Dionex has won a large order from the National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan. The agency will purchase 51 units of the company?s ICS-3000 ion chromatography system and 51 units of the ICS-2100 ion chromatography system.
Dionex has won a large order from the National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan. The agency will purchase 51 units of the company’s ICS-3000 ion chromatography system and 51 units of the ICS-2100 ion chromatography system. This order continues the ongoing relationship between the two organizations; the NPA purchased 51 HPLC systems from the company in March 2009.
The new IC systems will be used in police forensic labs throughout Japan for the analysis and identification of forensic evidence collected at crime scenes. Specifically, the ICs are expected to be used for anion/cation/arsenic/cyanide analyses by the NPA’s Chemistry Section in Police Science for various purposes including drug abuse, analysis of toxic substances and chemical terrorism.

Sustainable Green Solvents in Microextraction: A Review of Recent Advancements
March 27th 2024Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
