Trajan Scientific and Medical Demo

Trajan Automation will present two automated systems for performing Liquid-Liquid extractions [LLE] on a micro scale. They can be applied as effective alternatives to the time-consuming manual processes which are resource intensive and impact laboratory productivity. Typically, manual testing requires many hours of prep time and uses large volumes of solvents. The miniaturization and automation of the process on the PAL platform greatly increases the number of samples which can be processed daily and significantly reduces the volume of costly solvents. It avoids the requirement for time-consuming dry-down steps.   The system first targets extraction from plasma for lipidomics and metabolomics. It processes microliter volumes of sample with different solvents, extraction is achieved using a combination of vortex mixing and centrifugation prior to aspiration of bi-layers for storage in cooled chamber ready for dry-down and analysis.   The second system targets the environmental market where testing is an essential service to ensure our food, water and soil are free from harmful substances. This approach uses a proprietary technology embedded in the system achieves effective concentration of PAHs PCBs and other hydrocarbon impurities using only 8mL of sample and only microliters of solvent. This compares to 800mL and 30mL volumes respectively for the manual technique. The PAL is mounted directly onto a GCMS system and extracted sample can be injected directly for analysis onto a standard GC inlet and also stored for later analysis if required.

Environmental Express Demo

Sample collection containers with an RFID tag embedded label with allow field sample collectors to input sample collection information on location through the use of a smart phone app. This allows labs to track any samples taken in the field through a date/time stamp and geolocation coordinates, which will vastly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the chain-of-custody process. Information will be recorded immediately and uploaded to a cloud-based database that can be accessed, in real-time, from anywhere.

RFID tags can be used for inventory control, tracking incoming product, and tracking and logging individual containers issued to field collectors. It can provide instantaneous return receipt of groups of filled containers instead of having to individually read each barcoded label.

Benchtop powder diffractometers are now being offered with many of the advanced features and options that were previously only found on much larger laboratory systems. A few examples of these advanced features include: I) Primary and diffracted X-ray beam optics which increase intensity and signal to noise, II) Novel non-ambient environmental chambers which allow for in-situ XRD data collection under varying temperature, pressure and humidity, III) Unique scanning geometries such as decoupled 2theta scans for glancing incidence diffraction measurements. All this and more will be covered in this unique and educational equipment demo.

Cerno Bioscience Demo

Library search using single quad GC/MS is a powerful tool for qualitative analysis thanks to the unique spectral fragmentation “fingerprints” provided by Electron Impact (EI) ionization and the high quality of commercial libraries such as those provided by NIST and others. However, library matches are not always definitive and unresolved chromatographic peaks, if not recognized as such, can lead to uncertain or ever incorrect results.

Library search using single quad GC/MS is a powerful tool for qualitative analysis thanks to the unique spectral fragmentation “fingerprints” provided by Electron Impact (EI) ionization and the high quality of commercial libraries such as those provided by NIST and others. However, library matches are not always definitive and unresolved chromatographic peaks, if not recognized as such, can lead to uncertain or ever incorrect results.

In this demo we will show how a new software product, MassWorks Rx GC/ID, can rapidly and automatically process and ID compounds with a dramatic improvement in confidence. The software first automatically identifies unresolved mixture peaks and mathematically resolves them into pure MS. All the compounds from the run are searched against the NIST library and then, using Cerno’s patented calibration technology, the accurate mass of the molecular ion is used to further validate the library match(s). Finally, the retention time index is calculated for each peak and compared against the NIST values to leverage an orthogonal confirmation of the match for unprecedented compound ID. The software interfaces with most commercial instruments and can run unattended to produce both interactive and PDF reports.
