Oxoid and Remel introduce complete portfolio of culture media for the microbiological examination of non-sterile pharmaceutical products.
The analysis of major elements is a key factor in the nickel matrix, as their precise and accurate determination allows considerable savings on this very expensive matrix element.
The ARL Quantris is the first CCD-based instrument for analytical performance at the level of Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMT) spectrometers.
The reproducibility and accuracy achieved on all major elements - Cobalt, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Molybdenum and Tungsten - are even superior to those of equivalent conventional PMT-based instruments.
Excellent detection limits and reproducibility are also achieved on traces and on undesirable elements such as Aluminium, Carbon, Magnesium, Manganese, Silicon and Titanium present in alloys.
Not only does this mean that the ARL Quantris is extremely accurate, but the instrument also enjoys excellent stability and autonomy.
Drift corrections and other maintenance operations are only required once a week ensuring operation costs are fully maximised.
The number of ARL Quantris installations is growing, particularly in the USA, Japan and Germany.
The feedback received from customers is very positive as they experience analytical results far superior to their expectations.
To date, no instruments have incurred any operational defaults since their installation, and many have already been in use for more than a year.
The ARL Quantris was originally launched in spring 2003 and in addition to the new nickel matrix, it also supports the iron, aluminium and copper matrices.
