LNI Swissgas US LLC
Quiet and efficient nitrogen generation for your lab

Today’s analytical laboratories are noisy and getting noisier. Mechanical compressors and vacuum pumps are the chief culprits in the lab environment. Many labs have gone to many lengths and added expense to move these noisy systems out of their labs, when possible, but many labs just accept the fact that these systems are noisy and are not aware of alternatives. LNI Swissgas will demonstrate their state of the art and innovative approach to nitrogen generation that utilizes the latest gas compression technology that is quiet and efficient. These systems can operate in your lab space taking up little space while operating below 50 db.

MS Software to Learn Isotopes, Isotope Distribution, and Elemental Composition Determination

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 benchtop 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 to determine elemental composition without requiring the most expensive MS systems. This presentation 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.

Simultaneous Particle Size & Shape Analysis

Measurements of particle size typically assume that particles are spherical. however, in real life, particles are often not spherical. It helps a great deal to acquire particle size distribution and particle shape on liquid suspensions. This demonstration will include how to prepare samples for measurement, and how to optimize methods to capture data for particle suspensions in real time. Results will be generated using non-spherical particles to illustrate the power of simultaneous data acquisition.

Multi-Technique Chemical Quantification Analysis with KnowItAll Spectral Solutions

Chemical quantification analysis can be performed across multiple software packages, but mastering multiple software tools to the same level of expertise and reproducibility is a pain point for researchers. They may have to switch tools depending on the type of analytical technique or data format, thus impacting work efficiency. Therefore, it is desirable for one tool to handle all of it consistently.

KnowItAll 2024 introduces a comprehensive quantitation application for multiple analytical instrumental methods, including ATR-IR, IR, Raman, GC-MS, NMR, UV-Vis. Quantitation methods include external calibration, internal calibration, and standard addition analysis using data from all spectral formats supported by KnowItAll.
