Analytik Jena’s PlasmaQuant® MS was presented to the public at the Analytica Expo in Moscow during a workshop held at the Analytik Jena booth. Used for element trace analysis, the system is suitable for a wide range of routine applications in environmental analysis, food safety, mining, chemistry, and petrochemistry. A workshop, held on April 14, and a conference devoted to ICP methods, which followed on April 15, were attended by leading scientists and experts in mass spectroscopy.

The outstanding presentation made by Iouri Kalinitchenko, Head of Research and Development for ICP-MS, which highlighted the great technical advantages of the new instrument, kindled the interest of those on hand, as was reflected in their numerous questions and discussions. As Marina Mukhina, Analytik Jena’s Regional Manager in Russia, commented: “I am proud that the workshop has revealed a great interest not only among our customers and partners but among our competitors as well. This is a clear signal that Analytik Jena is entering into the Russian market with a solid and competitive instrument, which will make a name for itself in the very near future.“

Analytik Jena has been represented in Russia by a representative office in Moscow since 2000, which is headed by Marina Mukhina, the Regional Manager. The company has been on hand at Analytica Expo in Moscow, the most important Russian trade fair for analytics, laboratory technology, and biotechnology since 2009. This year the company focused at the Expo on the promotion of PlasmaQuant® MS, with the goal of raising awareness for the brand.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.

It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Elemental AnalysisElemental analysis involves determining the elemental composition of a sample, often used in environmental, pharmaceutical, and material sciences. Techniques like ICP-MS, X-ray fluorescence, and atomic absorption spectroscopy allow precise quantification of elements such as metals and nonmetals in complex matrices.
