ICP-AES method development HORIBA Scientific's CLIP (collection of line intensity profiles) is designed to assist analysts in the development of methods
for high-resolution sequential ICP–atomic emission spectroscopy. According to the company, the profile of each line is calculated
according to the instrument's configuration, including focal length, slit combination, diffraction grating, and order used.
The product is available as an upgrade module for the company's ULTIMA instrument. HORIBA Scientific, Edison, NJ; http://www.horiba.com/scientific/
Fluorescence lifetime system The TemPro fluorescence lifetime system from HORIBA Scientific uses time-correlated single photon counting for fluorescence
measurements. The desktop instrument reportedly is capable of measuring lifetimes ranging from picoseconds to seconds. The
instrument includes interchangeable pulsed laser diode and LED light sources that cover discrete emission wavelengths from
255 nm to near IR. Options include light sources, polarizers, and detection out to 850 nm. HORIBA Scientific, Edison, NJ; http://www.horiba.com/scientific/
Raman microscope HORIBA Scientific's XploRA Raman microscope is designed to combine microscopy and chemical analysis for use in R&D, QA/QC,
and forensic laboratories. According to the company, the instrument performs nondestructive analysis at atmospheric conditions
with no sample preparation. Software modules include a Guided Operation wizard. HORIBA Scientific, Edison, NJ; http://www.horiba.com/scientific/
