Micronutrient soil analysis is commonly conducted in agricultural laboratories to assess the quality of soil for plant development and crop yield. Typically, the determination of micronutrients in soils is conducted using Flame AA, ICP-OES and ICP-MS.
The determination of macro and micronutrients in plant tissues is an important measure used to analyze plant nutritional status and to evaluate the possible need for fertilizer supplementation. The analysis of leaves provides the most information for the deficiency or excess of nutrients in plants. This procedure is often performed using spectrochemical techniques such as Flame Atomic Absorption, ICP-OES and ICP-MS.
We understand the complexity of studying the structure and function of proteins and their interactions within complex biological systems. The abundance of proteins in a sample of interest can vary by orders of magnitude, and often the most interesting proteins are present at very low levels. Because protein analysis represents many distinct challenges, your proteomics research goals need to be met by complete, optimized and accessible workflows for fast, accurate and reproducible results.Proteomics places high demands on separation, sensitivity, and informatics and Chemetrix provides technology to allow extensive identification of proteins at low levels and in complex sample matrices.
Packaging measurement methods include mass spectrometry and molecular spectroscopy, as well as the use of portable devices for remote analysis (such as measuring acrylamide at line with the mobile FTIR). All techniques are also supported by Chemetrix’s extensive sample preparation portfolio and complete methodologies are provided whenever possible.
Lipidomics is the comprehensive and quantitative measurement of lipids present in an organism. Lipids are key to cell membrane function, energy storage, and cell signaling. To understand the lipidome, it is desirable to characterize all lipids present. However, the diverse chemical nature and large number of possible lipids creates a substantial analytical challenge. The inherent complexity of lipidomics data sets requires advanced hardware and software tools for data analysis. Agilent introduces lipid-specific software for the Agilent LC/MS profiling lipidomics workflow.
Widely consumed in most parts of the world, milk and milk-based products are an important source of nutrients in the human diet, especially for infants and children. As tastes change and incomes rise, the popularity of dairy products in many developing countries is rising. With increased production to meet the growing demand, product quality should be closely monitored.
Chemetrix offers solutions such as gas and liquid chromatography, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry to ensure that dairy products are free from adulteration and contaminants.
As the size of semiconductors in integrated circuits continues to shrink, the impacts of trace level contaminants, particularly metals, on manufacturing yields are growing. Only instruments such as Agilent’s Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS’s are able to provide the high levels of sensitivity needed to examine the purity, particulates and packaging of semiconductors effectively. Our solutions enable the direct analysis of chemicals, eliminating dilution and sample contamination issues, and are supported by a comprehensive suite of sample handling, automation tools, and an unrivaled support structure for semiconductor users.
Chemetrix provides powerful atomic and molecular spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography techniques to ensure simple and effective routine analysis.
Semiconductor fabrication processes require ultrapure chemicals for product washing, and these must be free of trace metals in order to prevent contamination. Analytical instruments with excellent levels of sensitivity are required to effectively detect contaminants, and must operate effectively in high matrix environments. With industry-leading precision and enhanced efficiency through automation solutions, Agilent’s ICP-MS ORS and ICP-MS/MS technology enables the direct measurement of process chemicals with reduced spectral interference.
In the industry for wine, beer, or spirits there is an increasing focus on assessing the quality, purity and authenticity of both raw materials and final product. This increase in focus allows the production process itself to be controlled to ensure more consistent and higher quality products. Several analytic techniques exist to assess each stage of the production process, let assist in selecting the correct workflows for your beverage production.
