Analyzers
A handheld Raman device for
material identification
This company's handheld 1,064-nm
Raman Progeny analyzer (photo) is
used for raw material identification,
in-process analysis and authentication
of finished products in pharmaceutical
manufacturing. Traditional
processes can include laboratory
analysis, a costly and time-consuming
step. By implementing an analysis
method at the point of need with
a handheld tool that can be used by
a non-scientist, manufacturers can
benefit from a more efficient method
to identify or verify their material in a
shorter time frame, and at a lower
cost when compared to laboratory
analysis. With its advantage of
utilizing a 1,064-nm Raman laser
excitation, Progeny offers a unique
solution for reducing fluorescence
interference, a common obstacle
among traditional handheld Raman
devices. Users now have the ability
to analyze a wider range of materials
and obtain interference-free results
in seconds. Other benefits include
the ability to scan through translucent
packaging, including polymer
and glass materials, a smartphoneinspired
user interface and a sealed
IP-68 rating for rugged warehouse
use. - Rigaku Analytical Devices,

A combustion analyzer for
emissions monitoring
The Thermox WDG-V HP series
(photo) is a set of next-generation
high-particulate combustion analyzers.
The series can be used to
measure excess oxygen, combustible
materials and hydrocarbons
in industrial applications, including
cement and lime kilns, power boilers,
incinerators and others. The
Thermox WDG-V HP builds on the
company's WDG platform, but adds
predictive artificial-intelligence diagnostics
and design redundancies
that increase reliability and worker
safety. The analyzer is certified for
use in hazardous areas (ATEX/IEC
Ex Zone IIC T3 globally and Class I,
Div. 2 in North America). The new series
adds the capability of measuring
hydrocarbons, including
methane
and other alternative fuels, such as
methanol and hydrogen, at percent
levels as a standard feature. This allows
monitoring for excess fuel and
loss of flame during startup and normal
operation. There is also a more
serviceable and robust enclosure,
ensuring superior ingress protection
and easier access to the probe
and filter. - Ametek Process Instruments,

A real-time analyzer for
calculating O2 in gas streams
The OxyHound (photo) is a highlyefficient
process gas analyzer that
conducts real-time and continuous
oxygen analysis of natural gas, biogas
and other gas streams. Utilizing
optical quench luminescence
technology for gaseous sampling,
this cost-effective analyzer conducts
precise oxygen measurements in a
gaseous phase (ppmv and % on a
molar basis) with no cross-sensitivity
for CO2, H2S, NH3 or SO2, sulfate
or other ionic species, the company
says. The technology of the OxyHound
is based on the phase modulation
of an oxygen-specific luminophore's
luminescent decay time,
which enables accurate calculation
of oxygen's partial pressure. The oxygen
analyzer measures the phase
shift and intensity variation between
the excitation light and the fluorescent
response, calculating oxygen in
real time. The OxyHound eliminates
the need for electrolyte changes or
membrane maintenance. With the
ability to work indoors and outdoors,
the gas analyzer serves various industries,
including natural gas pipelines,
refineries, biogas, chemical
plants, landfills, wastewater treatment,
manufacturing, food and beverage
and renewables. - Analytical
Systems Keco, Houston, Tex.

This laboratory TOC analyzer is
focused on ease of use
The multi N/C x300 product series
(photo, p. 14) is designed for analysis
of total organic carbon (TOC) and
