JEOL is releasing new triple quadrupole mass spectrometer

JEOL Ltd. (President Gon-emon Kurihara) announces the release of new Gas Chromatograph(GC) -  triple quadrupole mass spectrometer system, JMS-TQ4000GC on August, 2018.

JMS-TQ4000GC is a GC-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer system with both capabilities of high throughput and high sensitivity based on the unique “Short collision cell technology”. Those capabilities can improve the productivity for routine analysis such as residual pesticides analysis in agricultural materials or monitoring of trace amount of chemicals regulated by tap water quality standard and environmental criteria in each region or country.

It is expected that JMS-TQ4000GC would contribute to expand JEOL’s market share of not only GC-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer but also GC-single quadrupole mass spectrometer or GC –time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

[Main Features]

1.   Short collision cell technology enables high speed data acquisition without crosstalk

JMS-TQ4000GC can achieve the fastest SRM (Selected Reaction Monitor) switching speed in the industry at 1,000 channels/sec. Moreover, even at the fast SRM it can eliminate ion interaction among SRM channels (crosstalk) and makes it possible to analyze multi-target compounds with high accuracies.

2.   High sensitivity achieved with ion accumulation and pulsed ion ejection at short collision cell

Short collision cell has both capabilities of ion accumulation and pulsed ion ejection. Noise level of signal can be reduced as much as possible by acquire data only when an ion pulse arrives at the detector. The noise reduction leads to high sensitivity.

3.   Simple operation for data acquisition and analysis with a combination of pre-installed SRM condition file and multi-target quantitative analysis software.

The “peak dependent SRM” system automatically creates the optimized measurement condition when the target pesticides are selected from the pre-installed SRM condition files. After measurement, the multi-target quantitative analysis software “Escrime” analyzes the data and creates the analysis reports according to the report format template selected in advance. In addition, the unique functionalities of “Escrime” such as “Slide show for chromatographic peaks check” and “Across-the-board manual peak integration” make the data verification easier and faster.

[Main Specification]

Measurement modes : Scan, SIM, Scan&SIM, SRM, Product-ion scan, Neutral loss scan, Precursor-ion scan, Scan&SRM

m/z range : 4~1,022

SRM speed : 1,000 channels/sec

CryoARM300 inauguration @ VIB Brussels 19th September 2018

The CryoARM300 at VIB Brussels will be inaugurated during the BECM sattelite meeting. The goal of the satellite lectures is to demonstrate the state of the art Cryo-EM options from a mostly technical perspective. The day will end with the BECM Inaugural Lecture to celebrate the installation of the CryoARM300 by Nobel Laureate Richard Henderson and a reception with barbecue.

This event precedes the Structural Dynamics in Cellular Communication conference on 20-21 September 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. You can find out more about this meeting on the conference website.

Inauguration of the JEM-ARM200F in Leuven

You are kindly invited to the Res Metallica symposium “Advanced Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy for Deep Insight of Materials” on Wednesday May 9, 2018 at 13:00 in the "Aula van de Tweede Hoofdwet", Kasteelpark Arenberg 41, 3001 Leuven. The symposium is organised by the Department of Materials Engineering, KU Leuven and sponsored by JEOL and by FWO Science Research Network (WOG).

Recent advancements in electron microscope instrumentation have provided new possibilities for high resolution characterization of materials. Especially, the successful implementation of aberration-correction in a (scanning) transmission electron microscope (S)TEM has yielded possibilities far beyond the lateral resolution. In this symposium, two experts in this field will present the benefits of these advances with reference to several materials systems for gaining deeper understanding of materials properties. Two additional speakers, from university and from an industrial research environment, will highlight the role of (S)TEM for their research.

This symposium will be combined with the inauguration of the JEOL ARM200F STEM installed at the Corelab “Leuven NanoCentre”. The ARM200F was acquired via a Hercules Foundation project led by a consortium of KU Leuven (Materials Engineering, Physics, Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, Dental Materials) and supported by the group Science, Engineering and Technology of KU Leuven and JEOL. The ARM200F is an atomic resolution analytical electron microscope, with a STEM Cs corrector and cold field emission gun providing a STEM-HAADF resolution of 78 pm and full analytical capabilities using EDX and EELS.

JEOL present at the 42nd ISCC & 15th GCxGC Symposium from May 13-18

JEOL will be present at the 42nd International Conference Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) jointly organized with the 15th GCxGC Symposium, which will be held this year in Riva del Garda, Italy from May 13th-18th.

We will have a booth displaying our latest developments, which will be presented in detail during a seminar.

The last conference in 2016 was very successful with 830 participants, from all around the world, and with 41 exhibitors.

This year particular emphasis will be directed to all Comprehensive Separation Technologies and MS Hyphenation and to capillary chromatography and 2D GC with various forms of MS from unit-mass to high resolution, and from single to hybrid analyzers.
