A Rapid, Precise Test for Ochratoxin in Cocoa and other Complex Samples

We are pleased to present the quantitative lateral flow strip Ochra-V™ MAX test designed to measure ochratoxin A in cocoa powder at levels as low as 0.5 ppb and as high as 10 ppb. Ochra-V MAX combines powerful immunoaffinity column sample cleanup with the speed and simplicity of the Ochra-V lateral flow strip tests to enable fully quantitative results for ochratoxin A in a matter of minutes. The MAX rapid testing approach enables precise testing for complex samples such as cocoa powder.

MetAmino LC/MS kit extension

Based on customer requests, we extended our MetAmino LC/MS kit with other 3 analytes:

• S-Sulfocysteine
• Taurine
• Lanthionine

^*Note: The response of these analyte derivatives in positive ESI mode (PESI) is poor. Better responses can be obtained in negative ESI mode (NESI).

BPATest – New solution for determination of Bisphenol A

VICAM’s BPATest^TM pairs immunoaffinity chromatography with liquid chromatography (HPLC, UPLC) combined with fluorescence or mass spectrometry detectors to accurately, precisely and reliably detect and measure sub-ppb levels of BPA in complex matrices. The proprietary monoclonal antibody in VICAM’s immunoaffinity columns efficiently transforms test samples into highly concentrated, ultra-clean BPA extract.

Benefits

• Specifically designed for HPLC, UPLC and LC-MS use
• Detects levels as low as 0.1ppb and as high as 50 ppb
• Works with a variety of samples
• Simultaneous isolation and purification of target analyte
• Minimizes the use of organic solvents

The all information you can find in brochure.

MSPE filters (Micro-Solid-Phase-Extraction)

Micro-Solid-Phase-Extraction (MSPE) is a very simple sample preparation technique. MSPE uses a centrifugal filter with a membrane and a sorbent. MSPE tubes do not require the use of an SPE manifold and thus significantly simplify sample preparation for which a centrifuge is used. MSPE tubes are fitted with a membrane filter ensuring sample filtration after extraction. This avoids the use of syringe filters.

YMC-Accura

The new YMC-Accura Triart (U)HPLC columns are characterised by a bioinert surface coating on the column body and frit. YMC-Accura columns are ready to use without any preconditioning, unlike the analysis of sensitive substances using standard columns. The sensitivity is significantly enhanced and precious samples are recovered without any loss. The coating is less hydrophobic compared to the PEEK-lining used in the YMC-Triart metal-free (U)HPLC columns. It is intended primarily for challenging substances such as oligonucleotides, nucleotides, selected proteins/peptides and metal-coordinating small molecules e.g., organophosphates.

New surface coated hardware greatly suppresses interaction between analytes and column inner surface. All Triart materials can be packed & UHPLC compatible columns are also available. It can be used with the same manner as regular stainless steel column. Stainless steel processed by bioinert surface coating (all wetted parts including frits).

Features

• Suitable for metal coordination compounds, e.g. nucleotides, oligonucleotides
• Excellent peak shapes for sensitive compounds
• No carry-over effects
• Applicable for highly sensitive LC/MS analysis

The all information as well as examples of applications you can find in brochure.

MetAmino Kit

MetAmino^® kits offer an easy sample preparation method for your LC-MS or GC-MS analysis. MetAmino^® kits include derivatization reagences and all clean-up accessories to prepare your sample for injection. They eliminate time consuming sample preparation procedures. The new clean-up procedure uses a special material as the end-step including filtration (no need to use a syringe filter prior injection). The other advantage is that the derivatization procedure enables you to extend the analyte list. Contact us for further details.

Benefits

• 75 amino acids, polyamines, biogen amines and coenzymes in 7 to 12 minutes
• No need to heat up the sample
• Reagent storage at 4 °C (no freezer required)
• SPE pipetting step replaced by MSPE
• Further extension according to requests from labs
• Ready-to-inject sample after preparation protocol
• Short sample preparation time

Endura-Seals Injection Port Septa

Endura-Seals are a new patented CRS alternative to typical silicone-rubber injection port septa for gas chromatography. They work in a 2-part sealing system that includes the septa and the sealing nut. The duckbill valve and wiper seal combination in the Endura-Seals is much more resistant to needle wear and tear than traditional pierced septa. While CRS premium septa are already designed to reduce coring (particles in the liner), the Endura-Seals allow the needle to glide through the valve to virtually eliminate such particles.The Seals utilize a more cost-effective elastomeric spring design instead of the metal spring used in some competing designs. These features make the Endura-Seal septa an ideal choice for automated analyses in the long sequences used with today’s high capacity autosamplers.
