Jan. 2025 - Elemental Microanalysis is pleased to announce the release of a new suite of water standards for stable isotope analysis, developed by our in-house R&D team.
Created using a selection of enriched and depleted waters, as well as natural waters from around the globe, this new product range includes five waters that are designed to mimic the variation in natural isotopic values found on Earth, plus three enriched waters.
These standards can be used as cost-effective working references and quality control standards for anyone analysing hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in aqueous samples for a wide range of research fields such as palaeoclimatology, hydrology, oceanography, and geochemistry. The three enriched waters are useful in applications such as biomedical research, e.g. measuring metabolic rates and total energy expenditure
Nov. 2024 - Elemental Microanalysis has added to its new range of synthetic soils, made from pure mineral and chemical ingredients, blended to exactly match the elemental make-up of natural soils. The synthetic process provides multiple benefits to customers, including ingredient composition tailored to the needs of the scientific community.
The newly introduced soil standards are a chalky soil standard (B2238), and a clay soil standard (B2236). Click the PDF below for a summary of the synthetic soils range so far. Additional synthetic soil standards (sandy, peaty, silty) are under development at Elemental to better mimic the range of natural soils previously collected, processed, and produced.
Creating synthetic soils leads to improved consistency across consecutive batches, compared to collected soils. Synthetic soils are also not subject to the same export legislation and control as irradiated natural soil, which simplifies import restrictions for hassle-free worldwide shipping.
Oct. 2024 - Elemental Microanalysis is introducing its first range of products for two of Nittoseiko Analytech’s* instruments: the combustion furnace AQF-2100H, for combustion ion chromatography, and the NSX-2100V trace nitrogen, sulfur and halogen analyser.
The new products on offer from Elemental are quartz outer and inner combustion tubes for each instrument, a mullite inner tube for the AQF-2100H, and the springs required for holding the tubes in position.
Elemental is also offering tube sets, giving customers even more value for money compared to OEM prices.
