Speed is knowledge
T
he Dani Master TOF MS Plus has been designed for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry applications, bringing to the analyst capabilities currently unachievable with quadrupole technology. High sensitivity over the entire mass range, for every single spectrum, for hundreds of spectra per second brings an entirely new dimension of information to the analytical process. Fast acquisition speed allows the generation of high-density data point chromatograms and plenty of spectral information to play with. Dani Master TOF MS Plus generates high quality spectra,
with no discrimination between low and high masses and a reliable library search process. It’s ’best in class’ dynamic range in the chromatographic and in the spectral domain results in quantification with speed, accuracy, and repeatability. It is all about qualitative and quantitative fidelity fuelled by fast acquisition speed. Dani Master TOF MS Plus protects your investment providing both target and non-target analysis information, in some cases projecting the analytical workflow ahead of the regulations, while at the same time allowing retrospective investigations.
Slow suction, quick delivery Microtrac process Pioneering optical design control particle analyser he LC-4000 series is the Adopting designs from some of latest in a long history of T debuts at Phosphates 2016 their more powerful spectrometers innovative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems developed by Jasco reaching all the way back to the start of commercial HPLC in the early 1970s.
Advances in solvent delivery For over two decades Jasco analytical HPLC pumps have employed an asymmetric twin-piston solvent delivery system slow suction, quick delivery (SSQD) which provides significantly better flow and pressure profiles than the commonly used conventional twin-piston reciprocating design. In the LC-4000 series, SSQD has been redeveloped, with a completely new solvent delivery mechanism known as extremely reliable flow technology offering the highest stability in solvent delivery across the entire analytical flow rate range.
Jasco has developed a range of HPLC optical detectors with unrivalled performance, like the new class leading FP-4020 fluorescence detector with S/N of over 2300:1, the latest high-speed refractive index detector with micro cell optimised for RHPLC and UHPLC and a completely revised circular dichroism detector for chiral chromatography.
New technologies for method development With the range of column technologies becoming ever more diverse - the traditional 5um fully porous particle is finally losing ground to some of the newer technologies such as the new superficially porous solid core (Coreshell) and the wide variety of sub-2um particles, the requirements for method development are becoming more demanding. The LC-4000 series has a number of newly developed accessories to help you make better separations faster, with accessories such as, flexible and stackable column ovens in a range of sizes to accommodate analytical to preparative columns and multiple columns at every scale and with options for integrated six or 10 solvent and column selection valves.
Sort of… All Microtrac process control particle analysers are custom built specifically for the production environment they are being installed in. Each system includes a mainframe particle size and shape analyser and a tailored sample extraction system. Because of the custom nature of the solutions, it makes it very difficult for to conduct live demos of the system at various industry conferences.
Until now… Making its debut at Phosphates 2016, is Microtrac’s demo process control particle analyser, the PartAn3D PRO which is ideal for measuring granular material from 15 microns to 35 millimeters and enables users to identify in real-time when their process begins to swing.
With fertiliser being one of the strongest applications, Phosphates 2016 is the perfect platform for debuting our demo system because the event brings together producers from all over the world to network and learn about the latest technological advances. This year’s conference was held at the Marriot Rive Gauche, in Paris, France from March 13-15. What sets the PartAn3D PRO apart from other process control analysers is the patented 3D measurement (length, width, and thickness), which delivers superior accuracy compared to one and two-dimensional measurements. By utilising a high-speed, highresolution camera and proprietary software that tracks each particle from multiple orientations, the PartAn3D PRO measures 36 size and morphological parameters of your material, delivering unsurpassed analysis capability. Rather than manually extracting a sample, transporting the material to a lab for analysis, and waiting hours or even days for the results, the PartAn3D PRO improves efficiency by automatically performing the grunt work and measurement. The real value of an online measurement enables users to identify variations in their process and take immediate corrective action. This proactive approach improves yields, decreases wasted material, and creates higher quality products, which can lead to significant financial gains for the organisation.
