The Anasys Mirage – Submicron Spectroscopy is Finally Possible

Spectroscopy, in all of its many forms, is a useful technique which is well and truly the best way to identify the photothermal properties of a range of materials, but it has always been held back by a few limitations... That is, until the Anasys Mirage Photothermal IR Spectroscopy Instrument. Say what you will – manufacturers of specialist equipment haven’t quite got far enough in their art to ever breach the submicron threshold because the science isn’t quite there yet – or even that technology hasn’t got far enough.

All of this has changed thanks to California-based Anasys Instruments, the creators of a new system which finally allows the submicron barrier to be broken, well and truly.

The Anasys Mirage is a brand new system which combines photothermal IR in its purest form (something originally coined by Anasys over 10 years ago and developed, perfected and refined ever since) as well as probe lasers in order to break IR diffraction limits and allow submicron spectroscopy to be possible.

One of the huge advantages of the Anasys Mirage is the fact that its unique operating principle allows Photothermal Infrared Spectroscopy to be used in both transmission and reflection modes, allowing the researcher a world of options which were not possible until the advent of the Anasys Mirage. Transmission Quality Spectra in Reflection mode is not something which was possible before the Anasys Mirage, and submicron resolution is more than capable of correlating to bulk FTIR databases.

For more information on this revolutionary system, contact Scanwel who are official distributors of Anasys Instruments for the UK and Ireland. With specialist knowledge in the scientific application behind the Anasys Mirage, Scanwel will be more than happy to set up a trial at your convenience so you can truly understand the advantages the Anasys Mirage Submicron IR Spectroscopy will bring to you, as well as the applications it can open up to your research or academic facility.

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
