Choosing the right digestion configuration is a key step in maximizing investment and expanding your lab’s capabilities. During this presentation, we’ll review the differences between single reaction chamber (SRC) and rotor-based microwave solutions and explain how these differences impact your lab’s throughput. The Milestone ultraWAVE’s lack of vessel assembly/disassembly, disposable glass vials, ability to perform mixed-batch digestions and higher temperature and pressure capabilities allow the system to digest difficult matrices in minimal time, all while reducing labor and consumable costs. For labs interested in a rotor-based approach to digestion, the ETHOS UP with all-new MAXI-24 High Performance rotor can process large volumes of challenging samples in a single rotor-based platform. The MAXI-24 HP rotor rounds out Milestone’s rotor-based microwave solutions for acid digestion.

The rapid and accurate analysis of raw materials is critical to production efforts. Even small delays in the delivery of product ingredients can lead to significant production delays and cost overruns. Additionally, inaccuracies in validating product materials can lead to product quality issues that need to be prevented at almost any cost. IR and Raman spectroscopies have been found to provide accurate and facile identification and verification of raw materials. A portable Raman device is ideal for raw material ID and verification, as the analysis can be readily conducted through polymer bags. For occasions where the identification of unknowns is required a lab-based system with high performance is best. Due to regulatory requirements, all analyses need to be fully compliant with GLP, USP, and 20 CFR p.11 requirements. The requirements and compliance qualifications of the Bravo (Bruker Scientific, LLC) handheld Raman instrument will be presented for the analysis of raw material ID. The Alpha II (also Bruker Scientific, LLC) will also be presented for the mobile and lab-based analysis of unknown compounds. A hands-on demonstration will be conducted on relevant nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products.

Many industries utilize or produce an excess amount of nitrogen-containing compounds, and must carefully monitor their effluent for such compounds to abide by regulatory standards. Therefore, accurate, high-throughput measurement remains critically important for environmentally conscious and ethical business practice. As the pioneers behind distillation-free Available and Total Cyanide testing methods, the experts at OI Analytical will discuss the various applications, methods, as well as the significance of automated chemistry analysis for ammonia and cyanide in the 21st Century.

At Inorganic Ventures, we are excited to announce the development of a completely new product line: Primary Certified Reference Materials (PCRM™). What are Primary Certified Reference Materials and how do they differ from the Certified Reference Materials (CRM) that are currently available from Inorganic Ventures? We created the PCRM™ product line because for certain elements, like osmium (Os), iridium (Ir) and ruthenium (Ru), there are no Standard Reference Materials available from our National Metrology Institute (NMI), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or any other NMI. We sought to forge a path of traceability to the International System of Units (SI) with our new Os and Ir PCRMs™ by tracing the mass fraction of the elements in their salts, directly to the kilogram base unit of the SI. Learn about the importance of these new PCRMs, and a method that was developed to achieve improved ICP-OES precision, thereby lowering the expanded uncertainty for the PCRM™.

Unknown compound analysis is an important part of science that has been around for many years. To identify a compound, we can use many different tools. Some of these key tools includes GC/MS. The process of unknown compound identification (ID) can be a grueling process and retention index (RI) has been shown to provide valuable additional and oftentimes the much-needed orthogonal information. Unfortunately, accurate RI calibration in practice usually requires multiple steps, such as separate external standard (e.g., alkane series) injection and repeated injection whenever the temperature programming changes. To make matters worse, most software tools that come with commercial GC/MS systems are either tedious to use or involve manual steps. In this show-and-tell demo, we will demonstrate an easy and seamless way for GC/MS unknown compound ID by combining spectral library search with automated retention index generation (AutoRI). This could even be accomplished without the need for a separate set of RI calibration standards or a separate injection step. By validating the library search via both forward and reverse search and then eliminating incorrect matches using a graphical RI trend model, we can generate the RI values for all GC peaks in a run automatically with high confidence, as long as there are enough number of compounds that could be confidently identified from the sample run itself. We will show how Auto RI compared to conventional RI using numerous examples, e.g., extractables and leachables (E&L) analysis, flavor and fragrances, and natural products including essential oils

GC-MS data are information rich. As a result, analysis can be time-consuming, especially if you are examining complex analytes. Find out how Wiley’s new KnowItAll MS Expert can save time by combining fast, flexible deconvolution with reference database search into a single, automated workflow to identify components. During this session, discover with the help of live examples:
– How the system quickly deconvolutes the GC-MS data file and automatically presents search results for each extracted component at once, so you do not need to manually search each component individually against the reference database.
– How some coeluted components can be separated by KnowItAll mixture analysis.
– How unidentified components can then be sent through KnowItAll’s workflow to the patent-pending MS Adaptive Search for further analysis to deduce structural components.

Isotopes and isotope abundances or distributions are important parts of the physical-chemical world we operate in and their discoveries over 100 years ago laid the foundation for modern chemistry and the general understanding of science at large. For those who graduated from university with a science degree, however, very few have had the chance to directly observe and interactively learn about isotopes or their relative abundances, either at the elemental or molecular level. While Mass Spectrometry (MS) provides a direct way to observe isotopes and their abundances, conventional and more affordable bench top MS systems such as a single quadrupole GC/MS or LC/MS typically have neither the resolution nor the accuracy to provide definitive information about the various isotopes observed and the possible elemental compositions. A novel MS calibration approach implemented in MassWorks software, however, has enabled these MS systems in determining elemental composition, without requiring the most expensive MS systems. In this presentation, we will present our latest work in adapting this same software tool for undergraduate teaching. Using the concept of mass spectral accuracy, we will demonstrate through numerous GC/MS or LC/MS examples how spectral accuracy would vary in real time and interactively when various and different elemental compositions are considered and evaluated, illustrating the contributions from 13C, 33S, 34S, 15N and the interplays among these elements.

It’s the sample that picks the accessory. Several questions that come up when picking an accessory. Do you need to ID the sample? Is my final product what I made? There is a spot on my film what is it? There are several ways to achieve good IR spectra, it depends on what type of data do you need?
The presentation will work thru several examples and bring to light what is the best accessory for your experiment. Examples will be presented for Transmission, ATR, Diffuse Reflectance, Specular Reflectance and research accessories.
