Product Details:

The SCINCO''s TGA Series (Thermogravimetric Analyzer) measures mass changes as a function of temperature or time. The system allows for multiple heating, cooling, and isothermal segments to be linked together to achieve a complex profile. (Automatic gas switching is also supported during the temperature program.) The vertical hangdown design offers stable and smooth mass readings to be recorded during the experiment. The TGA''s small mass furnace responds quickly to changes in the temperature profile and cools down quickly for fast turn around between experiments. Typical analysis for the TGA includes percent mass loss, onset temperature calculations and residual mass. The TGA utilizes the advanced easy-to-use software. The acquisition program sets up the experiment and plots the real time data. The Analysis program performs all calculations and provides hard copy outputs.

LCTECH GERMANY
 

Product Description:

The GPC Quattro is designed for the clean-up of complex animal tissues, food products and environmental samples by separating high molecular weight matrixes such as lipids, carbohydrates, pigments, etc., from analytical samples. The system provides an excellent tool for analyzing polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), hydrocarbon pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), antibiotics, mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and ochratoxins, and other semivolatile compounds. The concentrated samples can be easily analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS). A typical application for the instrument is sample cleanup of fish prior to GC-MS detection of PCBs and pesticides.

The immunoaffinity column AflaCLEAN SMART is designed for sample clean-up for subsequent Aflatoxin analysis.

This columns is smaller than the other counterparts on the market – it uses only a fraction of the solvent and yet has 100ng loading capacity as specified by the AOAC methods.

During extraction, dilution, washing, sample loading and elution, more than 80% of the solvents can be saved.

The immunoaffinity column Ota CLEAN has been developed for the sample preparation within food analysis via either HPLC with fluorescence detection or LC-MS. The monoclonal antibody was especially designed for this field of application and thus guarantees best results, even with difficult matrices and also with feed samples.

The Ota CLEAN columns are available in the practical 3 mL polypropylene format, showing significant handling advantages compared to columns with a smaller inner diameter, e. g. accelerated run-through, reduce matrix-dependent clogging due to greater surfaces.

LCTech presents its Dioxin system DEXTech™.After the sample injection the DEXTech™ handles the separation and fractionation of dioxins and PCBs from the matrix in a multi-stage process automatically.

 In order to make the sample preparation for the Dioxin analysis easier and to reduce the processing time significantly, the LCTech GmbH, specialist for automated sample preparation, developed the automated Dioxin system DEXTech™ in cooperation with the CVUA Münster / Germany. Due to the high level of automation the system reduces the processing time to 96 minutes only. Depending on the matrix up to 5 g fat can be applied onto the columns.

The small footprint of the stand-alone device enables the parallel use of several systems side by side. This also leads to an immense increase of the throughput and additionally provides the opportunity to handle each method independently at any time

Product Details:

Rheology is the study of the effects experimented in a substance when a mechanical force is applied on a it (flow and deformation) under different external conditions. It is used to describe the consistency of different products and is normally defined by the components: viscosity and elasticity. Measuring viscosity is determined by the tangible force required to displace the materials particles with a specific deformation-flow i.e. velocity. The relationship between the tangible force and the deformation flow obtains the viscosity result. Ambient conditions such as temperature and pressure also have an effect on viscosity. The measurement of viscosity is not just limited to the research laboratory, it has progressively entered the field of industrial quality control.
