification system apart from the competition. Metrohm designs advanced tips that facilitate acquisitions and track sampling. Diverse attachments for Mira systems enable straightforward sampling of substances of virtually any kind; be they powders, liquids, or solids. Smart Attachments are just one step in Metrohm’s quest to provide broad access to advanced chemical analysis for everyone. The next step is Mira Flex, in response to customer requests for even greater flexibility with the Mira system. The new Mira Flex package from Metrohm Raman permits customisation of Mira for unique applications. Mira Flex is an 'à la carte' experience: The basic package includes a Mira device,
Concerned about the toxicity of an unknown? The Standoff Attachment enables safe sampling from a distance. Checking the formulation of a tablet is easy with the Tablet Holder. The Ball Probe Attachment allows sampling by direct contact e.g., in a barrel with no concern of proper focus. Whether you perform field testing of street drugs or evaluate incoming raw materials – Mira is the fast, easy, reliable, and flexible solution for identification and verification of materials.

Non-dispersive infrared spectrometer from Eralytics for FAME in jet fuel analysis
E
raJet FAME from Eralytics is a rugged and truly portable standalone NDIR spectrometer for the ultra-fast and easy determination of all types of FAME in jet fuel. The fully automated analyser easily determines FAME in jet fuel with lab-grade precision in excellent correlation to international IR (ASTM D7797, IP583) as well as GC (IP585, IP590) standards.
precision over a wide measurement range of 10 to 250mg/kg (ppm) for Avtur.
EraJet FAME is the most economical and efficient solution for high-speed FAME in jet fuel testing for many reasons:
• Ultra-fast and fully automated With an unrivalled measurement time of only 5 minutes EraJet FAME is the fastest FAME in jet fuel analyser on the market. With its easy-to-use interface and the fully automated measurement including the sample introduction, EraJet FAME is the perfect solution even for untrained operators. Cleaning and rinsing of the instrument is an easy task as no special solvent is required.
• Maximum precision With a repeatability of only r ≤ 4mg/kg and a reproducibility of R ≤ 6mg/kg EraJet FAME measures with lab-grade
• True portability The ultra-light and rugged metal housing with its small
footprint makes EraJet FAME equally suited for lab applications and field use. It is perfectly suited for a straightforward on-site operation even in remote locations with limited access to technical infrastructure – and this with lab-grade precision.
• 2-in-1: FAME in jet fuel and D4052 density Eralytics’ innovative temperaturecontrolled, high-precision density meter module DENS4052 EXT is now optionally available also for direct connection with EraJet FAME. With only 1.3 kg of weight, DENS4052 EXT is the lightest and smallest density meter on the market measuring in full compliance with ASTM D4052.

Analysis of hand sanitiser gel made easy with Metrohm NIR Systems

o sample preparation required, perfect ease of use, results for multiple parameters such as ethanol, water and glycerine are available after 30 seconds – these are the main advantages of near-infrared spectroscopy for routine analysis compared with competing analysis techniques. QC managers and shift personnel from the manufacturing industries can now benefit from these advantages with the new NIRS DS2500 Liquid Analyzer from Metrohm. Reproducible results down to the lower ppm-level The NIRS DS 2500 provides superior sensitivity for analysis down to

concentrations in the lower ppm-range. It covers both the near-infrared range and the visible range, which means that, unlike FT systems, the NIRS DS2500 Liquid Analyzer can also detect colour changes of the sample, e.g., caused by ageing. Robust design for operation in production environments The DS2500 with its IP65 certified housing and only one rotating optical element is a highly robust solution providing excellent protection against environmental influences even in high vibration environments. The rotating high-precision grating used to disperse light guarantees fast data acquisition so that results are obtained within 30 seconds.
Superior flexibility due to many accessories With the DS2500 Liquid Analyzer, users can choose from a variety of cuvettes, flow cells and disposable vials, giving them the flexibility to adapt to the respective sample. Intelligent sample holders in combination with SOPs help prevent errors in routine operation that could otherwise result from accidentally selecting the wrong sample containers.
