Visit Instrument Solutions at WoTS 2024

The World of Technology & Science trade fair will open its doors! To be precise, the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht will host the WoTS trade fair from Tuesday 24 to Friday 27 September 2024.

Together with sister organisation SALM AND KIPP, we will present ourselves as an exhibitor with a stand. You are welcome to visit our stand in hall 7, stand B046!

What we show you:

      • ICP-OES and ICP-MS standards from Inorganic Ventures
      • Sample introduction systems for ICP-OES and ICP-MS from Glass Expansion
      • Katanax X-300 Fusion Fluxer from Environmental Express – for accessing samples for XRF and/or ICP analysis
      • New! SNRG Block™ System for Digestion (open digestion) from Analytichem (formerly SCP Science) – for open digestion.
        heating block for digesting 48 DigiTUBEs of 50mL at a time as sample preparation for your ICP analysis. The temperature course of the digestion is recorded in the specially developed Go2Temp software.
      • GPC set from Knauer – The AZURA® SEC provides solutions for the analysis, separation and fractionation of sample components based on size and molecular weight. This system is useful for industries such as polymer, food, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals and research.
      • New! Nanoscaler from Knauer – The IJM NanoScaler system is designed for laboratory-scale formulation of lipid nanoparticles. It allows scientists to optimize process parameters for formulating API-containing lipid nanoparticles.
      • puriFlash 5,250 from Advion Interchim Scientific – This system enables rapid purification with normal or reverse phase chromatography, collecting fractions by mass. Ensuring safety and accuracy, the system confirms the mass and purity of collected fractions using UV/VIS, ELSD or in combination with MS.
      • New! SPE-LV6 from Advion Interchim Scientific – a compact, automatic system for sample preparation by solid-phase extraction. It makes the process more reliable and safer, and is ideal for analytical chemists seeking automatic solutions instead of manual work.
      • Freezer Mill and Cryo-Blade™ by Cole Parmer-Especially for grinding/pulping difficult to grind and tough samples!
      • Heracles E-Nose – This instrument is both electronic nose and Ultra Fast gas chromatograph and makes an overall odor profile and chemical composition analysis in one run.

Alternative for Gas Cylinders

Gas cylinders in the laboratory or workshop involve risks. Think of gas cylinders that leak with the risk of explosion as a result. And, depending on the type of gas, could potentially cause asphyxiation. In addition, moving can sometimes be a difficult and dangerous undertaking. In fact, having high-pressure cylinder bottles near your employees is an undesirable situation. Finally, there are measures that must be taken to comply with the regulations for gas cylinders.

Fortunately, there is an alternative, namely gas generators. Advantages of this compared to gas bottles are:

  • No explosion hazard
  • Easy to move
  • They don’t run out and don’t need to be replaced
  • Consistent gas purity
  • Economically beneficial

A gas generator only supplies gas when your instrument asks for it. If your instrument is on standby or turned off, the generator will not generate any gas. In the situation that an instrument has to be moved, the generator can be moved more easily. So no hassle to re-install the piping.

Nothing is more annoying if you no longer have spare gas bottles when a gas bottle runs out. It can just happen that there are delivery problems or employees have forgotten to check the gas bottles, resulting in an empty gas bottle. A generator will not run out and will continue to generate gas and will not need to be disconnected.

Perhaps the most important reason for your analysis is consistent gas purity. A gas generator supplies a constant quality of gas, while the purity of gas from a bottle can differ per bottle. That is undesirable for your instrument and analysis results.

The price of gas cylinders is increasing every year. Gas is becoming more expensive and its supply costs are increasing.

Investing in a gas generator has a payback period of approximately 6 to 12 months. This of course depends on your situation.

Instrument Solutions represents Claind Gas Generators and Purifiers. With over 40 years of experience, their gas generators provide a safer and economical way to supply clean gases. Claind’s generators generate pure Hydrogen (H2), Nitrogen (N2) or pure air (O2) for GC, LC-MS, TOC and many other applications.

If you think that gas generators can replace your gas bottles, but you want to know what is possible for your specific situation, our specialists Sina Saidifar and Jan Volkers can advise you without obligation.

Silent compact Air Compressor AirComp200

Claind, Italian manufacturer of gas generators since 1979, has launched a new compact air compressor. It has the power of an industrial compressor, but made it suitable for the laboratory.

The compressor delivers 180 Nl/minute of ultra dry oil-free compressed air suitable for feeding all nitrogen generators. Also suitable for general use.

For the lab a low noise level is important and the AirComp 200 is therefore quiet (< 58 dB). For years Claind has identified the most important wishes of laboratory users and integrated these into the AirComp 200. This makes the AirComp 200 unique!

Lowest noise level in the market

A pleasantly compact, aesthetic compressor that can be placed under the lab table. Ideal for the laboratory.

The AirComp 200 has a high production capacity (180 Nl/minute at 8.5 bar). Depending on the desired flow, the speed is automatically controlled so that in most situations only a small part of the capacity is used. The effect of this is:

  • a low electricity consumption;
  • Reduced engine load resulting in longer compressor life;
  • that it is low-maintenance thanks to the variable speed and low temperature that is released.

A built-in membrane dryer provides ultra dry air (Outlet Dew Point -60°C).

Lastly, the AirComp 200 is remotely controllable from the PC or smartphone and Operating parameters can be monitored in real time.
