Industry news

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments will showcase several new products, including its latest GC-MS and triple quad LC-MS, host live demos and poster sessions, and present on the analysis of mycotoxins and medical cannabis at the Pittcon 2016 conference and exhibition. The conference takes place March 6 to 10 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Attendees should stop by booth 1338 to discuss their laboratory challenges with Shimadzu’s technical experts and see firsthand how the company’s sophisticated instruments save time, money and effort in the lab. Shimadzu will be exhibiting its full range of instruments, including chromatographs (HPLC/UHPLC, GC), mass spectrometers (GC/MS, LC/MS, MALDI), spectrophotometers (FT-IR, Fluorescence, UV-VIS-NIR), atomic and X-ray spectrometers (AA, ICP, EDX), thermal analyzers, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzers, data systems/software, particle size analyzers, balances, and materials testers.

Live Demos
• ED-XRF: A Singular Answer to the Challenges of Analyzing a Variety of Sample Forms
• UV-VIS: Easy Check of Anti-Reflective Coatings – How Good is Yours?

Presentations
• “Analysis of Mycotoxins in Various Food Matrices via SFE/SFC/MS” by Todd Anderson
• “Medicinal Cannabinomics and Mass Spectrometry Applications to Cannabis Testing Laboratories” by Scott Kuzdzal

Networking Sessions
• Updated and New Part 4000 Standard Methods, with William Lipps
• Analytical Techniques Used in Renewable Energy Manufacturing, with Mark Janeczko
• Cannabis Analytical Testing Forum, with Scott Kuzdzal
• Moving Bioanalysis Sample Prep and Cleanup Forward, with Scott Kuzdzal
• Don't Worry, Be Hoppy – Beer Analysis, with Robert Clifford

Shimadzu will also host multiple poster presentations covering a variety of analytical techniques, including GC-MS/MS, LC-MS, SFE-SFC and HPLC. Topics covered include food safety, environmental and water analysis, pharmaceutical research, and modern laboratory best practices.

TOC-L Total Organic Carbon Analyzer

Shimadzu Corporation

  Consisting of four models, including PC-controlled and standalone versions, the TOC-L uses Shimadzu’s 680° C combustion catalytic oxidation method to efficiently analyze all organic compounds. It features automatic sample acidification and sparging, as well as an automatic dilution function that reduces sample salinity, acidity and alkalinity. This significantly extends the use of catalysts and combustion tubes. The TOC-L Series features variable syringe sizes when the sample volume is limited. High-precision mass flow controllers ensure uninterrupted carrier gas for accurate analysis. A zero-maintenance Peltier cooler used for maximum water vapor removal ensures accurate analysis. In addition, an on-board air purifier may eliminate the need for high-purity air during testing. The optional salt kits permit 12 times more salt to be analyzed before maintenance is required. The ASI-L autosampler can use three different vial sizes for various applications, while the smaller OCT-L autosampler can use any vial size for up to 8 or 16 samples. TOC-L models can accept particulates up to 500 microns or 800 microns with the optional particulate kit. For larger particles, solids, soils and sludge, the SSM-5000 is the ideal solution. The TNM-L can be added for simultaneous TOC and Total Nitrogen analyses without increasing the size of the footprint.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.

It brings together professionals and innovators in analytical chemistry, physics, and biology, offering a platform to explore the latest scientific tools and technologies. From cutting-edge laboratory instruments to emerging research trends, Pittcon is a must-attend event for professionals in research and development. Food SafetyFood safety describes the prevention of food-borne illnesses. Contamination with a variety of pathogens can be prevented with adequate temperature control, hygiene and labeling. Food samples can be tested using GC/MS, HPLC, SPE, and qPCR to ensure their adherence to regulations.Particle Size AnalysisParticle size analysis describes the size distributions from sub-nanometer to millimeter of particulate samples. Size is an important physical property and the technique is often utilized in a range of industries, such as chemical, environmental and agriculture.MycotoxinsToxic chemicals such as Aflatoxin and Alkaloids that are produced by fungi are known as mycotoxins. In humid conditions, fungi can proliferate and colonize on crops to levels that can be damaging to human health. TOC MonitoringLC-MSHPLCHigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a technique for separating, identifying, and quantifying components in mixtures. It is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental analysis to ensure purity and identify unknown compounds.
