The Anasys nanoIR2-s – A Modern Approach to Nano-IR

Nanoscale Infrared Spectroscopy is a field which has quite a few competitors battling it out in order to provide superior products. Anasys Instruments are a rather large player in this field of surface science, and this Californian company is so for good reason. Pioneers of the field of Nanoscale Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy (and Imaging), Anasys Instruments are the company of which others attempt to emulate.

The NanoIR2-FS is a example of Anasys setting the bar for other manufacturers. This high-speed, high resolution full spectra device allows for AFM-IR measurements in a matter of seconds. Gone are the days of readings taking a few hours or a few minutes, the NanoIR2-FS promises accurate, fast results.

How accurate are these quick results? You might be forgiven for thinking that haste equals waste, but with Anasys Instruments, it’s absolutely anything but. The NanoIRS-F2 device also features 10nm chemical imaging spatial recognition with Tapping AFM-IR (Widely regarded as the most advanced development in nanoscale IR technology, providing the highest spatial resolution for chemical imaging there is) ensuring that your measurements are of the most precise possible.

Anasys Technologies have absolutely knocked the ball out of the park with this one – the NanoIR2-FS may be considered by many as somewhat difficult to use. The device is certainly quick, and accurate, so surely there must be some tradeoff, right? There must be some drawback to using the nanoIR2-FS, right?

Well, wrong. Despite the nanoIR2-FS being the latest generation of Anasys Instruments pioneering field of nanoscale infrared spectroscopy, it certainly displays none of the flaws which one would associate with being the first of its kind. Anasys are true masters of their field, producing excellent product after excellent product, yet this one is worthy of being considered the flagship Anasys Instruments product of this generation.

Furthermore, The NanoIR2-FS boasts multifunctionality throughout – such as nanoscale property mapping modes, each with full featured AFM. It’s an absolute doddle to use to a trained operator, and boasts superior reliability and will certainly boost your productivity – whether you’re using the NanoAR2-FS for laboratory, educational, or even industrial use, this little piece of kit will certainly boost your capacity.

The nanoIR2-FS is available in the UK directly from Scanwel, a well respected manufacturer of custom fabrications and fittings, based within Bala, North Wales.

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com

The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses. An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building. Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is als

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly.  Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the form
