Clarity Chromatography Software 10.2 released!

Traditional EI library searching works exceptionally well when the unknown compound is already present in the spectral library. However, analytical chemists frequently encounter compounds that are structurally related to library entries but are not exact matches. NIST's EI Hybrid Search addresses this challenge by combining conventional spectral matching with mass-shifted fragment alignment, allowing the identification of analogs, derivatives, and novel compounds that may not exist in the database.This guide summarizes the workflow presented by James Little and demonstrates how to use NIST 26 Hybrid Search in conjunction with the Chromatogram Window and MS Interpreter to obtain more meaningful structural information from unknown EI GC-MS spectra.<blockquote><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/paper/33370">You can download PDF Handout for this guide HERE</a></blockquote><h4>Why Hybrid Search Matters</h4>Conventional EI library searching relies on direct matching between an unknown spectrum and spectra stored in a library. Hybrid Search expands this concept by allowing fragment ions to be matched even when they are shifted by a consistent mass difference (Δm). This enables the software to recognize compounds that differ by substituents or structural modifications.Key advantages include:<ul><li>Identification of structurally related compounds not present in the library</li><li>Detection of analogs, derivatives, and emerging compounds</li><li>Integration of exact fragment matches and mass-shifted matches into a single score</li><li>Improved interpretation of unknowns through proposed structural modifications</li><li>Enhanced confidence when molecular weight information is available</li></ul>Although Hybrid Search does not require the molecular ion to be present, performance improves significantly when the molecular weight can be estimated or constrained. In these cases, the observed mass difference between the unknown and library compounds can often be translated directly into a plausible chemical modification.<h4>Configuring Hybrid Search</h4>Before performing a search, the Hybrid Search settings should be configured within the NIST Library Search window.Recommended settings:<ul><li>Select the Similarity search mode</li><li>Enable Hybrid Search</li><li>Keep the In Spectrum option checked under normal circumstances</li><li>Allow the software to estimate the molecular weight automatically</li><li>If the estimated molecular weight appears incorrect, manually enter a nominal molecular weight</li><li>Select all relevant libraries (NIST, Wiley, user libraries, etc.)</li><li>Save the configuration for future use</li></ul>The selected molecular weight used to constrain the search is displayed in the lower-right corner after the search is completed.<h4>Optimizing the Results Display</h4>Hybrid Search produces several unique parameters that are not shown in the default results table.Additional columns should be added by right-clicking within the results table and selecting Properties. Recommended columns include:<ul><li>DeltaMass</li><li>dForm</li><li>pctRelForm</li><li>o.Match (equivalent to the traditional EI Normal Match score)</li></ul>Without these parameters, much of the structural interpretation power of Hybrid Search is lost.<h4>Working with Spectra from the Chromatogram Window</h4>Currently, the Chromatogram Window performs standard EI library searching. When a potentially interesting unknown is encountered:<ul><li>Perform the normal EI search in the Chromatogram Window</li><li>Send the spectrum to the standalone Library Search module</li><li>Perform a Hybrid Search using the enhanced Hybrid Search functionality</li></ul>This workflow combines rapid screening with advanced structural interpretation.<h4>Understanding Key Hybrid Search Parameters</h4><h5>DeltaMass (Δm)</h5>DeltaMass represents the mass difference between the unknown compound and the matched library compound.A consistent Δm across multiple high-scoring hits often indicates a specific structural modification.<h5>dForm</h5>dForm provides a proposed elemental composition that explains the observed mass difference.Examples include:<ul><li>H–1F</li><li>CH₂</li><li>O–1</li><li>C₁H₃F</li></ul>These transformations can suggest likely chemical modifications between the library compound and the unknown.<h5>pctRelForm</h5>New in NIST 26, pctRelForm estimates how frequently a given elemental transformation occurs relative to the most common transformation (CH₂ = 100%).Interpretation:<ul><li>High values indicate chemically plausible and commonly observed transformations</li><li>Very low values suggest the proposed transformation may be accidental or unlikely</li></ul><h5>o.Match</h5>Represents the traditional EI match score and allows comparison between standard searching and Hybrid Search results.<h4>Case Study: Identifying a Fluorinated Unknown</h4>The presentation demonstrates the identification of an unknown compound with a proposed molecular weight of 152 Da.Hybrid Search returned several high-scoring hits with consistent evidence suggesting fluorine substitution:Hit #1<ul><li>Library MW: 134</li><li>DeltaMass: +18</li><li>dForm: H–1F</li><li>Interpretation: Addition of fluorine</li></ul>Hit #5<ul><li>Library MW: 138</li><li>DeltaMass: +14</li><li>dForm: CH₂</li><li>Interpretation: Related fluorinated analog</li></ul>Hit #6<ul><li>Library MW: 168</li><li>DeltaMass: –16</li><li>dForm: O–1</li><li>Interpretation: Structurally consistent fluorinated compound</li></ul>Multiple independent hits converged on the same conclusion: the unknown was likely a fluorinated analog of known aromatic compounds.This illustrates the major strength of Hybrid Search: identifying structural relationships even when the exact compound is absent from the library.<h4>Moving from Hybrid Search to Structural Interpretation</h4>Once a plausible structure is identified:<h5>Step 1 – Export the Structure</h5>From the Hybrid Search results:<ul><li>Right-click the best hit</li><li>Use Send To → Default Structure Editor</li><li>Open the structure in a drawing program such as ChemSketch</li><li>Copy the proposed structure to the clipboard</li></ul><h5>Step 2 – Open MS Interpreter</h5>Within MS Interpreter:<ul><li>Paste the proposed structure</li><li>Load the unknown spectrum</li><li>Compare predicted fragmentation with observed ions</li><li>Evaluate isotope patterns and fragment assignments</li></ul><h5>Step 3 – Validate the Proposal</h5>Indicators of a good structural proposal include:<ul><li>Consistent isotope ratios</li><li>Logical fragmentation pathways</li><li>Agreement between observed and predicted fragment ions</li><li>Multiple Hybrid Search hits supporting the same structural modification</li></ul>In the example presented, MS Interpreter showed excellent agreement between the proposed fluorinated structure and the observed EI spectrum, although the exact positions of the fluorine and methyl substituents on the aromatic ring could not be definitively assigned.<h4>Best Practices</h4><ul><li>Always review DeltaMass, dForm, and pctRelForm together</li><li>Do not rely solely on the highest match score</li><li>Give greater weight to transformations supported by multiple independent hits</li><li>Use molecular weight information whenever possible</li><li>Confirm structural hypotheses using MS Interpreter</li><li>Consider Hybrid Search as a structure-elucidation tool rather than simply a library search tool</li></ul><h4>Conclusion</h4>NIST 26 Hybrid Search significantly extends the capabilities of conventional EI library searching by identifying structural relationships between unknown compounds and library entries. Through the use of DeltaMass calculations, elemental transformation analysis (dForm), and statistical plausibility metrics (pctRelForm), Hybrid Search provides valuable clues for elucidating compounds that are absent from spectral libraries.When combined with MS Interpreter, it becomes a powerful workflow for the characterization of unknowns, analogs, degradation products, metabolites, and emerging compounds in EI GC-MS analysis.

VOCs from decomposing remains have been studied before,1 however there is a gap that remains in the knowledge on VOCs that evolve from submerged decomposing remains. 2 In this study, submerged animal tissue was tested to see how the VOCs can be utilized in forensic settings.&nbsp;This study used data obtained last summer using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography – time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS). Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are often used as analogs in decomposition studies due to similarities with humans. 3 In this study, pork belly samples were submerged in mason jars filled with water and stored at different temperatures. The GC×GC-TOFMS instrument was used to collect odor from above water samples for a period of twelve days.GC×GC is often used to analyze complex odor profiles. When analyzing samples with GC×GC, there is a lack of standardization to process the data acquired from time trials. There is a need to discover effective ways to track VOCs for chemical identification and longitudinal analysis.The goal of this research was to compare different software approaches to analyze GC×GC longitudinal data to achieve accurate analyte identification, representation of data over time, and effective class characterization.<h4>Methods</h4>For the first four days, 5 mL of water was taken and run on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/37">GC×GC-TOFMS</a>. Thereafter, the samples were sampled and run every three days until day twelve. Data were analyzed initially using <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/41">ChromaTOF</a> (LECO Corporation). The samples were then analyzed using <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/348">ChromaTOF Tile </a>and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/1873">ChromaTOF Sync 2D</a> to compare how they can be used in a forensic setting.Peak tables were curated in Tile and Sync 2D. Then, ChromaTOF was used as a guide to confirm which peaks were identified correctly. If the compound was correctly identified, the peak would be accepted or kept on the table. If not correctly identified, the peak would either be rejected or deleted. Once the tables were complete from the different software approaches, they were exported to Excel for further comparison.In excel, the relevant hits that were identified as decomposition VOCs were compared across the software approaches. The compounds that were most commonly found were compared to existing literature on decomposition VOCs. From there, two tables were built; where one table was compounds confirmed with literature and the other table was compounds not confirmed with literature.Comparison between software approaches included looking at different criteria to see which method was the most effective and efficient. The criteria included how long the software approach took, the number of compounds found in each software approach, the accuracy of peak area in the software approach compared to ChromaTOF data, and principal component analysis (PCA) comparison to see which software approach was best used for forensic practice or research.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Sync 2D showed the capability of showing trends in decomposition compounds<ul><li>This software approach can be used in research environment where longitudinal data is needed to determine the trends of decomposition data&nbsp;</li><li>Best purpose: research applications requiring longitudinal tracking&nbsp;</li></ul>Coefficient of Variance’s and Fold Change’s PCA plots showed their ability for clear class differentiation&nbsp;<ul><li>The two software approaches can be used to distinguish water containing decomposition in a crime scene&nbsp;</li><li>Best purpose: comparison at a single point and time [detailed analysis]&nbsp;</li></ul>Fisher Ratio showed a proficiency in identifying top differentiating compounds and showed aptitude for class differentiation&nbsp;<ul><li>The software approach would be helpful for cursory analysis for crime scene evidence&nbsp;</li><li>Best purpose: quick comparison of biggest difference for swift identification</li></ul><h3>3. Shimadzu: Determination of Ester and Linolenic Acid Methyl Ester Contents in Biodiesel According to EN 14103:2020</h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_05_sca_180_054_en_93d1029b72.pdf">Full PDF for download</a></li></ul><h5>User Benefits</h5><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=2060">NexisTM GC-2060</a> provides reliable analysis of biodiesel samples regarding their ester and linolenic acid methyl ester contents using hydrogen as a cost-effective carrier gas&nbsp;</li><li>It delivers excellent repeatability and provides appropriate safety measures for the use of hydrogen as carrier gas&nbsp;</li><li>The optional multi-mode injection unit (MMI) offers performance equivalent to a conventional split-splitlessinjection unit (SPL), significantly reducing maintenance downtime</li></ul>Biofuels play an important role in enabling countriesto meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets. They can be produced from a range of raw materials, including plant oils, animal fats, and used cooking oils. Biodiesel is mainly being produced from rapeseed, soybean, and palm oils. Due to this diversity of feedstocks, continuous quality control is necessary as the quality of the raw material has an enormousimpact on the quality of the biodiesel.&nbsp;The EN 14103:2020 describes the determination of total ester content and linolenic acid methyl ester content in biodiesel by means of gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The total ester content covers a range of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from C6 to C24, and linolenic acid methyl ester is investigated separately as interfering reactive compound that might influence long-term stability of the biodiesel. According to the standard, the total ester content must be greater than 90 % (m/m) and the linolenic acid methyl ester content shall be between 1 and 15 % (m/m)1.This study shows the analysis of biodiesel originating from rapeseed,soybean, and palm oil using the Nexis GC-2060.<h4>Multi-Mode Injection Unit as Alternative&nbsp;</h4>Shimadzu’s multi-mode injection unit (MMI) offers reliable splitsplitless mode functionality over a broad range of carbon numbers. It allows analysis of biodiesel samples with high repeatability and provides chromatographic results comparable to those measured with SPL as dedicated split-splitless injection unit. The use of MMI significantly shortens maintenance downtime from tens of minutes for a classical split-splitless injection unit to just a few minutes. Figure 3 gives a direct comparison of an exemplary rapeseed-based biodiesel sample measured with SPL (top) and MMI (bottom).<h4>Conclusion</h4><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=2060">Nexis GC-2060</a> provides reliable analysis of biodiesel samples regarding their ester and linolenic acid methyl ester content according to EN 14103:2020, covering the various ester types commonly in use. It allows repeatable analysis using hydrogen as a cost-effective carrier gas. The optional multi-mode injection unit (MMI) can be selected as alternative to a classical splitsplitlessinjection unit (SPL).<h3>4. Waters Corporation / ASMS: Putting the (Atmospheric) Pressure on Forever Chemicals: A Targeted Analysis of GC Amenable PFAS using APGC–MS/MS</h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/720009413_dfa4082b45.pdf">Full PDF for download</a></li></ul>This poster presents a targeted analytical method for the determination of gas chromatography (GC)-amenable PFAS compounds using atmospheric pressure gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (APGC-MS/MS). The study addresses a key limitation of conventional LC-MS/MS methods, which are highly effective for many PFAS but less suitable for more volatile species such as fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs), fluorotelomer acrylates (FTAcr), and fluorotelomer acetates (FTOAc). By incorporating GC-MS/MS analysis, laboratories can obtain a more complete characterization of PFAS contamination across environmental, biological, and food-contact materials.The analytical workflow utilized an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=8890">Agilent 8890 gas chromatograph</a> equipped with an autosampler and coupled to a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/554">Waters Xevo TQ Absolute tandem mass spectrometer</a> operated with APGC ionization in positive-ion mode. Separation was performed on an Rtx-200 capillary column, while data acquisition and quantification were managed using <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/1544">waters_connect software</a>. Unlike traditional electron ionization (EI), APGC generated intact protonated molecular ions, significantly improving sensitivity and selectivity for GC-amenable PFAS. A method covering 35 PFAS compounds was developed, achieving lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) of 0.025–0.1 ng/mL for most analytes.Several sample types were evaluated, including wastewater, surface water, soil, fish tissue, shrimp, and food-packaging materials. Environmental and biological samples were prepared according to EPA Method 1633A and had previously been analyzed by LC-MS/MS, allowing the GC-MS/MS method to serve as a complementary technique. Food-packaging samples were extracted with methanol containing ammonium hydroxide and analyzed for targeted PFAS. While no target PFAS were detected in the tested packaging materials, multiple GC-amenable PFAS were found in environmental samples. Fluorotelomer alcohols were the most frequently detected compounds, with wastewater and ski-wax-impacted soils showing the highest concentrations.The results demonstrate that APGC-MS/MS provides a sensitive and robust solution for the analysis of volatile PFAS classes that may be missed by LC-MS/MS alone. The method delivered accurate quantification, effective chromatographic separation, and reliable recovery in spiked samples. The authors conclude that combining APGC-MS/MS with established LC-MS/MS workflows enables a more comprehensive assessment of PFAS contamination, particularly for emerging fluorotelomer compounds and other GC-amenable PFAS that are increasingly relevant in environmental monitoring and food-packaging investigations.</div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>

Organomation 80 Position MULTIVAP Nitrogen Evaporator

The 80 position MULTIVAP parallel evaporator is a high temperature dry block model. This instrument contains a rectangular gas distribution system mounted on a frame and dual post assembly. 

The 80 position MULTIVAP parallel evaporator is a high temperature dry block model. This instrument contains a rectangular gas distribution system mounted on a frame and dual post assembly. The manifold delivers nitrogen gas to the needles or glass pipettes, which direct the gas onto the sample’s surface. This method results in rapid solvent evaporation and sample concentration. In order to conserve nitrogen gas, the manifold has a toggle switch for every row of 8 samples, which allows individual rows to be shut off when evaporating batches of less than 80 samples. Nitrogen gas flow is also controlled by an adjustable flow meter and a built-in pressure regulator.The 80 position MULTIVAP small vial evaporator uses a heated aluminum dry block to reach evaporative temperatures ranging from 30°C to 120°C. An unheated version is available for evaporations that will be performed at ambient temperatures. Sample blocks are customized, within a range of 10-17 mm, for the user’s sample size for maximum and even heat transfer.Since the heat block is made-to-order, we will request that you deliver us three sample vials for each unique vial size upon placing an order for a 30, 48 or 80 Position MULTIVAP. In situations where shipping sample vials to Organomation is not possible, we need precise measurements of your sample vials to be taken.All models can withstand contact with organic solvents; however acid resistant models are also available for use with corrosive solutions.<ul><li>Capacity: Evaporate batches of up to 80 samples at once, with outside diameters of up to 17 mm</li><li>Precise: Digital controls allow exact temperature regulation</li><li>Cost-Effective: Conserve gas by using ON/OFF valve for rows not in use</li><li>Consistent: Uniform evaporation across all samples with no adjustment needed between runs</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Organomation_80_Position_MULTIVAP_Nitrogen_Evaporator_2_8d7053713b.jpg" alt="Organomation 80 Position MULTIVAP Nitrogen Evaporator." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Organomation_80_Position_MULTIVAP_Nitrogen_Evaporator_2_8d7053713b.jpg 156w," sizes="100vw" width="1400" height="1400"><h3>STANDARD FEATURES</h3><ul><li>Adjustable flow meter, 0-25 lpm</li><li>Dual band hoist spring assembly</li><li>High temperature limit switch for safety</li><li>Safety control cover plate</li><li>Digital temperature controller</li><li>Electronic timer</li><li>Nitrogen filter</li><li>Gas distribution manifold</li><li>Built-in pressure reducing regulator</li><li>Needle guide</li></ul><h3>OPTIONS&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>220v wiring harness (Option Code# -2), Cat# 11880-2</li><li>Z-Purge/positive pressure purge case (Option Code# -Z), Cat# 11880-Z</li><li>Acid resistant coating on instrument and needles (Option Code# -RT), Cat# 11880-RT</li><li>Pasteur pipette adapters in place of needles (Option Code -P), Cat# 11880-P</li><li>Manifold and stand only: no heating platform (Option Code -O), Cat# 11880-O</li></ul><h3>SPECS</h3><h4>80 Position MULTIVAP (Dry Block)</h4><ul><li>Heater Type: Dry Block</li><li>Instrumental Catalog Number: 11880</li><li>Number of Sample Positions: 80</li><li>Overall Dimension (w × d × h): 16 × 14 × 30 in / 41 × 36 × 76 cm</li><li>Sample Holder Layout: Rectangular</li><li>Gas Manifold Layout: 8 × 10 Array</li><li>Center to Center Spacing Between Positions: 0.8 in / 2.03 cm</li><li>Test Tube Diameter: 10–17 mm OD</li><li>Gas Flow Control On/Off Valve: Every row of 8</li><li>Stainless Steel Needles (Length × Gauge): 4.0 in × 19 ga / 102 mm × 19 ga</li><li>Needle Guide: Standard</li><li>Hoist Assembly: Dual Pulley &amp; Band Springs</li><li>Integrated Control Box with Timer for Nitrogen &amp; Heat: Standard</li><li>Built-in Gas Regulator Input: 30–110 psig</li><li>Acid Resistant Coating (Option Code -RT): Optional</li></ul><h5>OA-SYS Heating Device Specifications</h5><ul><li>Model Number: 9156</li><li>Outside Dimensions: 16 × 14 × 6.5 in / 41 × 36 × 15 cm</li><li>Total Wattage: 900 W</li><li>Temperature Range: 30–120 °C</li><li>Temperature Controller Type: Digital Electronic with LED Display</li><li>Controller Accuracy: ±2 °C</li></ul><h4>80 Position MULTIVAP (No Heater)</h4><ul><li>Heater Type: None</li><li>Instrumental Catalog Number: 11880-O</li><li>Number of Sample Positions: 80</li><li>Overall Dimension (w × d × h): 13 × 15 × 26 in / 33 × 38 × 66 cm</li><li>Sample Holder Layout: Rectangular</li><li>Gas Manifold Layout: 8 × 10 Array</li><li>Center to Center Spacing Between Positions: 0.8 in / 2.03 cm</li><li>Test Tube Diameter: 10–17 mm OD</li><li>Gas Flow Control On/Off Valve: Every row of 8</li><li>Stainless Steel Needles (Length × Gauge): 4.0 in × 19 ga / 102 mm × 19 ga</li><li>Needle Guide: Standard</li><li>Hoist Assembly: Dual Pulley &amp; Band Springs</li><li>Integrated Control Box with Timer for Nitrogen &amp; Heat: N/A</li><li>Built-in Gas Regulator Input: 30–110 psig</li><li>Acid Resistant Coating (Option Code -RT): Optional</li></ul><h3>ACCESSORIES</h3><ul><li>Custom sized inserts (cat# NA1881, cat# NA1882)</li><li>Pasteur pipette adapters (cat# NA0636, cannot be used with needle guide)</li><li>Luer plugs (cat# NA1307)</li><li>Pressure reducing regulator 0-160 psi (cat# NA0630)</li><li>Various needle sizes and gauges</li></ul>

Nitrogen gas flow is also controlled by an adjustable flow meter and a built-in pressure regulator.The 100 position MULTIVAP small vial evaporator uses a heated water bath to reach evaporative temperatures ranging from 30°C to 100°C. An unheated version is available for evaporations that will be performed at ambient temperatures. Sample racks are customized within a range of 11-22 mm for the user’s sample size. Please specify sample size (outside diameter and length to nearest 0.1 mm) when placing an order. All models can withstand contact with organic solvents; however acid resistant models are also available for use with corrosive solutions.<ul><li>Capacity: Evaporate batches of up to 100 samples, with outside diameters of up to 22 mm</li><li>Precise: Digital controls allow exact temperature regulation</li><li>Optimum Heat Transfer: The water bath provides even heating and optimum heat transfer up to 100°C</li><li>Consistent: Uniform evaporation across all samples with no adjustment needed between runs</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Organomation_100_Position_MULTIVAP_Nitrogen_Evaporator_2_e617ff2a8f.jpg" alt="Organomation 100 Position MULTIVAP Nitrogen Evaporator." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Organomation_100_Position_MULTIVAP_Nitrogen_Evaporator_2_e617ff2a8f.jpg 114w," sizes="100vw" width="1054" height="1440"><h3>STANDARD FEATURES</h3><ul><li>Adjustable flow meter, 0-50 lpm</li><li>Dual band hoist spring assembly</li><li>High temperature limit switch for safety</li><li>Safety control cover plate</li><li>Digital temperature controller</li><li>Electronic timer</li><li>Nitrogen filter</li><li>Gas distribution manifold</li><li>Built-in pressure reducing regulator</li><li>Needle guide</li></ul><h3>OPTIONS&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>220v wiring harness (Option Code# -2), Cat# 11300-2</li><li>Z-Purge/positive pressure purge case (Option Code# -Z), Cat# 11300-Z</li><li>Acid resistant coating on instrument and needles (Option Code# -RT), Cat# 11300-RT</li><li>Manifold and stand only: no heating platform (Option Code -O), Cat# 11300-O</li></ul><h3>SPECS</h3><h4>100 Position MULTIVAP (Water Bath)</h4><ul><li>Heater Type: Water Bath</li><li>Instrumental Catalog Number: 11300</li><li>Number of Sample Positions: 100</li><li>Overall Dimension (w × d × h): 19 × 17 × 34 in / 48 × 43 × 86 cm</li><li>Sample Holder Layout: Square</li><li>Gas Manifold Layout: 10 × 10 Array</li><li>Center to Center Spacing Between Positions: 1.0 in / 2.54 cm</li><li>Test Tube Diameter: 11–22 mm OD</li><li>Gas Flow Control On/Off Valve: Every row of 10</li><li>Gas Flow Meter Range: 0–50 L/min</li><li>Stainless Steel Needles (Length × Gauge): 4.0 in × 19 ga / 102 mm × 19 ga</li><li>Needle Guide: Standard</li><li>Hoist Assembly: Dual Pulley &amp; Band Springs</li><li>Built-in Gas Regulator Input: 30–110 psig</li><li>Acid Resistant Coating (Option Code -RT): Optional</li></ul><h5>OA-SYS Heating Device Specifications</h5><ul><li>Model Number: 11196</li><li>Inside Dimensions (Diameter × Depth): 11 × 11 × 5.5 in / 28 × 28 × 14 cm</li><li>Outside Dimensions (w × d × h): 19 × 17 × 7 in / 48 × 43 × 18 cm</li><li>Total Wattage: 1100 W</li><li>Temperature Range: 30–100 °C</li><li>Temperature Controller Type: Digital Electronic with LED Display</li><li>Controller Accuracy: ±2 °C</li></ul><h4>100 Position MULTIVAP (No Heater)</h4><ul><li>Heater Type: None</li><li>Instrumental Catalog Number: 11300-O</li><li>Number of Sample Positions: 100</li><li>Overall Dimension (w × d × h): 14 × 14 × 26 in / 35.5 × 35.5 × 66 cm</li><li>Sample Holder Layout: Square</li><li>Gas Manifold Layout: 10 × 10 Array</li><li>Center to Center Spacing Between Positions: 1.0 in / 2.54 cm</li><li>Test Tube Diameter: 11–22 mm OD</li><li>Gas Flow Control On/Off Valve: Every row of 10</li><li>Gas Flow Meter Range: 0–50 L/min</li><li>Stainless Steel Needles (Length × Gauge): 4.0 in × 19 ga / 102 mm × 19 ga</li><li>Needle Guide: Standard</li><li>Hoist Assembly: Dual Pulley &amp; Band Springs</li><li>Built-in Gas Regulator Input: 30–110 psig</li><li>Acid Resistant Coating (Option Code -RT): Optional</li></ul><h3>ACCESSORIES</h3><ul><li>Custom sized racks (cat# NA1361)</li><li>Pasteur pipette adapters (cat# NA0636, cannot be used with needle guide)</li><li>Luer plugs (cat# NA1307)</li><li>Pressure reducing regulator 0-160 psi (cat# NA0630)</li><li>Various needle sizes and gauges</li></ul>

Phenomenex Strata X Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)

Strata-X reversed phase SPE retains neutrals, acids, and bases via π-π, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. Robust cleanup under high organic wash.

Reversed Phase Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)A reversed phase functionalized polymeric sorbent that gives strong retention of neutral, acidic, or basic compounds under aggressive, high organic wash conditions. This sorbent relies on 3 mechanisms of retention: pi-pi bonding, hydrogen bonding (dipole-dipole interactions), and hydrophobic interaction.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_Strata_X_d8f4451e42.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Strata-X" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_Strata_X_d8f4451e42.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="433" height="247"><ul><li>Recommended Use: Extraction of neutrals and aromatics</li></ul><h4>Starting Method</h4><h5>For Neutral Compounds</h5><ul><li>Column: 1 mL Methanol</li><li>Equilibrate: 1 mL Water</li><li>Load: Diluted Sample</li><li>Wash: 1 mL 5-60 % Methanol</li><li>Elute: 2x 500 µL 2 % Formic Acid in Methanol/Acetonitrile</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_Strata_X_single_tube_435d45d0ad.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Strata X single tube" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_Strata_X_single_tube_435d45d0ad.jpg 156w," sizes="100vw" width="1080" height="1080">Based on 30 mg/1 mL sorbent mass.

Organomation RapidVap N2/48 Nitrogen Evaporator

The RapidVap N₂/48 Nitrogen Evaporation System rapidly concentrates up to 48 samples using nitrogen blowdown, vortex motion, and dry block heating without the need for water baths.

The RapidVap N₂/48 Evaporation System combines nitrogen blowdown, vortex motion, and controlled heat to accelerate evaporation of up to 48 small samples or eight 450 mL samples simultaneously. A stream of nitrogen or dry gas reduces the partial pressure over the liquid, speeding solvent removal, while microprocessor-controlled vortex motion increases surface area and continuously mixes samples for maximum recovery.&nbsp;Nitrogen delivery can be applied to 2, 4, 6, or all 8 clusters of six ports, conserving gas when processing fewer samples. Using a dry block heating method, the RapidVap N₂/48 offers a reliable, low-maintenance alternative to water bath systems and is ideal for applications such as drug development, bioresearch, combinatorial chemistry, environmental testing, forensics, and toxicology.&nbsp;<ul><li>Dry Block: Dry heating system prevents potential contamination source</li><li>Increased Surface Area: Vortex motion increases surface area for faster evaporation</li><li>PTFE-Coated Chamber: Aluminum with PTFE coating for broad range of chemical compatibility</li><li>End-Point Detection: Signal completion of run allows samples to be left unattended while drying to desired end point</li></ul>In partnership with Labconco.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Organomation_Rapid_Vap_N2_48_Nitrogen_Evaporator_2_cc454a8f2d.jpg" alt="Organomation RapidVap N2_48 Nitrogen Evaporator" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Organomation_Rapid_Vap_N2_48_Nitrogen_Evaporator_2_cc454a8f2d.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="1169" height="783"><h3>STANDARD FEATURES</h3><ul><li>Dry block heating system prevents adding potential contamination source</li><li>Vortex action, heat, and vacuum combine to accelerate evaporation</li><li>PTFE-coated chamber for broad range of chemical compatibility</li><li>Microprocessor-controlled vortex motion increases surface area for faster evaporation</li><li>Signal completion of run allows samples to be left unattended while evaporation to desired end point</li><li>Microprocessor-controlled nitrogen blow down manifold to facilitate liquid to gas phase change</li></ul><h3>REQUIREMENTS (not included)</h3><ul><li>Sample block</li><li>Glassware</li><li>Nitrogen source with flow rate of 3.5 CFM/100 LPM minimu</li><li>Gas pressure regulator</li></ul><h3>OPTIONS</h3><ul><li>RS-232 Link for two-way communication (Cat# LC-7910014)</li></ul><h3>SPECIFICATIONS</h3><ul><li>Instrument: RapidVap N2/48</li><li>Instrument Catalog Number: LC-7910012</li><li>Bath Type: Dry aluminum blocks</li><li>Number of Sample Positions: Up to 48</li><li>Dimensions (w x d x h): 21.7 x 19.0 x 13.5 in</li><li>Weight: Net: 92 lbs.
