Lab Forms 2.5 is a suite of gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC/MS) software designed for applications in environmental, clinical research and forensic toxicology, food safety, and general QA/QC laboratories. The suite includes three analysis and reporting software components. QuanLab Forms enables users to perform high-throughput quantitative and semi-quantitative GC/MS experiments. EnviroLab Forms assists environmental laboratories in balancing high productivity and throughput with strict quality-control standards.

ESS, maker of crisis management and environmental, health and safety (EH&S) software, has entered into a strategic alliance with Atrion International, a provider of product compliance solutions. Their partnership will address product and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) compliance goals in a more comprehensive and cost-efficient manner than either firm could accomplish on its own.

Essential Suite 7.1 is scalable from plant-level to global deployments and includes a comprehensive, fully integrated set of environment, health and safety (EH&S) and crisis-management modules. It leverages critical data, information and best practices from a common database across business enterprises, focusing on five urgent business concerns: greenhouse gases and global climate change, worker health and safety, environmental compliance, emergency planning and response, and corporate social responsibility reporting.

Essential Performance Manager enables organizations to measure and communicate about how their environmental, health and safety (EH&S) and crisis management programs are operating so decision-makers can manage the business more effectively. The software provides an intuitive and flexible data-collection framework with powerful reporting and analytic tools for tracking key performance indicators, incident data and other metrics in order to drive process improvements.

To ensure the efficient delivery of potable water and the safe disposal of wastewater, municipal water systems have to be monitored and controlled around the clock. The Municipal Water Package allows municipalities to use this operational data to reduce energy and chemical costs. Based on the Proficy products, the package includes HMI/SCADA-iFIX, which provides process visualization, data acquisition and supervisory control.

Deltaflow switchover valves allow customers to use dual relief devices to eliminate process shutdowns. In this way, if a disk on one side of the valve breaks, a reserve disk can be placed into service immediately by actuating the valve. The ruptured disk can then be replaced without shutting down the system.

Series 204 and 304 solenoid valves are now available with a NEMA 4X integrated coil that has a rotating conduit hub to permit easy installation. The valves include interchangeable AC and DC coils and a tab coil that facilitates flexible production. Both series of valves are available as normally closed or normally open. Orifice sizes range from 1/32 in. to 5/32 in. and the valves have 1/8-in. NPT connections.

Designed for leakproof reliability and precision flow control in liquids or gases, O-Seal valves are rated to 6,000 psi and will function from –20°F to 225°F, depending on the seal material selected. The valves are available in pipe sizes from 1/8 in. to 2 in., and tube sizes from 1/4 in. to 2 in. A complete interchangeable valve cartridge with a removable seat enables users to change from any of the four basic O-Seal cartridge designs at will, without compromise to leakproof reliability. At the same time, low-torque operation is always easy enough for hand control.

AdvantaFlex biopharmaceutical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), previously available only as tubing, is now used to make molded Tri-Clamp fittings, BioClosure container sealing systems, and connections such as Ys, Ts, crosses, and reducers. This allows molded manifold assemblies to be manufactured from TPE, as an alternative to silicone, and allows an entire assembly to be manufactured from a single resin, which reduces the potential for installation errors. The use of molded connections eliminates the need for barbed fittings (and their potential for leakage and contamination).

Seven solutions for hose identification, including imprinted, laser-etched, electronically tagged and color-coded, are available from this firm. These hoseidentification methods are designed for tubing and hose manufactured from silicone and for rubber-covered or overbraided hoses of various materials. They may be used separately or in combination with each other when applications call for multi-level identification.
