A single analyser for liquid, gaseous, solid and LPG samples The new multi EA® 5100 provides an all-round solution for the determination of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine, but this is only a small part of what it can do. TOC, EOX or AOX/TOX analyses are further areas easily covered and its supremely flexibility means it can handle solids, liquids, pastes and gases. The new EA 5100 has a whole host of new improvements over the very successful and popular EA 5000. Here are some of the new developments Unique double furnace technology is now standard to ensure optimum results…
The multi EA® 5000 is extremely versatile: The determination of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine is only a small part of what it can do. TOC, EOX or AOX/TOX analyses are further areas easily covered by the multi EA® 5000. This makes it a universal talent to be used in various fields. • Application diversity – one analyzer for solid, paste-like, fluid, gaseous and LPG samples • C, N, S and Cl determination in one instrument • Multi-matrix sampler, for fully-automated determination of solid and fluid samples in vertical or horizontal furnace configuration • • Extended measuring range with low…
Based on first principle of photo-sedimentation, the Brookhaven Instrument disc centrifuge instruments are the only optical disc centrifuge that measures particle size without calibration. The DCP has a traditional light source and the XDC use X-rays. These instruments measure the size of particles according to the time the particle takes to sediment in the detector according to Stokes Law. High resolution measurements are typically obtained in 5 to 30 minutes. Modelling software is included to predict optimal experimental conditions like disc speed and run time. The high resolution instrument can resolve peaks as close as a 13% size differential and…
Flame Photometry is the technique of choice for the measurement of sodium, potassium and calcium in all sample types for: • mineral extraction• oil industry• paper industry• pharmaceuticals• soil analysis• utilities• food and beverage• chemical manufacture• fertilisers Sherwood Scientific’s Model 410 Industrial Flame Photometer with digital output (for printer or PC connection), also offers sodium linearization capability to allow higher concentrations of Sodium (<40 ppm) to be directly measured using a single point calibration. This facility can be switched on or off according to the operator’s preference or protocol for sodium determinations. The Model 410 also has sodium, potassium and…
Sherwood Scientific have developed and manufactured a range of two general purpose Fluid Bed Dryers (FBDs): one analogue and one with digital controls of airspeed, temperature and time. In addition, Sherwood Scientific have also developed a programmable FDB where drying programmes can be created and stored on computers. BenefitsThe laboratory fluid bed dryer offers significant advantages over conventional drying techniques: • The high rates of heat and mass transfer ensure much faster and more homogeneous drying than other methods such as oven and vacuum drying.• Drying times range from a few seconds to minutes. Complete drying is usually achieved in…
Thermal analysis is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to measure properties such as polymorphism, excipient compatibility, purity, melting points and humidity studies.
The crystal systems of pharmaceuticals and foods may change due to factors such as temperature and humidity. The climate of Japan in particular exhibits extreme changes in temperature and humidity, with hot and humid summers, and dry, low-temperature winters, and these are poor conditions as an environment for synthesizing pharmaceuticals or storing foods. Therefore, there is a need to conduct measurement beforehand under various atmospheric conditions, and determine what sort of changes these materials undergo in the actual environment. Thus we evaluated thermal changes and changes in the crystal structure of pharmaceuticals by simultaneously measuring X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential…
In the tableting process for pharmaceuticals, it sometimes happens that the active pharmaceutical ingredient reacts with materials used as excipients, such as sugar or starch, and dehydration reactions, polymorph transitions and other processes may occur due to the pressure during tableting. In recent years, a need has arisen to check, in the shortest possible time, whether or not the active pharmaceutical ingredient maintains its original crystal system, and whether or not there are polymorph impurities. Furthermore, this must be done in the tableting process, while maintaining the tablet form. Therefore, we used a powder X-ray diffractometer to non-destructively measure the…
Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil that is commonly used as main component or supplement in food, such as frying oil, salad dressing, baby food, margarine, or mayonnaise. Furthermore, it is used as an additive in cosmetics, biodiesel, varnish, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Sunflower oil is among the most widely produced vegetable oils and is obtained from the seeds of the sunflower plant. The production includes the initial oil extraction by pressing (cold or hot) and refining processes such as solvent extraction, degumming, bleaching, and dewaxing. Refining sunflower oil increases its heat stability for frying and cooking purposes but is known…
