e.SPEC Product Description
|
|
|
Spectron Inc, the leader in the design, manufacture and sale of high precision consumable products for the mass spectrometry community since 1988 has released a new line of consumables. As a compliment to our standard product line, Spectron is introducing a unique line of e•SPEC™ (enhanced SPECTRON) products. Based on extensive industry experience, collaboration with fellow scientists and unique expertise in the manufacture of high precision, analytical components, we have enhanced the functionality and in many cases lowered the cost of these products.
Platinum cones are not manufactured from pure platinum. Pure platinum is soft and more vulnerable to attack by certain acids and conditions. Alloying Pt to Rh or Ir (typically 90%/10%) increases the hardness of the metal and dramatically improves its resistance to such attack. Historically, the choice of Pt/Rh or Pt/Ir alloys has been largely due to the availability and price of raw materials. Increasing demand for Rh in exhaust catalysts and glass manufacture, and unreliable supply of the metal has inflated the price of Rh from a low of $209/Troy oz in February of 1997 to a high of $6,500/Troy oz. in April of this year.
We already manufacture Pt/10Ir “specials” for those customers that require very low Rh background levels in their analysis. These “specials” behave as well or better than our standard Pt/10Rh sets. Based on our experience and independent metallurgical tests, we have decided that the manufacture of platinum cones with Pt/10Ir is best suited to our customer’s needs. Pt/10Ir behaves as well or better than Pt/10Rh, is less expensive and does not impart a Rh background. We are confident in these products and guarantee their quality.
As with all Spectron platinum cone products; we offer free refurbishing for the lifetime of the cones. Typically this extends cone lifetime well beyond one year. At the end of the cones life Spectron will then give our customers credit for future purchases based on the platinum metal content.

Platinum Cone Refurbishing
|
|
|
Though platinum cones resist chemical and thermal attack significantly better than their nickel counterparts, they are still prone to gradual refractory oxide deposition and sample matrix attack. They may also experience occasional, operator inflicted, blunt force trauma.
As a service to our customers, Spectron Inc. will refurbish our platinum cones, at no charge, for the lifetime of these cones. On average a platinum sample cone can be refurbished 4-6 times within a 3 year period, often increasing cone usefulness by thousands of hours.
For those customers that would like to refurbish their non-Spectron cones, there is a nominal charge

Platinum Reclaim
|
|
|
As described in Platinum Cone Refurbishing, Spectron Inc will refurbish your Spectron platinum cones as a free service to our customers, for the lifetime of the cone. This will often extend their usefullness for thousands of hours. Inevitably, the cones will no longer be usable. They will either be damaged beyond repair or they will no longer have enough material to rework them to manufacturer specifications.
Spectron Inc. will accept these cones and give our customers credit based on the current market value of the platinum alloy extracted from the used cone. Depending on the size of the platinum insert this credit may be worth hundreds of dollars.

Simultaneous quantification of 17 trace elements in blood by dynamic reaction cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (DRC-ICP-MS) equipped with a high-efficiency sample introduction system (APEX)
|
|
|
An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), equipped with a dynamic reaction cell (DRC) and coupled with a desolvating nebulizing system (Apex-ACM) to reduce the oxide formation, was used in the determination of Al, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and Se in serum samples. The effect of the operating conditions of the DRC system was studied to get the best signal-to-background (S/B) ratio. The potentially interfering molecular ions at the masses m/z 27Al, 59Co, 52Cr, 55Mn, 60Ni and 78Se, were significantly reduced in intensity by using NH3 and H2, as the reaction cell gases in the DRC, while a proper Dynamic Bandpass Tuning parameter q (RPq) value was optimized. The detection limits for 27Al, 59Co, 52Cr, 55Mn, 60Ni and 78Se, estimated with 3-σ method, resulted to be 0.14, 0.003, 0.002, 0.01, 0.01 and 1.8 μg L−1, respectively. This analytical method was developed on both a human serum certified reference material and a lyophilized animal serum produced and proposed in an intercomparison study. The results obtained for the reference samples agreed satisfactorily with the certified values. Precision (expressed as CV%) between sample replicates was better than 10% for elements determination, with the only exception of aluminium (14%). |
