Nickel assay by X-ray spectrography

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: XRF Scientific

A Thulium-based, higher precision X-ray analysis technique is suitable for assaying nickel in ore. Currently, production criteria is controlled using quantitative X-ray analysis with a chemical assay reference method (Wet Chemical DMG), which tests the ultimate purity of the nickel ore or concentrate. The current X-ray technique, however, has proven to have accuracy limitations resulting in the loss of potential revenue that can be realised from production. Moreover, the chemical DMG method is relatively expensive, complex and time consuming with the chemicals being dangerous to operators.


Handheld XRF

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Bruker Pty Ltd

The TracerturboSD handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument uses a silicon drift detector (SDD) for improved speed, sensitivity and resolution. Bruker’s XFlash SDD, previously available only in high-performance laboratory XRF instruments, now offers speed and analytical specificity when integrated into the handheld TracerturboSD.


Chemisorption analyser

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Particle & Surface Sciences Pty Ltd

The Micromeritics AutoChem 2920 automated catalyst characterisation system is a fully automated chemisorption analyser that enables a wide array of studies of chemical adsorption and temperature-programmed reactions. It can acquire information about the physical properties of the catalyst, catalyst support or other materials, and can determine catalytic properties such as percentage of metal dispersion, active metal surface area, acid strength, surface acidity, distribution of strength of active sites, BET surface area and more.


Pocket-sized magnetic resonance imaging

The FluoView FV1000MPE microphoton laser scanning microscope system offers bright clear imaging in living cells and deep within specimens.


CCD microscopy camera

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: SciTech Pty Ltd

The Lumenera InfinityX-32 pixel shifting camera has been specifically designed for users in the clinical, life and material science fields. This camera offers 32 megapixel resolution, high sensitivity, 12-bit data and low noise levels.


Liquid chromatography solvents

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Merck Pty Ltd

Reproducible HPLC separations require solvents to have a high degree of UV transmittance, low particle count, low acidity and alkalinity and a low level of evaporation residue. Merck’s LiChrosolv solvents meet these requirements; they are produced from specially selected raw materials and undergo a number of purification steps before final packaging.


Chiral HPLC/SFC columns

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Phenomenex Australia

The Lux line of polysaccharide-based columns is suitable for the identification and resolution of enantiomers. Lux columns are offered with two chiral stationary phases (CSPs), both of which use coated derivatised cellulose as the chiral selector. The two phases combine to create a dependable screening set with a wide range of selectivity. The Lux line is based on chiral technology that Phenomenex acquired along with the company Sepaserve.


Melamine food safety test method

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Bruker Pty Ltd

A 5-minute LC-MS/MS analysis method has been developed for the detection and quantification of melamine and cyanuric acid (CA) by food safety laboratories.


GC septa

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Merck

Supelco moulded Thermogreen LB-2 GC septa are available in two versions, without and with an injection hole.


Measuring sulfur-containing compounds

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Thermo Fisher Scientific

ESA Biosciences has developed a first stable, sensitive and robust analytical system that enables routine measurement of thiols, thioethers, disulfides and other sulfur-containing compounds.


Aerosol-based HPLC detector

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Grace Discovery Sciences

The Nano Quanty Analyte Detector (NQAD) is an aerosol-based HPLC detector which claims improved performance over other aerosol detectors.


Time-of-flight LC/MS

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd

The 6230 Accurate-Mass time-of-flight (TOF) LC/MS system can detect and identify compounds in amounts smaller than 2 pg, making it suitable for food safety, toxicology and other measurements where minute amounts of compounds must be identified.


Light-scattering protein analysis

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd

The DynaPro NanoStar from Wyatt Technology is a dynamic light-scattering instrument that is used for the analysis of protein solutions, promiscuous inhibitors, buffers or other products in solution.


Polar compound column

06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Waters Australia Pty Ltd

Waters has an addition to its line of XBridge analytical columns. The XBridge HILIC Columns provide improved retention of very polar compounds that are otherwise difficult to retain by traditional reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
