Thermo Fisher Scientific launch a new tribology cell for its rheometer product line providing improved insight in surface engineering processes.
Culture media complies with microbial limit tests
Oxoid and Remel introduce complete portfolio of culture media for the microbiological examination of non-sterile pharmaceutical products.
Booth 330 will feature the Thermo new UltraDry silicon drift detector, a new Liquid Nitrogen (LN)-free solution for high-throughput Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) applications.
Combining ultra high-count rate, high-resolution performance associated with silicon drift technologies and high sensitivity for light element detection (down to carbon at high count rates), the UltraDry provides vibration-free operation for cost-effective no-LN operation.
Another innovation comprises the ability to simultaneously acquire data from multiple detectors, thereby cutting data collection times by half.
Multiple detector inputs on one Noran System Six analyser also enable users to run different X-ray detector types.
For example, users can now collect high-throughput data using the Thermo new UltraDry silicon drift detector, and then acquire data with an LN-cooled detector under lower beam current conditions, all with the same X-ray microanalysis system.
A new software option extends the capabilities of X-ray mapping and the Thermo exclusive Compass component extraction tool, allowing users to extract chemically unique phases and to create true phase distribution maps and spectra from Compass-processed data.
This enhancement simplifies the process of identifying chemically unique phases in Spectral Imaging data.
Based on feedback from current users, Thermo has also added new built-in tools for analysis on the Noran System Six software, including an Adobe Photoshop-style "magic wand" area selection tool, and isometric map contouring tools.
Thermo will also demonstrate new integration of elemental data between the Noran System SIX and the EBSD from HKL Technology.
