PerkinElmer: A Novel High Sensitivity Mass Spectrometric Detector for Gas Chr...PerkinElmer, Inc.
A new quadrupole MS system has been designed for GC applications that increases signal to noise performance and hence detection limits to levels not previous seen with such systems.
This performance has been obtained through the development of two new critical components: a new ion source design and a new electron multiplier detector design.
The ion source has been designed for use in both EI and CI modes of operation with the simple exchange of just a few source parts. The source design provides for easy removal with a 180° twist that also ensures a positive seal on reinstallation, preventing air leaks from occurring.
The self-aligning nature of the twist mechanism assures positive contact with all electrical connections preventing failures from intermittent contacts. The source has been designed using a minimum number of parts that require no tools to disassemble, clean and reassemble. Both these features provide for a shorter maintenance time and faster pumpdown resulting in shorter downtime for maintenance and/or column change.
The new detector comprises four critical components:
• Ion Deflector—Turns the ions, filtering off any noise and passing only ions of interest to the high-voltage conversion dynode for improved signal to noise ratio and better detection limits.
• Electron Multiplier—Discrete dynode design outperforms and outlasts low-cost continuous dynode systems.
• Constrictor Lens—Further focuses the ion beam as it leaves the analyzing quadrupole.
• Patented High-Voltage Conversion Dynode—Optimizes electron multiplication for greater sensitivity and longer lifetime.
These features provide better response in full and single ion monitoring and in combination (SIFI) applications.
We will illustrate the application and performance of the new detector with classical applications such as the EPA method 8270 for semi-volatile pollutants in soil and water
An introduction to the use of ICP-MS in the clinical setting, that goes on to describe some potential new application areas for advanced instrumentation such as HPLC-ICP-MS, laser ablation-ICP-MS and immuno-tagging-ICP-MS for the measurement of biomolecules.
Many factors impacting the measurement precision of ICP-OES and ICP-MS are still often neglected for everyday operation, however. Sample preparation is one of the factors that play a crucial role in the success of high-quality sample analysis. In this webinar, our experts will discuss sample preparation to: 1) improve analysis precision 2) make difficult samples easy to be analyzed 3) eliminate sample dilution to minimize error introduction.

Academic lecture to MSc students on trace elements in human health, their clinical importance and analytical measurement. Covering the techniques of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), ICP-optical emission spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). MSC Health and Clinical Science
In the past, measuring the total amount of an element was sufficient. Unfortunately, the effects of an element extend far beyond its absolute amount. Different forms of an element can exhibit very different physicochemical properties, including varying toxicities. The process of separation and quantification of different chemical forms of an element, more specifically termed speciation analysis, can be utilized to determine an element’s various chemical forms. The number of environmental applications of elemental speciation analysis has increased significantly. For example, both the United States EPA and the European Union have specified maximum admissible chromium concentrations in their respective drinking water directives and are evaluating the inclusion of hexavalent chromium in certain legislation. Learn about the latest developments in chromatography technology for speciation analysis that offer data for a wide variety of applications, including chromium in drinking water and both arsenic and sulfur in environmental waters.

No single liquid chromatography (LC) detector delivers ideal results. Often with LC detectors one analyte responds more strongly than another, or may not respond at all. What is most desired is the ability to accurately measure a wide range of analytes with consistent response simultaneously.
Charged Aerosol detection (CAD) is a mass sensitive technique for determining levels of any non-volatile and many semi-volatile analytes after separation by liquid chromatography. This technique provides consistent analyte response independent of chemical characteristics and gives greater sensitivity over a wider dynamic range. An analytes response does not depend on optical properties, like with UV-vis absorbance, or the ability to ionize, as with mass spectrometry (MS). The presence of chromophoric groups, radiolabels, ionizable moieties, or chemical derivatization is needed for detection.

Atomic Absorption spectrometer is an instrument used for quantitative analysis of most of the metals in nano grams. This is highly sensitive technique used for analysis.
Liquid Sensing: Visible light absorption spectroscopy and colorimetry are two fundamental tools used in chemical analysis. Most of these light-based systems use photodiodes as the light sensor, and require similar high input impedance signal chains. This session examines the different components of a photodiode amplifier signal chain, including a programmable gain transimpedance amplifier, a hardware lock-in amplifier, and a Σ-Δ ADC that can measure a sample and reference channel to greatly reduce any measurement error due to variations in intensity of the light source.
Gas Sensing: Many industrial processes involve toxic compounds, and it is important to know when dangerous concentrations exist. Electrochemical sensors offer several advantages for instruments that detect or measure the concentration of toxic gases. This session will describe a portable toxic gas detector using an electrochemical sensor. The system presented here includes a potentiostat circuit to drive the sensor, as well as a transimpedance amplifier to take the very small output current from the sensor and translate it to a voltage that can take advantage of the full-scale input of an ADC.
A tandem mass spectrometry (TANDEM MS), also named as MS/MS, is a two-step technique used to analyze a sample either by using two or more mass spectrometers connected to each other or a single mass spectrometer by several analyzers arranged one after another.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
