These factors typically result in analysis times exceeding one hour, higher operational costs, and limited sample throughput. Detailed aroma profiling, such as for lavandin essential oil, is nonetheless critical for understanding complex chemical composition, identifying key aroma-active compounds, and assessing compositional variability between samples.&nbsp;</p><p>Fast GC-TOFMS, using hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) as the carrier gas, offers an effective solution for the rapid analysis of complex essential oil matrices. Optimized temperature programming and high oven heating rates significantly reduces analysis time while maintaining chromatographic resolution. The Pegasus BTX GC-TOFMS system generates highly detailed datasets, which are efficiently processed using ChromaTOF Sync software for automated peak detection, chromatographic alignment, and non-targeted comparison across multiple samples. Here three lavandin oil varieties (Lavandin Oil Abrialis, Grosso, and Super) were analyzed and compared using this workflow to investigate compositional differences and identify discriminant compounds, with selected results highlighting some relevant findings.</p><h4><strong>Experimental&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Three varieties of lavandin essential oil samples, namely Abrialis, Grosso, and Super, were analyzed using fast GC-TOFMS (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/all/products/1097"><strong>LECO Pegasus BTX</strong></a>) after appropriate dilution in n-hexane. &nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/all/products/82"><strong>Auto Sampler - LECO L-PAL 3</strong></a>, Gas Chromatograph - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=8890"><strong>Agilent 8890</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><h4><strong>Conclusions&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>This application note demonstrates that fast GC-TOFMS using the Pegasus BTX system is a powerful and reliable solution for the rapid characterization of lavandin essential oils. The use of H, and fast temperature programming dramatically reduces run time while maintaining analytical performance.&nbsp;</p><p>The integration of ChromaTOF Sync is critical for handling complex datasets, enabling efficient peak alignment, non-targeted profiling, and robust comparison of multiple samples. Together, this workflow supports rapid aroma profiling, identification of key discriminant compounds, and confident differentiation of lavandin essential oil varieties.</p><h3><strong>2. Shimadzu: Characterization and Temporal Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Released in Response to Plant Stress</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/an_01_01240_en_d5914fb564.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h5><strong>User Benefits</strong></h5><ul><li>MonoTrap is well suited for field sampling because it is easy to transfer and store, enabling collection of plant-derived VOCs.&nbsp;</li><li>Plant-derived VOCs can be analyzed without the complicated pretreatment procedure such as solvent extraction.&nbsp;</li><li>This analysis system is ideal for measuring time-dependent changes in VOCs associated with plant stress responses</li></ul><p>Plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to stressors such as changes in growing conditions and physical damage. These VOCs are known to have various physiological functions, including repelling herbivorous insects, enhancing resistance against pathogens, and facilitating plant-to-plant communication. For example, green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are a group of fatty acid-derived C6 VOCs released in response to stressors such as herbivore damage and pathogenic infection, and are reported to play an important role in plant defense response.<sup>1) </sup>However, VOCs sampling from living plants is labor-intensive because collection equipment must be carried in the field.&nbsp;</p><p>This Application News describes the collection of VOCs released from plant leaves in response to cutting and ultraviolet stress using MonoTrap, followed by analysis using a thermal desorption GC-MS system. VOC profiles generated under different stress conditions were compared, and time-dependent changesin VOCs emissions were evaluated.</p><h4><strong>Advantages of MonoTrap&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>MonoTrap is an adsorbent consisting of a monolith silica substrate and characterized by its ability to efficiently collect VOCs. Its large surface area enables the adsorption of a wide range of compounds from small molecules to medium- and high-boiling point components. MonoTrap is compatible with various desorption techniques, including solvent extraction and thermal desorption. Because it is small in size, and easy to handle, MonoTrap is ideal for sampling in the field, offering excellent ease of use, transport, and storage, making it well suited for field sampling of VOCs and environmental gases. In this study, a MonoTrap RGC18 TD (Cat.No.:1050-74201, GL Sciences) designed for thermal desorption-based analysis was used. After VOC collection, the MonoTrap was simply placed in a glass thermal desorption tube for analysis (Fig. 2). This approach simplifies the workflow from sampling to analysis, and helps reduce the variability between operators.</p><h4><strong>Analysis Conditions&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The MonoTrap was placed in a glass tube for thermal desorption, which was set in a TD-30R thermal desorption system.&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>GC Model:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=2030"><strong>Nexis GC-2030&nbsp;</strong></a></li><li><strong>MS Model: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=QP2050"><strong>GCMS-QP2050</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>VOCs released from plant leaves in response to cutting and ultraviolet stress were collected using MonoTrap and analyzed by thermal desorption GC-MS system. The results showed that both the stress response compounds and the amounts of VOCs released varied depending on the stress conditions. GLVs such as 3-hexenal and 3-hexen-1-ol were detected under cutting stress. In addition, time-dependent changes in response compounds during UV irradiation were successfully monitored. MonoTrap for thermal desorption does not require complicated sample processing such as solvent extraction, and can be combined with a thermal desorption GC-MS system to streamline proceduresfrom sampling to qualitative analysis.</p><h3><strong>3. Waters Corporation: Analysis of Halogenated Flame Retardants Using Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization GC-MS/MS</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/720009617_en_99b33dbd75.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h5><strong>Benefits</strong></h5><ul><li>The ability of the atmospheric pressure gas chromatography APGC™ ionization source on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/all/products/554"><strong>Xevo™ TQ Absolute System</strong></a> to tolerate high carrier gas flow and an increased number of MRM transitions helps the implementation of the N2 carrier gas method using the same analytical column, reducing the need for reanalysis of samples, and contributes to a more matrix-independent method</li><li>Operator training is reduced to weeks from months through conversion of the method from a magnetic sector to a tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer</li><li>Use of a single, inexpensive, readily available gas for chromatographic separation, ionization and MS/MS fragmentation provides an overall simpler, more sustainable analysis</li></ul><p>Despite both voluntary and regulatory bans on the continued use of many HFRs, there remains a need to monitor for their presence in environmental matrices because of their previous widespread use, persistence, environmental transport, and potential toxicity. For decades, analysts have relied on magnetic sector EI GCHRMS instruments for this work due to the sensitivity, specificity and dynamic range they provide. In recent years, however, these systems have increasingly been hindered by inherent limitations of the technology such as slow acquisition rates, operational complexity and a lack of adaptability to more sustainable methods. Tandem quadrupole MS/MS is well established in its ability to perform highly accurate, precise and reproducible quantification of analytes in complex matrices across a wide dynamic range. Commercial GC-APCI systems have demonstrated highly sensitive analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) for over a decade.1,2 Combining these two techniques in a single system has demonstrated the ability to replace magnetic sectors in challenging analyses such as dioxin and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) monitoring.3-5 In this work, a list of 21 HFRs was analyzed on a Xevo TQ Absolute Mass Spectrometer using the APGC ionization source with nitrogen (N2) carrier gas. A discussion of adapting existing methods for the use of N2 carrier gas is included, as well as a database of MRM transitions that were developed.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><p>The instrumental method for this work has been described previously.6 As in that method, a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/all/products/554"><strong>Xevo TQ Absolute tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer</strong></a> coupled with an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=8890"><strong>8890 gas chromatograph (Agilent)</strong></a><strong> </strong>and fitted with the APGC ionization source was used for the measurements. The column was an Rtx®-1614, 15 m x 0.25 mm ID x 0.10 µm film (Restek) using an initial temperature of 110 °C then ramped to 210 °C at 10 °C/min, ramped to 260 °C at 20 °C/min held 1 minute, ramped to 310 °C at 10 °C/min, ramped to 330 °C at 40 °C/min with a final hold of 5 minutes for a total 24.5 minute runtime. One microliter pulsed splitless injections on the split/splitless (SSL) injector at 260 °C were used with a 0.5 minute pressure pulse to 20 psi. The use of a pressure pulse during injection is an important adaptation when converting He-based carrier gas methods to N2 carrier since the optimum linear velocity, and thus flowrate, for N2 is lower than He.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>An all-nitrogen configuration with APGC on a Xevo TQ Absolute System was successfully applied to the analysis of HFRs by adapting a He carrier gas reference method previously used on magnetic sector EI GC-HRMS systems. Total runtime and separation efficiency of the N2 carrier gas method was comparable to the He-based reference method without the need for column scaling. This was achieved through the use of carrier gas flow ramping using flow rates that cannot be accommodated by conventional vacuum-source EI GC/MS systems.&nbsp;</p><p>The move to tandem quadrupole MS from high resolution MS updates the method for improved performance measures such as higher acquisition speeds and high specificity MS/MS while also requiring reduced training time and expertise as compared with magnetic sectors. Future work will investigate the method in more detail and explore the possible combination of HFRs and PBDEs into a single analytical method.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>

PV cells, which are typically made from crystalline silicon, are key to solar technology. The efficiency, cost, and durability of the cells largely depend on the materials used.3,4&nbsp;</p><p>PV architectures are fundamentally built upon high-purity silicon ingots— a monocrystalline or polycrystalline mass of semiconductor-grade silicon, typically formed via the Czochralski or directional solidification process.5 These ingots are sliced into thin wafers that serve as the substrate for solar cell fabrication. In this process, doped regions and junctions are engineered to facilitate charge carrier separation and enable the conversion of incident solar radiation into electrical energy via the PV effect.6 Figure 1 depicts the manufacturing process for a PV panel.</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=8900"><strong>Agilent 8900 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ)</strong></a> is an advanced analytical platform engineered for ultratrace elemental analysis in high-purity materials such as polysilicon used in PV manufacturing. Its unique tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) configuration—comprising two quadrupoles (Q1 and Q2) separated by a collision/reaction cell—enables exceptional control over ion selection and reaction chemistry. Q1 acts as a mass filter to isolate target precursor ions, allowing only specific m/z values into the cell, while Q2 analyzes product ions formed after controlled reactions with gases such as O2, H2, or NH3. This design effectively eliminates complex spectral interferences, including polyatomic and isobaric overlaps that are particularly problematic in high-silicon matrices. As a result, the 8900 achieves sub-parts-per-trillion (ppt) detection limits for critical impurities like alkali and alkaline earth elements that are otherwise difficult to quantify accurately using conventional ICP-MS. Also, its high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and robust plasma conditions ensure reliable quantification across varying concentration levels. These capabilities make the 8900 ICP-QQQ a useful instrument for QC and contamination monitoring in the semiconductor and solar industries, where even trace impurities can significantly impact PV cell efficiency and performance.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>An Agilent 8900 ICP‑QQQ, configured with an s‑lens ion optics system to enhance ion transmission efficiency and sensitivity, was used for the simultaneous quantification of 58 trace and ultratrace elements in two polycrystalline silicon ingot samples. Sample preparation was carried out by acid extraction in accordance with the GB/T 24582‑2023 standard.&nbsp;</p><p>Ultratrace detection at sub‑ppt levels was achieved using MS/MS (triple quadrupole) mode, utilizing multiple reaction gases to systematically mitigate spectral interferences via mass‑shift and on‑mass reaction pathways. This approach enabled selective removal of polyatomic interferences commonly associated with silicon matrices, thereby improving analyte selectivity and lowering background noise. The method exhibited strong analytical precision, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 10% across six replicate measurements, indicating consistent signal stability, efficient interference control, and robust instrumental performance.&nbsp;</p><p>The 0.1 µg/L spike‑recovery results within ± 20% confirmed the accuracy of the quantification. The internal standard recoveries verified stable instrument performance and effective correction for matrix‑induced signal variation, further supporting reliable multi‑element analysis of high‑purity silicon. This level of reliability is essential for maintaining accuracy at sub‑ppb levels in challenging silicon matrices.&nbsp;</p><p>The 8900 ICP-QQQ method is well aligned with the demands of advanced manufacturing environments. It is particularly suited to PV production, where precise and reproducible impurity monitoring is vital for ensuring material quality, optimizing process control, and preserving device performance.</p><h3><strong>2. LECO: Metallography of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/METALLOGRAPHY_ALUMINUM_ALUMINUM_ALLOY_203_821_722_c024278c37.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Aluminum has become a widely used material due to its natural corrosion resistance (oxide layer), manageable weight, high thermal conductivity, and cost-effective machinability. Pure Aluminum is too soft for structural use, so it is often alloyed with other metals such as Copper, Magnesium, Silicon, Zinc, and Manganese to increase its strength and durability for aerospace, automotive, and construction applications. Metallography is an important tool for verifying quality control properties in these materials, including grain size, intermetallic phases, precipitates, and porosity, all of which affect mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. LECO offers complete metallographic solutions made to streamline and optimize every step of the sample preparation process from start to finish.</p><h4><strong>Sample Sectioning&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>With any metallographic sample, the most critical step of sample preparation is sectioning. The goal of sectioning is to remove a suitable-sized sample from a larger component with the least amount of deformation. If done incorrectly, thermal damage may occur to the sample's surface, requiring extra steps in the grinding/polishing phase. It could even affect the sample's microstructure, resulting in skewed image analysis results. In extreme cases, it may even require an operator to resection the sample, leading to additional costs and loss of valuable time. To increase efficiency, it is important to choose the correct blade and fixture for your sample.&nbsp;</p><p>LECO recommends the use of a Silicon Carbide blade (SiC) for sectioning Aluminum alloys, as they are designed for soft non-ferrous metals, allowing minimal deformation and efficient heat dissipation. The SiC abrasives prevent smearing and tearing, outperforming harder Iron-focused blades on Aluminum structure. LECO offers a variety of fixturing options to accommodate even the most difficult geometries for sectioning (Figures 4 and 5). Fixturing the sample properly is critical to stabilize the sample to prevent unnecessary vibrations and release of the sample during the cutting process.&nbsp;</p><p>If thermal degradation occurs after taking these necessary measures, it could be the sectioning method. Although chop cutting (Z-Axis) is the traditional form of operation with sectioning saws, it may be advantageous to try a pulse or planar cut that would provide more relief in the process. This could also be the case for an Aluminum part with complex geometry.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>In summary, Aluminum and its alloys remain essential to modern engineering due to their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and adaptability. Ensuring these materials meet the demanding requirements of aerospace, automotive, and structural applications depends on precise metallographic evaluation. By characterizing grain structures, intermetallic phases, precipitates, and porosity, metallography provides critical insight into material performance, durability, and quality.&nbsp;</p><p>LECO supports this process with a full suite of metallographic solutions designed to enhance efficiency and consistency at every stage of preparation. From robust sectioning systems that ensure clean, controlled cuts, to reliable mounting equipment that protects and preserves sample integrity, LECO enables repeatable, high-quality preparation. Our advanced grinding and polishing platforms deliver uniform, scratch-free surfaces ready for evaluation, while our comprehensive image analysis software provides accurate, data-driven characterization of microstructural features. Together, these tools offer a streamlined, end-to-end workflow that empowers laboratories to maintain stringent quality control and achieve confident, repeatable results.</p><h3><strong>3.

Steel contains various elements, and the types and concentrations of these elements significantly influence its properties. Accordingly, elemental analysis is essential for quality assurance and performance control.&nbsp;</p><p>The elements in steel range from trace constituents to major components, with concentrations spanning a broad range from mg/L levels to percentage levels. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is well suited to the analysis of elements across such a wide concentration range. It enables highly accurate quantitative analysis from trace elementsto major components.&nbsp;</p><p>This Application News presents an analysis example of a stainless-steel certified reference material using the Shimadzu ICPE-9820 multi-type ICP atomic emission spectrometer.</p><h4><strong>Analysis Conditions&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=ICPE-9820"><strong>ICPE-9820</strong></a><strong> </strong>enables simultaneous analysis using two view orientations: axial view (AX), which offers higher sensitivity, and radial view (RD), which is suitable for high-concentration analysis.&nbsp;</p><p>For major element analysis, quantification was performed using the calibration curve method with the internal standard method. For trace element analysis, quantification was performed using the standard addition method.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>In this Application News, trace and major elements in a stainless-steel certified reference material were analyzed using the ICPE-9820. The measured values showed good agreement with the certified values.&nbsp;</p><p>The sample introduction system, consisting of a torch for highconcentration salt solution samples and a water bubbler, effectively prevented sensitivity loss from salt deposition. At the same time, the use of a Twister spray chamber enabled finer particle-size selection, thereby improving analytical accuracy for high-salt samples.&nbsp;</p><p>In addition, the ICPE-9820 employs a vacuum spectrometer, enabling rapid startup and fast analysis in the vacuum ultraviolet region (wavelengths below 190 nm).</p><h3><strong>4.

As high-grade phosphorite deposits become increasingly depleted, mining operations must process lower-grade and more compositionally variable phosphate ores. This trend places greater emphasis on rapid, accurate elemental analysis to support exploration, grade control, process optimization, and compliance with environmental regulations. Handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) has become a key analytical tool for these applications by providing fast, non-destructive, multi-element analysis directly in the field or at the production site.</p><h5><strong>Handheld XRF for rapid phosphate ore analysis&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>Handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) analyzers have emerged as valuable tools for on-site elemental analysis of the major and penalty elements in phosphate ores. The analyzers’ portability, ease of use, and ability to deliver analytical results within seconds make them ideal for rapid decision-making in mining exploration as well as mining operations for guiding extraction, stockpile management, quality control and environmental monitoring. While handheld XRF does not replace laboratorygrade analysis for certification purposes, it provides immediate compositional information that can significantly improve operational efficiency.&nbsp;</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/all/products/1992"><strong>Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus Handheld XRF Analyzer </strong></a>(Figure 1a) combines a compact, lightweight design with advanced analytical performance for field-based elemental analysis.
