In which industries is the Niton XL5 Plus Handheld XRF Analyzer used? Product FAQ

Answer

The Niton XL5 Plus Handheld XRF Analyzer is used in the following industries:

Oil and gas - for positive material identification (PMI) of piping material, which is critical where flow accelerated corrosion or sulfidic corrosion is a concern
Metal fabricating - for non-destructive elemental analysis to ensure that no incorrect or out-of-specification metals or alloys enter the manufacturing process
Automotive & aerospace - for incoming inspection and quality control of metallic and coated parts
Scrap metal recycling - for fast and accurate sorting of scrap metals, which is essential to enhance both workflow efficiency and profitability
Precious metal recycling - for accurately determining grade of precious metals and to prevent deleterious metals from entering the recycling process
Mining & exploration - for quickly identifying and recovering the most economically viable resources
Construction & environmental engineering - for screening risk assessment, hazardous site modeling, and remediation quality control

How can I use an Antaris FT-NIR analyzer for in-line process analysis? Product FAQ

Answer

If the process environment has water hose down, CIP, dust, high temperature, corrosive or explosive chemicals, the Antaris FT-NIR analyzer needs to be placed in a safe area or enclosed in an environmentally stabilized enclosure. Fiber optics run from the NIR analyzer to probes or flow cells installed in production process pipes, tanks, hoppers, conveyors, reactors, etc. The fiber optics carry the NIR source light to the probe sampling window and then carry the light after it has interacted with the sample back to the NIR analyzer detector. The end of the probe will have a window or an air gap for reflection or transmission analysis. The product being analyzed must be self-cleaning or the probe engineered to automatically clean itself by high pressure air. The computer that controls the NIR analyzer is also located in the safe area with Thermo Scientific RESULT Software exporting NIR results to text or Microsoft Excel files, LIMS, OPC or by 4-20 mA.

I am observing high non-specific background when I image my Click-iT EdU TUNEL-labeled samples. What is causing this and what can I do to reduce the background? Product FAQ

Answer

The click reaction is very selective between an azide and alkyne. No other side reactions are possible in a biological system. Any non-specific background is due to non-covalent binding of the dye to various cellular components. The Select FX Signal Enhancer is not effective at reducing non-specific charge-based binding of dyes following the click reaction; we do not recommend its use with the Click-iT detection reagents. The best method to reduce background is to increase the number of BSA washes. You should always do a no-dye or no-click reaction control under the same processing and detection conditions to verify that the background is actually due to the dye and not autofluorescence. You should also perform the complete click reaction on a no-TdT enzyme control sample to verify the specificity of the click reaction signal.
