Optical filters Optical filters from Semrock, part of IDEX Health & Science, are available for fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, and laser
systems. StopLine ion-beam sputtered notch filters reportedly have deep laser-line blocking and UV to near-IR passbands in
six wavelengths from 405 nm to 808 nm. According to the company, notch filters block laser lines and transmit adjacent wavelengths
and provide long lifetimes. IDEX Health & Science, Oak Harbor, WA; http://www.semrock.com/
GC–MS system LECO's TruTOF HT GC–MS system is designed to provide continuous full-range mass acquisition rates as high as 80 spectra/s.
According to the company, the instrument also provides fully integrated EPA reporting functionality. Electron and chemical
ionization sources are available. LECO, St. Joseph, MI; http://www.leco.com/
FT-IR system The IRAffinity-1 FT-IR system from Shimadzu is designed for high-precision infrared analysis to confirm, identify, and detect
foreign matter in various application areas. According to the company, the compact system features long-term stability, protection
from humidity, increased reliability, and analysis support systems. Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, MD; http://www.ssi.shimadzu.com/
Simultaneous ICP system Shimadzu's ICPE-9000 system is designed to provide long-term stability and precise high-speed, high-resolution ICP analyses.
The instrument includes a large-scale CCD detector and an echelle spectrometer, a vacuum spectrometer, and a vertical minitorch.
The instrument's software features assistant functions for simple and accurate measurements. Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, MD; http://www.ssi.shimadzu.com/
Automated purge-and-trap sampler The JTD-505III automated purge-and-trap sampler from DyChrom incorporates Curie point heating and includes large-capacity
quartz sample tubes. The sampler reportedly can be used with samples ranging from low-boiling VOCs to high-boiling components.
As many as 15 sample tubes can be loaded onto the system's auto-sampler rack. Samples can be processed in any order. According
to the company, the sampler can be installed on all commercial gas chromatographs. DyChrom, Sunnyvale, CA; http://www.dychrom.com/
