We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Organic Compounds",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Determining volatile organics by EPA method 8260 from
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ability of the analytical instrumentation to simultaneously satisfy requirements of multiple methods provides a distinct advantage for the production-oriented
laboratory".
The day before,
we featured the news release Next generation VOC identification, quantitation from
Syft Technologies: "The increased sensitivity, functionality and vehicle mounted mobile capability of the Voice200, as well as its competitive pricing model, are raising strong commercial interest in the market".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Metrohm UK
concerning its 873 Rancimat
- take a look at Oxidative stability of diesel and biodiesel
which says: "The Metrohm 873 is specifically designed to analyse the oxidative stability of biodiesel, diesel and blends".
Take a look also at the news release from Agilent Technologies Europe, Agilent plans to extend triple-quad's mass range,
as well as A new instrument for the new biodiesel market from Metrohm UK,
and High-temperature oven gives ultra-clean glassware from Carbolite (Barloworld Scientific).
