Product news

Exeter Analytical, leading specialists in high precision elemental microanalysis of a wide range of analytical samples, has launched a new scheme whereby customers receive free-of-charge training for the lifetime of a newly purchased Model 440 CHN analyser.

Determining the Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulphur content of unknowns is one of the most basic and essential needs for any chemist. Removing sources of variability from these analyses is a critical step in ensuring data quality. As a company dedicated to elemental microanalysis, Exeter Analytical's 25 years of involvement with CHNOS instruments, consumables and supplies has allowed them to better understand the whole problem facing microanalysts.

The aim of Exeter Analytical's scheme is to empower new customers with training in every aspect of running their samples thereby enabling laboratories to routinely achieve the highest quality of data irrespective of sample type. Not only does the scheme enable new customers to get up and running as soon as possible - but the lifetime pledge covers you also if staff change. In such circumstances Exeter Analytical will retrain new users at no extra cost.

Designed to give accurate, reliable results, over the widest range of sample types presented for analysis the Model 440 is proven to deliver unmatched operating accuracy and precision. The Model 440 uses thermal conductivity detection to measure Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen, after combusting and reducing a sample. Inherently more stable than gas chromatographic based systems the Model 440 delivers superior performance and sampling precision over a very wide range of elemental content. Horizontal sample injection enables automatic removal of sample residue after each analysis, avoiding memory effects and gas flow problems. Low gas and reagent consumption combined with higher reduction tube life allows the Model 440 to deliver the lowest operating costs of any CHN elemental analyser available. The Model 440 is a fully automated analyser. Intuitive Windows based operating software reduces human errors through incorporation of extensive automation, comprehensive customer help and diagnostic facilities.

Heating EquipmentA range of heating equipment is available for different laboratory applications including furnaces, ovens and hotplates. Furnace systems include vacuum furnaces and ultra-high temperature furnaces and ovens comprise of convection and vacuum ovens.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Thermal Analysis EquipmentThermal analysis equipment is used for measuring heat flow, weight loss, dimension changes or thermomechanical properties and is important for analyzing a material’s performance and stability. Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.
