Agilent Technologies

Fast Analysis of Microplastics Using Laser-Based Infrared Spectroscopy   
Louis Tisinger, Agilent Technologies

Agilent's proprietary 8700 LDIR Chemical Imaging System makes the microplastics workflow completely turn-key: particles are identified; pictures of each particle are taken; physical dimensions of each particle are measured, spectra are collected and library matched; and sample statistics are compiled.

Camsco

Autonomous Real-time VOC Analyzer - OMNI-2100    
Jason Robles, Camsco

The OMNI-2100 offers a real-time continuous monitoring approach for VOC's with unprecedented data granularity. The major benefit for real-time continuous measurements is the immediate availability actionable data allowing for early identification and investigation of fugitive emissions that can contribute to exceedances of internal thresholds and the benzene action limit set by the EPA.

Syft Technologies

Monitoring of Emission Sources Using SIFT-MS  
Caleb Allpress, Syft Technologies

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a soft chemical ionization technique that can be used to directly quantify volatile organic or inorganic analytes. SIFT-MS achieves selectivity of analysis by interrogating the reactivity of analytes with up to 8 different ions, which allows rapid and selective quantitation. SIFT-MS can be used on-site to monitor whole air samples directly, or off-site to analyse samples collected on thermal desorption tubes.

DSP Systems

Automation of the Sample Purification Method for the Analysis of all 209 Polychlorinatedbiphenyls and Dioxins     
Chris van Wakeren, DSP Systems

In 2015 a new automated sample preparation system for the analysis of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was introduced in Europe. The method results in two purified fractions containing 1) Dioxins and non-ortho PCBs and 2) mono-ortho PCBs and marker PCBs without the use of dichloromethane.
