In recent years, while many issues have been raised related to food safety and the environment, the safety of textiles, which are indispensable for everyday life, has become a particular concern.

EDX-FTIR Contaminant Finder/Material Inspector

LabSolutions Insight Library Screening is optional software for LabSolutions Insight.

In the revised RoHS Directive (RoHS 2.0), four types of phthalic esters were added to the list of regulated substances in July 2019. Although GC-MS is generally used, soft PVCs and certain other products include materials with high concentrations of phthalic esters, and if these are analyzed by GC-MS, they may place an excessive load on the column used. Because FTIR enables quick spectrum measurement without pretreatment, it is suitable for determining whether samples contain high or low concentrations of phthalic esters.

This pretreatment kit for human biological samples is intended for the field of forensic medicine.

IRSpirit FTIR spectrophotometers are extremely compact, but can still be used together with standard accessories from Shimadzu and other manufacturers. IRSpirit instruments come with IR Pilot software, which offers 23 application-specific workflows that are ready-to-use without the need for parameter setup. Measure multiple samples with just one click. Choose from the IRSpirit-T, with the same sensitivity as standard Shimadzu spectrophotometers, or the affordable IRSpirit-L.

eMSTAT(easy mass spectrometric statistical) Solution enables easy statistical analysis of MALDI-TOF MS/DPiMS measurement data by anyone.

IMAGEREVEAL MS is comprehensive image analysis software that can “reveal” the images hidden in a large amount of data. Different software licenses are available tailored towards different analysis goals.

The new AP-AD series models not only offer excellent basic performance, such as fast weighing times of about two seconds and high measurement stability that minimizes errors, but also include new functionality that improves convenience, such as automatic doors and touchless sensors.

The analysis of dioxins in foods was mainly performed using magnetic sector (double-focusing) GC-MS instruments.

Palm oil is an edible oil extracted from the fruit of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Due to the abundance of oil palm in Southeast Asia and Africa, as well as its relatively lower cost, palm oil has become one of the largest contributors to the global oil market. Crude palm oil (CPO) is usually refined, deodorized and bleached for wider usages such as domestic cooking and food processing. The quality of processed palm oil is governed by several factors such as the oxidative status, stability, bleachability and purity of CPO. Therefore, the quality of CPO is essential for the production of high-quality refined palm oils. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometers are widely used for qualitative and quantitative analysis due to its ease-to-use operation and short sample analysis time. In this application news, Shimadzu UV-1280 UV-VIS spectrophotometer, a combined monitor double beam spectrophotometer was used for the analysis of CPO and refined palm oil products.
