Emergency meeting! This time we will focus on the pretreatment of PFAS in environmental samples, as inquiries have surged!

The measurement of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances) is becoming increasingly important in the field of environmental testing. In particular, accurate and efficient quantitative analysis is required in complex matrices such as non-potable water, soil, and biosolids, including wastewater and rivers. In light of this, there has been a surge in inquiries regarding PFAS pretreatment in accordance with EPA Method 1633 since the end of last year. Therefore, we will urgently hold a seminar in February to address these challenges, changing our original schedule. 【Event Overview】 ■ Date: February 27, 2025 (Thursday) ■ Time: 13:30 - 14:15 JST (45 minutes) ■ Participation Fee: Free <Pre-registration required> https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/8028605763632700251

Enhanced selectivity! Separation of a wide range of polar compounds using a new hybrid stationary phase.

The "Raptor Polar X" is a column specially designed to selectively retain polar analytes through a balance of two retention mechanisms. When combined with a mass spectrometer, it is ideal for analyzing a wide variety of polar compounds. The separation capability of this product simplifies the analysis of polar compounds. It can reliably retain a wide range of polar analytes and efficiently separate them. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. 【Features】 ■ No need for time-consuming derivatization or ion-pair formation ■ Switch retention modes with simple mobile phase changes and short equilibration times ■ Suitable for enhancing sensitivity and selectivity in LC-MS analysis ■ Excellent separation and resolution of a wide variety of polar compounds ■ Combines HILIC and ion-exchange retention mechanisms into a single ligand ■ Widely applicable to the analysis of polar compounds across different fields and methods *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repairs without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
