Exeter Analytical has announced that it recently installed one of the company’s elemental analysers at contract analytical service laboratory — Butterworth Laboratory, in Teddington, UK. The laboratory has used a manual version of the system for some time, but recently upgraded to a new generation with an autosampler. According to Frank Judge, principal analytical chemist at the laboratory, the new analyser “has given us much tighter precision on the third percentage decimal point and the linear regression plus software then takes the instrument to a new level of CHN accuracy and precision we have not experienced before.”
The laboratory is UKAS accredited for CHN determination and claims to draw upon industrial sector knowledge and expertise in classical wet chemistry, spectroscopic, chromatographic and elemental microanalysis techniques to offer routine analysis, stability testing, method development, validation and verification solutions.

A Life Measured in Peaks: Honoring Alan George Marshall (1944–2025)
June 18th 2025A pioneer of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry, Alan G. Marshall (1944–2025), is best known for co-inventing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), a transformative technique that enabled ultrahigh-resolution analysis of complex mixtures. Over a career spanning more than five decades at institutions like the University of British Columbia, The Ohio State University, and Florida State University, he published over 650 peer-reviewed papers and mentored more than 150 scientists. Marshall’s work profoundly impacted fields ranging from astrobiology to petroleomics and earned him numerous prestigious awards and fellowships. Revered for his intellect, mentorship, and dedication to science, he leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape modern mass spectrometry.
