Microwave Digestion of Pharmaceutical Samples for USP <232>/<233> Single reaction chamber (SRC) microwave digestion offers significant benefits over traditional microwave digestion for pharmaceutical samples: higher sample throughput, reduced labor and consumables costs, simplified workflow, and superior digestion quality. Download the PDF Applications in Gemology Using the ChemReveal™ LIBS Desktop System In gemology the TSI ChemReveal LIBS Desktop Analyzer has been used to aid gemologists in gemstone classification. This paper highlights study results of this instrument in some of those applications. Download the PDF Analysis of Micronutrients in Milk by Flame Atomic Absorption Using FAST Flame Sample Automation for Increased Sample Throughput Analysis of micronutrients in food continues to be an important facet in the monitoring of food quality. For food producers, internal quality control, and the possibility of external monitoring provide strong incentive for the ability to quickly, accurately, and easily monitor micronutrients in their products. In this work, we demonstrate the ability of PerkinElmer’s PinAAcle™ 900 atomic absorption spectrometer (operating in flame mode) coupled to a FAST Flame sample automation accessory to analyze common nutritional elements in a variety of milks. Download the PDF Achieving High Accuracy by ICP-OES An ICP optical spectrometer suffers from many challenges when faced with high salt samples. This work describes the selection of the best components and accessories for this application. Download the PDF EDXRF APPNOTE: Analysis and Measurement of Sulfur, Vanadium, and Nickel in Crude Oil Sulfur, vanadium, and nickel occur naturally in crude oil. Rigaku Application Note # 1521 describes the analysis of these elements in crude oil by EDXRF. The method is provides a quick and easy means of characterizing the quality of crude before refining. Download the PDF At-Line Micronutrient Analysis Using ED-XRF Spectroscopy The ability to conduct elemental analyses of materials at the production line is improving product quality and consistency while maximizing throughput. This is especially true in micronutrient analysis where traditional lab-based QC methods add costs and delays to processes already operating with thin margins. This paper explains how a new generation of portable lab-quality spectrometers designed to operate in a production environment is changing work processes. Download the PDF
