Miniature 60 kV, 1000 µA 12W X-ray Source MAGPRO miniature x-ray source which is capable of up to 60 kV 200 µA and down to 4 kV and 1000 µA, and limited to an output power of 12 Watts. The 12W source is meant for use in small bench top systems where small size is valued. Download the PDF Digestion of Pharmaceutical Samples Using the Milestone Ethos UP This paper describes USP chapters, <232> and <233> for the determination of inorganic contaminants in pharmaceuticals and how Milestone’s Ethos UP offers significant benefits over traditional microwave digestion for pharmaceutical samples. 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 PP-TOFMS Depth Profiling of ZnO Thin Layers Co-Doped with Rare Earths for Photonic Materials This app note reports on an example of depth analysis by plasma profiling time of flight mass spectrometry of rare earth doped materials: co-doped Eu and Tb ZnO thin layers developed for making white LEDs. Download the PDF At-Line Micronutrient Analysis Using ED-XRF Spectroscopy Elemental analysis of materials at line is improving product quality, consistency, and maximizing throughput versus traditional lab-based QC methods. Learn analytical results from new generation of rugged, portable, lab-quality XRF spectrometers. Download the PDF A Comparative Study of Groundwater EPA 245.7 VS ISO 17852 This application is a comparative study of Groundwater, ERM-CA615, EPA Method 245.7 and ISO Method 17852 using a mercury analyzer. Contamination, interferences and sample preparation are a few of the major obstacles that can arise when monitoring mercury at this level. Mercury is prevalent through point source contamination that often comes from industry and bio-accumulation. Download the PDF WDXRF App Note: Lubrication Oil Analysis by ASTM D6443-04 ASTM D6443-04 specifies the use of the wavelength-dispersive (WD) XRF technique, because it offers sufficiently high precision, resolution, and light-element sensitivity. Calibrations and repeatability were demonstrated using the new Supermini200 benchtop WDXRF spectrometer. Download the PDF Contaminant Analysis in the Food Manufacturing Process by EDXRF and FT-IR Using EDX and FT-IR techniques in conjunction with one another permits a more detailed elucidation of contaminant characteristics, thereby enhancing the validity of the respective results. This note presents an example of the analysis of various types of foreign matter entered during the food manufacturing process. Download the PDF Performance of a “Souped Up” ICP Strategic modifications were made to the sample introduction system of an ICP optical spectrometer in order to improve precision, reduce drift and carryover, lower detection limits, and speed analysis. Download the PDF PFA Cyclonic Spray Chamber for ICP-OES and ICP-MS An inert cyclonic spray chamber manufactured from molded PFA for use in ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments offers several design benefits, including enhanced sensitivity, improved draining, and increased wettability with an optional surface treatment.
