Pittcon 2012 Interviews Videos

Tim Drake from Aspex Corp at Pittcon 2012.

Introducing the ASPEX EXpress Desktop SEM: When size and budgets are key, the ASPEX EXpress desktop SEM provides superior particle analysis capabilities at an affordable price. Designed for "out of the lab" applications, the ASPEX EXpress desktop has plenty of power to do routine automated particle analysis with ease, speed and reliability.

The ICAP-Q ICPMS from Thermo Scientific is a new instrument that has been designed from the ground up that not only provides ease of use, but also easy maintenance. While the software interface makes the instrument easy to drive other features such as the redesigned Q-Cell collision cell help increase productivity by a factor of 2 over other ICPMS systems as well as improving sensitivity by 3 to 4 times.
