Witness multiple scenarios in elemental analysis laboratories that provide quantitative evidence on how decisions related to sample preparation workflows can affect a lab’s performance.

Discover practical ways to prevent contamination during sample preparation for trace elemental analysis, including sampling practices, in-house acid purification, and automated reagent addition. Benefits include lower detection limits, reduced reagent costs, and a safer working environment.

Using acid baths and microwave systems for cleaning labware can have a substantial impact on an elemental analysis lab’s throughput, workflow, and efficiency. Learn how automating this step using acid-steam cleaning keeps your microwave system focused on digesting samples and removes the tedium and hazards of hand-cleaning labware.

In this video interview, Erica Cahoon, PerkinElmer’s Atomic Spectroscopy Portfolio Director, provides an introduction to the new NexION® 1100 ICP-MS, specifically designed for laboratories looking for a reliable, yet easy-to-use solution for everyday trace-elemental analyses applications.

AgSource analyzes from 2,000 to 6,000 samples in a day, depending on the time of the year. Accuracy is critical for AgSource. Time and time again, they want to be as accurate as possible and be able to reproduce that accuracy with those same samples that come in over time.

Product origin and production claims, like sustainable and ethical sourcing, are vital information for consumers. It’s not just the product that matters anymore but also the promise. These promises are becoming as important, in some situations, more important than price and other product features.

Dr. David Creasey (CEO, Wasatch Photonics) introduces their X series spectrometers for Raman spectroscopy, highlighting best use and applications.

Shimadzu’s AIRsight infrared Raman microscope delivers more accurate results and improves operational efficiency by enabling both infrared and Raman measurements from the same position without moving the sample. This combined system saves valuable bench space while providing for easier operation with software that easily switches between infrared and Raman measurements via the same window.

Introducing the BLADE Automated Microwave Digestion System for preparation of routine to extreme samples for elemental analysis. BLADE brings speed, simplicity, flexibility, and performance to help labs achieve better quality digests in a fraction of the time of other systems.

Applied Rigaku Technologies recently launched a new, second-generation NEX CG II EDXRF spectrometer. What makes NEX CG II unique is its advanced Cartesian Geometry optical kernel. We want to briefly discuss the advances in EDXRF technology, and then discuss what this brings to users specifically when they use NEX CG II, a multi-element, Cartesian Geometry indirect excitation EDXRF system. We will also want to talk about applications where NEX CG II excels and why Cartesian Geometry EDXRF is advantageous for their analytical needs.

Atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy may not be a new analytical technique, but that doesn’t mean it is any less important than other newer tools. Many analytical methods and regulations have "grown up” with AA spectrometry, and it remains a center point of sample analysis at many labs to this day.

Glenn Williams and Thanh Nguyen introduce the NANOHUNTER II Benchtop TXRF/GI-XRF analyzer for ultra-trace elemental analysis with minimal to no sample preparation. Ideal for applications spanning metallo-protein research to environmental assessment and thin-film metrology.
