AA Delivers Powerful, High-Sensitivity Flame/Furnace Analysis
With superior stability and a newly developed 3D optical system, Shimadzu’s AA-7000 delivers superb analysis performance in all fields. Ensuring unprecedented sensitivity and world-class lower limits of detection, the AA-7000 features: newly developed 3D optical system, automatic flame/furnace switching in the same compartment, dual-background correction functions, advanced safety technology, and a single autosampler for flame/furnace analysis. www.ssi.shimadzu.com/7000
FOCUS ON QUALITY
Where Are We Now with USP <1058>?
It is just over two years since USP <1058> on Analytical Instrument Qualification (AIQ)
became effective. The author presents his views in conjunction with a roundtable discussion on the subject, to be held at AAPS 2010.

A Quantitative Analysis of Neodymium and Samarium at Low Pressure by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
The authors focus on stabilizing a plasma sphere to enhance the accuracy of LIBS, and
determine an optimum measuring position of a plasma sphere based upon the quantitative analysis of ordinary metals.

Changing Everything You Know About Liquids Analysis by FTIR
ON DEMAND WEBCAST
Low level components or impurities in liquid samples are typically not amenable to analysis by attenuated total reflectance (ATR) methods due to pathlength constraints, and thus analysts turn to classical transmission measurements for these types of samples. Yet, ATR is far easier to use than the cumbersome transmission cells. New advances in the analysis of liquids by FTIR spectroscopy can provide a far broader range of quantitative capability for liquid samples, while retaining the ease of use and speed of analysis afforded by ATR. http://spectroscopyonline.com/changing
