Nesvax Innovations Limited Successfully Installs Analytik Jena’s Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy System at Yana Oils Limited in Nairobi, Kenya.

Nesvax Innovations Limited, a leading provider of laboratory and analytical solutions, is pleased to announce the successful installation of Analytik Jena’s Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) system at Yana Oils Limited, a prominent petroleum company based in Nairobi, Kenya.

Measurement of samples or items in a laboratory is a very significant operation. However, there are several types of laboratory balances available to choose from. Each with different features and recommendation for use. How do you know which one to use and in what circumstances? Before buying a balance, here are a few questions to consider; – the application that will be measured, the maximum capacity needed, and the accuracy needed. Nesvax Innovations’ Biochemist Eric Mbai shares

Hydrogen gas has many uses in the lab. Often required as a carrier gas or a fuel gas in GC applications, hydrogen supplied by an on-site hydrogen generator is the safer and cost-effective alternative to pressurized cylinders. But which H2 generator should you opt for?

When making the switch from pressurized cylinders to an on-site hydrogen generator, there are a couple of considerations to make which can help you buy the right hydrogen generator model for your lab

ROI for lab supplying multiple LC-MS instruments, fume hoods & for sample prepTypical usage: 240LPM (14.4 m3/hr), 98% purity, 12hrs per day, 5 days per week (Cylinders)

A nitrogen cylinder delivery contract may seem like the easiest way to manage your laboratory budget, however, the purchase of a nitrogen gas generator is a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to secure ongoing nitrogen gas supply. While the initial outlay for cylinders is low, contracts are often

Charged Aerosol Detection (CAD) is a detector with high sensitivity and good repeatability used to detect most non-volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. Its uses cover a wide range of applications, including analysis of pharmaceutical ingredients, analysis of natural products, and analysis of sugars, proteins and surfactants.

Nitrogen gas plays multiple roles of atomization, drying and collision charging in the CAD process. The higher the purity and the stability of the nitrog

Chromium is a key ingredient in a number of metal alloys used for metal implants which, despite being coated with inert surface layer coatings, can break down over time as a result of biocorrosion.

Leeching of metal ions from implants into surrounding bone, tissue, and body fluids can cause severe health problems. Although the toxicity of the metal is low, there is a potential health risk if chromium ions enter the body. In inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS),

Dr. Akiyoshi Hirayama, Project Assistant Professor at Keio University in Japan, tells us about his positive experience after switching from helium to hydrogen as carrier gas for his team’s GC research in metabolomics.

From cost savings to consistent purity -  the benefits of an on-site nitrogen generator are numerous for labs requiring a reliable source of nitrogen gas. A common type of such nitrogen gas generators is one with one or more integrated compressors. But how do compressor-based nitrogen gas generators actually work?

When a nitrogen generator produces nitrogen gas, the generator does not create nitrogen by itself. Rather, nitrogen gas present in air (roughly 78% of air is nitr

Laser ablation is becoming a popular technique for direct solid sampling in analytical chemistry. But what exactly is laser ablation and why would you need a nitrogen generator for it?

Laser ablation is a process in which a laser beam is used to remove a portion of mass from a sample, usually as a sampling method for isotopic or elemental analysis of a solid sample. The mass from the sampling material is exposed to intense laser energy, as photon emissions are monitored at
