Double the Productivity of an ICP-OSE or ICP-MS
The Niagara II Plus Rapid Rinse Accessory by Glass Expansion (Australia) doubles the productivity of an ICP-OSE or ICP-MS instrument. The combination of a switching valve and flow injection technology accompanied by a fast positive displacement pump eliminates most of the overhead typically required for accurate analysis. Glass expansion developed a low sweep volume switching valve specifically for this accessory. The valve is designed for long life by using a rigid rotor with replaceable seals for each outlet.
An additional benefit of the Niagara II Plus is the extension of lifetime for all ICP consumables, including the torch, nebulizer and cones. Although a peristaltic pump is used to rinse the sample lines between samples, the sample itself never comes into contact with the pump eliminating potential contamination issues.

The C2V-200 micro GC with Temperature Programming
The C2V-200 micro GC from C2V( The Netherlands) is built for fast reliable gas analysis, in the lab or on-line. Integrated micro chip technology combined with narrow bore capillary GC columns result in a higher performance for lower costs. The C2V-200 micro GC is designed for ease of use, reduced maintenance, and low gas consumption. Our exchangeable column cartridges, with integrated heating zones, can be easily installed.
The integrated micro chip injector ensures precise injection, while the fast column temperature programming gives an extra dimension in method optimization. Together this enables fast and highly repeatable analysis results in seconds. With a speed of 240’C / minute the GC columns can be temperature programmed up to 10 temperature segments with a 0.1’C repeatability up to 180’C. This unique capability enables faster solutions.
The C2V-200 micro GC channels are independently operating GC’s, that can be assembled as one integrated instrument with common sample and carrier path. Or deployed as individual stand-alone instruments. No up front investment is required, to upgrade your C2V-200 micro GC with an additional GC channel later on. On the base of the first GC channel, optionally a 2-stream selector (double block and bleed) can be placed, which allows software controlled switching between sample gas and calibration gas. On the base of the last GC channel, optionally a sample gas vacuum pump can be placed, which enables air sampling.
The C2V-200 micro GC is delivered with dedicated instrument control and data handling software to run on a PC. This brings you up to speed the moment you unpack the C2V-200. The C2V-200 micro GC can be connected to the internet and controlled from virtually anywhere. For process solutions, an optional NeSSI ( SP76-1.0 ) compatible foot enables flexible system design and integration.

AirSentry II – Airborne Molecular Contamination monitor
Particle Measuring System (USA) Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) monitor, the AirSentry II, was designed for high sensitivity, speed, and low cost. Building upon the original AirSentry-IMS system, the new Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) cell provides ppt sensitivity, fast response, and increased selectivity. Continuous coverage of a critical monitoring point and a central software platform allow for easy data acquisition and analysis.
Current monitoring techniques, most evolving from a strategy of adapting old technology to contamination applications, are proving inadequate as critical dimensions shrink and lithography tools increase their exposure energy. Problem such as lack of time resolution, sample transport contamination, and insufficient sensitivity have become increasingly problematic. Working to resolve these inadequacies, the AirSentry II continuously monitors a critical point with the highest sensitivity offered in a low cost, point-of-use AMC monitor.

The Pulsar Instrument – Ultra Simple Sound Level Meter
Combining computer technology with ultra simple operation, the Pulsar Instruments (UK) sound level meter model 14 is an entry level instrument intended to be used primarily for factory surveys to enable employers to meet the “Noise at Work” regulations at the lowest possible cost.
As well as simplicity in operation, particular attention has been paid to the display and a new design of LCD has been used with very high legibility in all light conditions. The unit has not only the A-frequency-weighting required by the EU directive, but as well, C- Frequency-weighting, both with F-time-weighting or what was traditionally called ‘Fast response’.
The intent of the model 14 is to carry out an initial survey of factories and other workplace where the noise levels are not expected to be very high. If during and initial survey, no noise level is found that is over say 75dBA, no worker can be exposed to dangerous noise levels and the employer can be confident that he is fully compliant with the current regulations. Even if one or more slightly higher levels are found, these can be avoided or a more complex Leq meter can be used to quantify the average level, or a Personal Sound Exposure meter such as the Pulsar Model 22 ‘doseBadge’ used to measure the noise exposure of individual workers. A high sensitivity range is also fitted, going down to 35 decibels to allow noise to be checked at the boundary of any premises to ensure that noise is not escaping from a workplace.
A major problem with measuring noise accurately for the purposes of the EU directive is the presence of many ultra low cost units, intended for hi-fi. That can be bought from many non-professional retail outlets, but these are simply not suitable for measuring industrial noise as they have not been checked for accuracy and in general cannot be officially approved. Model 14 is normally supplied as a kit including a calibrator – mandated by the Directive as well as the operating manual etc, housed in a carrying pouch and fully complies with the latest International standards IEC 61672 at Class 2 level as well as the older IEC 60651 Type 2.lt therefore offers the lowest cost fully compliant meter available on the European market.
Pulsar Instruments plc have been manufacturing high quality sound measuring equipment since 1969, in the USA and Uk and offer their standard 2 – year warranty with model 14 that can be extended at no cost, when the instrument is regularly calibrated.

Remote Monitoring in Hazardous Areas via GPRS
R.STAHL's (Germany) 9719-type GSM/GPRS modem, which combines a robust design with state-of-the-art technology and easy installation, allows users to fully benefit from the advantages of GSM/GPRS data communication in zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas for the first time. Designed as a quad-band device, the 9719 modem is suitable for use in process plants in virtually all world regions.
Thanks to IP67 protection, the unit can be installed in outdoor areas without an additional enclosure. The SIM card holder and the antenna interface are instrinsically safe (Ex i), thus enabling users to safely change SIM card or install antennas in hazardous areas. The modem is directly connected to a PLC, an industrial PC or an OpenHMI via an RS232 interface. It comes with a wide range of functions which can be easily controlled via the same AT command set as conventional modems for standard industry applications. An LED display continuously indicates the modem status.
GSM/GPRS data communication has many uses in the process industry, e.g. monitoring unmanned pumping stations, remote tank farms or machines such as centrifuges or compressors. Users benefit not only from the fact that this communication technology is ideally suited for mobile applications : additionally, GPRS allows for the establishment of cost-efficient data connections which inform users about the status of plants or the fill level of tanks. Communication is thereby rendered independent from the infrastructure installed on location, and unlike WLAN technology, no longer requires users to implement their own radio network. R.STAHL supplies two versions of the modem, one integrated into a stainless steel enclosure, the other featuring a GRP enclosure. This design facalitates installation in the field.
