Mi and Si “intelligent” atomic absorption (AA) spectrometers
The benefits of the new Mi and Si “intelligent” atomic absorption (AA) spectrometers for use in high-throughput elemental analysis laboratories are outlined in this 8-page brochure. It explains in detail the principles of operation and the unique capabilities of the instruments, which incorporate intelligent Spectrometer Qualification (iSQ) to automatically test and confirm the device’s hardware performance.

Spectral Libraries
This catalog provides quick access to large and comprehensive collections of FT-IR and Raman spectral libraries, including the most common chemicals found in the “Aldrich Handbook of Fine Chemicals” and the “Sigma Biochemical Condensed Phase Library.” Several industry- and application-specific compounds related to petroleum products, foods and fragrances, as well as forensics, are also included. Concurrent with the release of this catalog is a newly revised format for the ftirsearch.com and ramansearch.com websites, which offer instant, pay-as-you-go access to a searchable collection of more than 71,000 FT-IR and almost 16,000 Raman spectra.

Reference Guide: “Your Building Blocks for Success”
A newly updated reference guide, “Your Building Blocks for Success,” provides an overview of food-grade and NSF-certified chlor-alkali products — caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorate and spent sulfuric acid. It addresses the applications, production, distribution and transportation of these products. It also describes BayCare, a multiphase, comprehensive product stewardship program designed to reduce environmental impact, improve process safety and foster positive relationships with neighbors in plant communities.

Span Pac H2O-R moisture-standard generators
Span Pac H2O-R moisture-standard generators create known calibration standards for trace moisture in reactive gases, including chlorine and HCl. They employ the standard additions technique, in which a small flow of dry inert gas flows over a permeation tube to create a base moisture standard. Measured amounts of the base mixture are then added to a flow of the reactive gas to create the standard. Permeation tubes cover concentrations ranging from <10 ppb to >100 ppm. Multi-point calibrations over a 400:1 range are easily achieved at any concentration level. They can be used in moisture monitor calibration, moisture probe validation, filter capacity testing, and adsorption testing.
