filter modules, the new qTOWER iris
enables optimal resolution of the individual
color channels and delivers
reliable qPCR results with multiplexing
of up to six targets. With a wavelength
range from ultraviolet (UV) to
near infrared (NIR), the qTOWER iris
achieves unique flexibility in the realtime
PCR thermal-cycler field. Highquality
sample block technology
ensures best thermal well-to-well
uniformity and unrivaled ramping
rates. The low noise emission of the
qTOWER iris and its compact design
make it suitable for any laboratory.

Machine learning powers
nanoparticle analysis
Malvern Panalytical
Launched in June, the NanoSight
Pro nanoparticle tracking analysis
(NTA) system (photo) is powered by
machine learning (ML) coupled with
designed-in smart features to simplify
the characterization of nanomaterials.
The NanoSight Pro, with upgraded
NS Xplorer software, delivers
advanced capabilities and improved
accessibility for all users. The new
instrument
boasts
best-in-class,
Kett
ultrahigh-resolution size and concentration
measurements for nanomaterials,
up to three times faster
than ever before. Previous limitations
linked to small biological particles
and other low-scatterers are
overcome by NanoSight Pro, which
is optimized for use with samples including
exosomes, viruses, vaccines
and drug-delivery systems. The instrument
is powered by ML coupled
with cutting-edge technology, including
an upgraded temperature
controller that allows stress and aggregation
studies to be performed at
up to 70°C. - Malvern Panalytical

Measure moisture content with
this handheld NIR analyzer
With the KJT130 handheld portable
instant moisture meter (photo), the
user simply points the instrument at
the product and the moisture content
is instantly shown on a digital display,
with results accurate to 0.01% in a
0 to 100% measurement range. For
ease of use, the unit is operated via
user-friendly menu commands that
any worker can operate. The unit,
which is the size of a camcorder, is

Accurate density measurement
of chemicals
The CL 10-HY Density Cell and Series
2000 Density Digital Converter
(photo) combine to provide online,
continuous density measurement
of chemicals, such as ammonium
hydroxide, caustic soda, ethylene
glycol, hydrochloric acid, methanol,
nitric acid, oleum, phosphoric acid,
sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide,
sulfuric acid and many more. The
Density Cell is available in a full spectrum
of corrosion-resistant materials
having broad temperature and pressure
ratings. They are weather-tight
and are approved for most hazardous-area
classifications, such as CL
I, Divisions 1 and 2. The Digital Density
Converter has an onboard microcontroller
and is preprogrammed
and calibrated. Software calculates
the specific gravity, percent concentration,
Baume and more by utilizing
the density and temperature information
generated by the Density
Cell. - Automation Products, Inc.

Analyzers for monitoring
low TOC values
The CA78 (photo, p. 23) and CA79
online total organic carbon (TOC)
analyzers provide continuous and
precise monitoring to ensure stable
operations, regulatory compliance
and high-quality products. These
TOC analyzers utilize ultraviolet
(UV)-oxidation and differential conductivity
measurement, the mostestablished
method for reliable TOC
trace analysis in ultrapure water. The
fast response time (t90) of 50 s enables
quick control system and personnel
reaction in the event of water
quality deterioration, reducing contamination,
product loss and costs.
The CA78 is configurable to meet
various requirements in the power
and semiconductor industries. For
example, the standard version measures
ultrapure water in semiconductor
production, with conductivity
