Gassonic has developed the world’s first gas leak simulation tool for ultrasonic gas detection. The new Simulator can be accessed in a trial version on Gassonic’s website www.gassonic.com/simulator. The Simulator makes it possible to experience why ultrasonic gas leak detectors are widely used for quick gas leak detection in challenging conditions found in most outdoor oil and gas installations.

STEMMER IMAGING’s latest camera offering, the JAI AD-081CL, features two monochrome progressive scan CCD sensors mounted to a custom-designed optical prism. The prism-based design enables the camera to simultaneously capture two channels of 30 fps video of the same field of view to within one-quarter pixel accuracy. A choice of operating modes allows the camera to be used for high dynamic range, high speed operation or particle imaging velocimetry.

ABLE’s range of WideBeam Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flowmeters, originally developed for liquid applications, offer the most advanced, accurate, and reliable ultrasonic metering technology for gas flow applications.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. today announced that its Exactive LC/MS system has been named Best New Product at the 2009 Gulf Coast Conference. The award, part of the New Product Showcase introduced this year, honors the most innovative products and technologies at the Gulf Coast Conference, an event oriented toward the advancement of knowledge of chemical analysis technology in the petrochemical, refining and environmental fields. The Thermo Scientific Exactive was selected by conference attendees as the most innovative new product at the conference from a field of 125 exhibitors.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc announces the introduction of a new analytical package designed specifically for the X-ray analysis of cement related materials. The ARL OPTIM'X Cement Analyzer is a compact instrument optimized for fast and reliable analysis of major and minor oxides present in the raw materials and products found in cement.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. introduced the new Thermo Scientific Evolution 60S spectrophotometer, a powerful UV-Visible instrument designed with the flexibility to perform QA/QC, life science and general research methods. The Evolution 60S features a 1.0 nm spectral bandwidth, bringing a new level of clarity to measurements in an affordable, compact design.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. today announced the new Thermo Scientific Escalab 250Xi X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). This fully integrated surface characterization tool is designed to meet the demands of surface engineers whether working in cutting-edge research and development of new surface chemistries or dealing with routine characterization of surfaces, thin films and coatings.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc today announced that the Human Nutrition Research unit of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge, UK, has selected the Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap Velos, MALDI LTQ Orbitrap XL and Exactive mass spectrometers. These systems leverage proprietary Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass-analyzer technology, the recognized standard for accurate mass and high-resolution measurement, to provide precise and reliable information. The MRC is using Orbitrap technology for high-throughput and high-performance metabolomic and lipidomic profiling that has not been possible using traditional mass spectrometry instrumentation.

STEMMER IMAGING are now offering the VisionRGB-E1 single channel high resolution image capture card, from a new supplier, Datapath Ltd. This PCI express x4 card provides image capture from analogue RGB or digital DVI video signals and works at a pixel digitisation rate of up to 170MHz (analogue) or 165MHz (DVI).

A high-speed, high-temperature HT200S laboratory digester from HACH LANGE has helped one of Europe’s largest recycled packaging companies to cut analysis times by 75%.
