Recently passengers were forced to evacuate a flight at Barcelona airport after a passenger’s mobile phone, connected to an external lithium battery pack, burst into flames.
It is a situation like this that makes us once again realize how very dependent we all are on electricity. Just about everything we use is powered in one way or another. More and more mobile devices are used which get ever more powerful and combine various tasks in one single machine. With this increasing performance and consequently increasing energy consumption of mobile electronics, the requirements …

Safe, high-quality food is something that many of us take for granted. Occasionally though, a scandal occurs that shocks the world. Whether it is plastic in chocolate, melamine in milk powder, lead in noodles or lead in water, the consequences can be devastating for the people and businesses involved.
Consequences can be health-related for consumers but also affect the profitability and reputation of the brands of the companies involved. Governments around the world have responded to these liabilities with increased oversight and regulations – for example, the Food Safety Modernization Act …

Interested in the size, shape and chemical identity of your particles?
 
Have an application where particle shape plays a critical role, such as particle packing or adhesion to surfaces?
 
Need forensic evaluation of a failed batch, or identification of a contaminant in the process line?
 
A recent value analysis shows that a customer’s use of MDRS for component-specific particle characterization helped them save up to $500,000 when compared to conventional analysis.

Gelatin is a well-known ingredient in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is colorless and flavorless and is used for example as a thickener in many sweets or in capsules. Gelatin is a natural product and can be derived from collagen obtained from e.g. cattle, fish, chicken, and horses. Depending on source and preparation methods (acidic or alkali) many different types of gelatin with varying quality are obtained.
The need for analysis
You might remember a few years ago there was news from China about toxic gelatin capsules containing high concentrations …

After the introduction of the Zetium at Pittcon in March 2015, I look back at the most exciting product launch I have ever been part of with great awe of what we have achieved. I still remember my euphoric mood on my flight back from New Orleans. Not because of amenities on board or the limited leg room, no, it was about what had happened in the past months in the running up to the launch of our latest product, the Zetium XRF spectrometer.
Now you must know. I have been …

Whether it is for mineral exploration or mining waste analysis, there is a time lapse between bringing samples back to the laboratory, analysis and making decisions in the field.
Increasingly, governments are focusing on protecting the environment. Companies can be charged with hefty environmental fines. Minimise your company’s risk through quick analysis of undesirable environmental waste elements.
Imagine if you could have the flexibility to react quickly by analyzing samples while traveling between mine sites. Here’s a tip on how to set up a mobile lab in your car with the Epsilon …

Complete phase composition and simultaneous determination of bath parameters with a sample throughput time of less than a minute on a benchtop diffractometer!
The production of aluminium from purified alumina by electrolysis (Hall-Héroult process) is a very energy-consuming process. Frequent monitoring of the electrolytic bath parameters combined with short measurement times and high sample throughput is important to ensure minimum costs for smelter operations. Over the years a number of analytical techniques, including wet chemistry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) have been used to monitor electrolytical bath conditions.
Wet chemistry …
