Wiley, a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence, today announced the launch of its spectral analysis application programming interface (API) portfolio, providing users with a new, faster way to access its trusted spectral data, analytical algorithms, and predictive models—within their own workflows.Wiley has one of the most comprehensive and trusted collections of scientific reference databases in the world, relied upon as a gold standard for identifying unknown chemical compounds by laboratories, instrument vendors, and software platforms across pharmaceuticals, forensics, environmental science, chemicals, food, materials, and other fields. The new portfolio extends the data and tools into modern, API-driven environments—allowing users to integrate high-quality spectral intelligence directly into their own systems and workflows.As sample volumes grow and lab workflows become more automated and software-driven, identifying and verifying compounds quickly and reliably becomes even more critical. The new API portfolio meets that need directly, giving labs and platforms a faster way to complete the process, whether catching a quality issue on a production line or identifying an unknown compound in the field. The result is less manual effort, faster analysis, and more confidence in the answer.The launch builds on Wiley's mission to transform knowledge into actionable intelligence for corporate and academic researchers around the world."Speed matters when you're trying to identify an unknown substance; a delayed analysis can mean an assembly line sitting idle or a forensic lab holding up a case,” said Armughan Rafat, Wiley senior vice president and chief AI and data services officer. “We've spent decades building the reference data this industry trusts. Now, by making that spectral data and analytical intelligence available through APIs, we're setting the standard for how labs and vendors turn unknowns into answers faster and at scale."<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Wiley_API_spectral_search_5bfcb1dd9b.png" alt="Wiley: spectral analysis API" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Wiley_API_spectral_search_5bfcb1dd9b.png 128w," sizes="100vw" width="802" height="977"><h5>The API portfolio launches with four core capabilities:</h5><ul><li>Spectral Database Search API – Query Wiley’s comprehensive reference collections for rapid compound identification.</li><li>Spectrum-Structure Validation API – Confirm proposed chemical structures against experimental spectral data.</li><li>Compound Classification API – Classify unknown substances, including drugs, based on compound class.</li><li>Spectra Prediction API – Generate predicted spectra to support research, method development, and validation.</li></ul>Unlike fragmented in-house databases or instrument-specific solutions, these APIs offer a continuously curated, vendor-neutral foundation that supports multi-technique workflows, regulatory compliance, and cross-platform interoperability. As a result, laboratories can increase throughput, minimize downtime, and protect the value of the instrumentation and data in which they've already invested.<h4>Spectral Databases &amp; APIs</h4>Spectral databases contain unique molecular “fingerprints” of substances captured through analytical techniques such as infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. By comparing experimental spectra against validated reference data, researchers can accurately identify unknown compounds across a wide range of applications.An API is a common way for computer systems, from lab instruments to software platforms, to request information from one another and get an answer back automatically.<blockquote>For more information about the Wiley spectral analysis API portfolio, please <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sciencesolutions.wiley.com/spectral-analysis-apis/">visit this website</a></blockquote><h4>About Wiley</h4>Wiley is a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence for the advancement of scientific discovery, innovation, and learning.

Instrument Limit of Quantification (iLOQ) of 0.1&nbsp;ppm was achieved using internal standard calibration. A solvent-based calibration range was established from 0.1 to 4&nbsp;ppm.<h4>Experimental</h4><h5>GC parameters</h5><ul><li>Inlet Temperature: 240&nbsp;°C&nbsp;</li><li>Analytical Column: DB-WAX GC column, 30&nbsp;m × 0.25&nbsp;mm, 0.50&nbsp;µm&nbsp;</li><li>Injection Volume: 1&nbsp;µL&nbsp;</li><li>Column Flow: Helium; 1.0&nbsp;mL/min, constant flow&nbsp;</li><li>Injection Mode: Split (20:1)&nbsp;</li><li>Oven Program: Start at 130&nbsp;°C (hold for 4&nbsp;min), ramp at 17&nbsp;°C/min to 195&nbsp;°C (hold for 4&nbsp;min), then at 35&nbsp;°C/min to 240&nbsp;°C (hold for 4&nbsp;min).&nbsp;</li><li>MS Transfer Line Temperature: 240&nbsp;°C&nbsp;</li></ul><h5>MS Parameters&nbsp;</h5><ul><li>SIM Ions: 31, 33, 43, 75, 113&nbsp;</li><li>Ion Source Temperature: 230&nbsp;°C&nbsp;</li><li>Quadrupole Temperature (Q1 and Q2): 150&nbsp;°C</li></ul><h4>Conclusion&nbsp;</h4>A sensitive and robust method was optimized for analysis of EG and DEG in oral syrups containing glycerin. The method uses an internal standard calibration using 2,2,2-trichloroethanol. Instrument LOQ was established at 0.1&nbsp;ppm level for both EG and DEG. This method meets the requirements per US FDA recommendations for EG and DEG testing.1 Therefore, this study demonstrates the usefulness of the developed method for routine analysis of oral syrup samples for EG and DEG analysis using GC/MS.<h3>2. Shimadzu / AOAC: Investigation of Varietal Classification Method for Coffee Beans Using Aroma Compounds</h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/aoac_2026_17_e6687812af.pdf">Full PDF for download</a></li></ul>Common coffee bean species are broadly classified into two types: Coffea arabica (Arabica) and Coffea canephora (Robusta). Among them, Arabica is superior in flavor and is highly favored as a specialty beverage. However, in recent years, there have been multiple reports of products sold claiming to be 100% Arabica while being adulterated with Robusta1) . A reported method for discriminating between the two is the analysis of lipophilic extracts of coffee beans using a benchtop NMR spectrometer1) . This method uses 16- O-Methylcafestol, which is present in Robusta but almost undetectable in Arabica, as a marker. However, it requires complicated pretreatment such as extraction and concentration. Therefore, in this Application News, we investigated a method to discriminate between Arabica and Robusta more easily and rapidly using GC-MS/MS and the statistical analysis software eMSTAT Solution.<h4>Methods</h4><h5>Analytical Methods&nbsp;</h5>Volatile compounds were concentrated and introduced into the GC-MS using the HS-SPME method and then analyzed under the conditions registered in the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=Smart+Aroma+Database">GCMS(/MS) Smart Aroma Database </a>(Table 2). The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=GCMS-TQTM8040+NX">GCMS-TQTM8040 NX</a> and the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/gcms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=AOC-6000">AOC-6000 multifunctional autosampler</a> system were used as the analytical instruments (Fig. 1). To verify whether rapid analysis is possible, a temperature ramp of 10˚C/min was adopted, and a low-polarity column was used to obtain stable retention times for each compound. Data acquisition was performed in Scan mode or MRM mode, and each sample was analyzed three times.<h4>Conclusions&nbsp;</h4><ul><li>Clear Group Separation: Statistical analysis (PCA and cluster analysis) of data acquired in highly sensitive MRM mode clearly separated the two coffee bean types into distinct groups.&nbsp;</li><li>Successful Discrimination: Our investigation suggested that the discrimination of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans based on aroma compounds is possible using the GCMS-TQ8040 NX, the Smart Aroma Database, and eMSTAT Solution.&nbsp;</li><li>Intuitive and Comprehensive Workflow: Using eMSTAT Solution, statistical analysis and the creation of discrimination models can be easily performed without advanced expertise. Additionally, this method provides a comprehensive workflow that allows for the qualitative identification of key compounds contributing significantly to the discrimination</li></ul><h3>3.

Watrex LSS-205 Liquid Sensing System

Liquid Sensing System LSS-205 is a universal sensing system for monitoring the level of your chromatographic system liquids.

Universal sensing system for monitoring the level of your chromatographic system liquids. The daily task in the chromatographic laboratory is the manipulation of mobil phases. The operator must check the supply of solvents at the inlet of the device and regular monitor the condition of the waste solvent container. The LSS-205 greatly simplifies these tasks.<blockquote>Price: 578<bdi>&nbsp;€ ex VAT</bdi></blockquote>LSS-205 is a universal accessory for any (chromatographic) system. The level sensors used in the LSS-205 system are contactless, do not require immersion in liquid, and are installed on the outer shell of a non-metallic solvent container. The method of mounting the sensor allows placement on a container of virtually any shape and size.The LSS-205 central unit is ready to process the signal from up to five liquid sensors, which can be individually set to trigger an alarm in the event of a missing or present liquid. The error status of the individual sensors is indicated optically directly on the central unit and the alarm can be accompanied by an acoustic signal. An external loud siren suitable for a noisy environment is available as an option to the central unit.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Watrex_LSS_205_Liquid_Sensing_System_33_0fd5d29a02/Watrex-LSS-205-Liquid-Sensing-System-33.jpg" alt="Watrex LSS-205 Liquid Sensing System"><h3>FEATURES</h3><ul><li>Simple operation</li><li>Flexible in application</li><li>Multiple connection option</li><li>Starter kit contents: central unit, one sensor, light bar, power supply</li><li>Color touch panel control</li></ul><h3>TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION</h3><ul><li>Power supply: 5V DC (wall mount power supply or USB port of PC)</li><li>Number of liquid sensors: 1 – 5</li><li>Alarm condition: individually adjustable for each sensor (off, missing liquid, liquid present)</li><li>Internal alarm indication: high intensity LED for each sensor</li><li>Internal acoustic alarm: 80dB, common for all sensors</li><li>External optical signaling: connector on the central unit</li><li>External acoustic alarm: optional 105 dB external horn</li><li>Alarm signal for external devices: logic (open collector), relay switching contact</li><li>Computer connection: micro USB connector, simple text communication protocol</li><li>Firmware update: possible in field</li><li>Dimension: 130x80x30 mm</li><li>Weight: 250 g</li><li>Sensor dimensions: 50x30x15 mm</li><li>Sensor connection cable: 2 m length</li><li>Sensor mounting: plastic holder with flexible silicon tube (length 700 mm, other lengths on request)</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Watrex_LSS_205_Liquid_Sensing_System_6_7b35aadbb7/Watrex-LSS-205-Liquid-Sensing-System-6.jpg" alt="Watrex LSS-205 Liquid Sensing System - level sensor"><h3>Ordering information:</h3><h5>PN/Component:</h5><ul><li>40-0728 Starter Kit (incl. 1 sensor + light)</li><li>40-0738 LSS-205 Additional Sensor</li><li>40-0841 LSS-205 Additional 2 Sensors</li><li>40-0842 LSS-205 Additional 3 Sensors</li><li>40-0843 LSS-205 Additional 4 Sensors</li><li>40-0838 LSS-205 External Alarm Horn</li></ul>You can also visit this product on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://watrex.com/obchod/chromatography/dedicated-instruments/lss-205-starter-kit/?utm_source=labrulez&amp;utm_medium=propagace&amp;utm_campaign=labrulez_produkty">Watrex website</a>.
