CHEMICAL SOLUTIONSAnalytical Reagents

Setting a new standard for inorganic trace analysis

Simultaneous detection and continuous improvement of ICP detection limits require the highest purityreagents sample preparation as well as calibration standards. Merck Suprapur® acids have impuritiesguaranteed to be no more than low ppb in value, which is appropriate for most trace analysisapplications. For ultra trace analysis, e.g. drinking water samples, the acids need to be even purer. Thenew Ultrapur® quality guarantees figures in the 20-50 ppb range with typical results in the ppt range.This top specification ensures even the most minute analytes in your sample are detected.

Don’t sacrifice quality for safety HDPE bottles from Merck give you both

Every chemist knows the excellent properties ofglass as a packaging material. As an inertmaterial, glass ensures a long shelf life andspecification consistency over a long period, butit breaks easily. As safety is of the utmostimportance in the laboratory, Merck haveintroduced selected solvents and acids in PE-bottles.

PE bottles are practically unbreakable and lightand easy to carry. The 2.5 and 5 L packs haveintegrated handles for easy splash reducedpouring and emptying. The slimmer design iseasier to store and once you’ve finished withthem the environmentally friendly PE can berecycled.

Throughout the world, solvents and acids fromMerck are synonymous with reliability and topquality so it’s very important to them to makesure that the new bottle doesn’t compromisethe reagent quality in any way. The high qualityHDPE material without stabilizing or softeningagents demonstrated the same specification

parameters as glass bottles and stability testshave shown no degradation of this specificationover the whole shelf life of 5 years for solventsand 2 years for acids.

So safety doesn’t need to compromise yourresults and as you alsoneed to be assured ofhigh batchconsistency, acertificate ofanalysis isissued foreachindividualproduct thatdocumentstheir highquality withup to 60parameters.

LAUDA thermostats for testing electronic components

Temperature has always been of major importance in industrial and automobileelectronics, where a temperature range of –40 to 150 °C is common. Special test condition limits in the development of electronic components present a particular challenge for the test equipment used, as encountered inthe development department of the Micronas GmbH, Freiburg, Germany, a globally-operating semiconductor group of companies, who is a leading providerof innovative IC and sensor system solutions for the field of consumer electronics and automobile.

Our solution (as an example)The LAUDA Proline RP 855 C for testing the temperatures of sensors and other integrated circuitssuited perfectly. The electrical and functional properties of newly developed Micronas chips are test-ed to define their temperature dependency. The test pieces are put directly into the thermostat bathto ensure the uniform attemperation of the chips and the reproducibility of the test results.

The LAUDA Proline RP 855 C model cooling and heating thermostat with an operating temperaturerange of -55 to 200 °C met the required specifications:

• Ability to cover the whole temperature range with only one bath liquid (LAUDA Kryo 20 silicone oil)

• Short length of time for a complete temperature cycle

The deciding factor however was the fast change-over between the various testing temperatures in order to optimisethe sample throughput with one single device. ‘Time is money’ is especially applicable to the development of electronic components.

The LAUDA Proline thermostats provide up to 3.5 kW heating capacity andup to 1.6 kW available cooling capacity at a bath temperature of 20 °C.

Also suitable for this application are thermostats from theEcoline Star Edition such RE310 and RE320.

FLASHPOINT TESTING FEATURE

Various industries have a regulatory requirement to measure easily the flash point,which is the lowest temperature at which a liquid can form an ignitable mixture in air near the surface ofthe liquid. Test methods specified under UN and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, require the use of bothclosed cup (ISO 3679 & ISO 3680) and open cup (ISO 9038) flash points testers for product classification.Predominantly most manufacturing industries utilise the closed cup type, but in some instances open cuptests are used to check whether a liquid sustains combustion when heated and exposed to a flame underspecified test conditions. In some instances a material classified as flammable by a Closed Cup Flash Pointtest may be reclassified as non-flammable by Open Cup combustibility testing. This can have significantpotential cost saving implications for the packaging, storage and shipping of many substances across a widerange of industries, so if you thinking of trying to reduce costs, it’s worth considering a combustibility test.

Many applications require flash point testing: perfume in cosmetic industries, waste in waste recovery orcement industries, paints & coatings oil in petroleum & automotive industries, fuel in fuel depots, airportsetc. Here a selection of products from VWR to make your life a bit easier!

AUTOMATIVE, AIRCRAFT AND

PETROCHEMICAL SHOWCASE

This page covers some new products introduced to help end users in these industries with quality controlinstruments used to measure the physical characteristics that determine product quality and consistency. We’re also showcasing an innovative product to help with the problems of aircraft downtime due to fuel contamination.

Why worry about microbiological contamination in fuel?

HY-LiTE® Jet A1 Fuel Test will tell you in less than 10 minutes

With continuing demand for improved efficiency and cost reductions coupled withrising fuel prices, the focus is on minimising ground time, and maximising fueleconomy. Microbiological contamination can lead to operational problems, (e.g. clogging offuel filters/fuel lines, corrosion of tank linings/walls) as well as compromising the fuel quality itself(acidity/ corrosivity and water separability).

Good “house-keeping” including regular draining of water from wing-tanks will reduce the risk ofheavy contamination levels. IATA additionally recommends testing all wing tanks for microbiologicalcontamination at least every 12 month (more frequent for high risk operations like tropicalclimate/short haul flight) and treatment of any heavily contaminated tanks by biocide Most IATA recommended methods for testing for microbiological contamination takes days to get aresult, but with the new HY-LiTE® Jet A1 Fuel Test, you can get an indication of the totalmicrobiological activity in fuel, water or mixed fuel/water in less than10 minutes.

Your Key and unique benefits• Time/cost saving: shorter maintenance times• De-skilled method• Easy handling: no need for laboratory facilities• Less than 5 minutes hands-on time• Detects the total activity from Moulds, Yeast and Bacteria • Quantitative, Objective results (no interpretation necessary)• Same protocol for all samples (with / without water)• Same action limits for all samples (with / without water)• No microbiological waste• Recommended by leading aircraft manufacturers• Results in less than 10 minutes
