Metrohm Raman: Overlay of the spectra of selected polymer samples. Raman spectroscopy identifies the polymers such as ABS, PE, PS, PET and PMMA in various dyes. Rapid and non-destructive determination takes place after a suitable spectrum database has been created. Measurements with the Raman spectrometer Mira require no sample preparation...Read More
Expanded Polystyrene is a lightweight, rigid, plastic foam insulation or packing material. For the final product properties (e.g. density) it is important to have a profound knowledge of the particle size distribution. The CAMSIZER P4 can deliver reliable information on particle size and shape. Expanded Polystyrene The basic material for...Read More
Easy moisture analysis in crude, oils and difficult sample matrices. No one wants water in their oil, fuel or industrial process streams. At low moisture levels, parts per million, where detection limits and accuracy are critical, Coulometric Karl Fischer provides accuracy and repeatability. Oils and Karl Fischer Unfortunately, many of...Read More
Minimise downtime by monitoring corrosion inhibitors on-line. Copper is widely used for piping in industrial cooling water systems due to its heat transfer properties. Unfortunately, it is highly susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion can cause a loss of efficiency and eventually a failure of equipment leading to costly maintenance, replacement and...Read More
Monitoring flow accelerated corrosion and metal transportation in power plants: Online ultratrace measurements of Fe and Cu In power plants, corrosion is the primary factor leading to costly and critical downtimes. The water-steam circuits in fossil and nuclear power plants are inherently prone to corrosion, as metal components are constantly...Read More

Cooking tasting a little off? Your oil may be the cause. From the obvious uses in frying food, to the small amounts added in baking recipes, oils are important to our diet and provide the basis for cooking in a range of cuisines. Rancid oil? One thing we don’t want...Read More
Longer shelf life, yes please! At what cost? Processed foods contain a range of chemicals to improve the look, texture, taste and shelf life of the products. Polyphosphates, or phosphate salts, stabilize the pH of foods and prolong shelf life. Polyphosphates are also important for treatment of ground water. While...Read More
Total N, P and Oxyhalides: One system, all of the parameters Ion chromatography is the chosen technique for oxy-halide analysis and, with persulfate digestion, quantification of total nitrogen and phosphorus is now simpler with ion chromatography too. While both of these applications are ideal for environmental laboratories, they have required...Read More
Accuracy is only a heartbeat away High precision instrumentation is used to improve repeatability and achieve lower detection limits. Ion chromatography certainly falls into this category with some applications achieving detection limits down to 1 ppt. Liquid and sample handling While instruments may be capable of these low detection limits,...Read More
Care for your instrument, it will love you for it! Like your car, complex laboratory instruments require maintenance. Unlike cars, laboratory instruments cannot run at “near optimal” performance. While your car will keep running if you don’t top up the windscreen washer fluid, an IC will not give the correct...Read More
