Looking for an integrated GC/MS system with a high standard of performance? Gnom has 16,000 miles of proof. The M A T 111 " G n o m " went from the production line onto a van. Then it toured the U.S. and Canada. In temperatures from below freezing to 95°F. Analyzing 800 samples w i t h o u t a malfunction—delivering good, usable spectra every time. And the compact M A T 111 has more than reliable performance going for it. It's integrated — using a Varian gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer, both designed especially for GC/MS, w i t h the magnetic sector MS giving you constant resolution and sensitivity throughout the entire 1-1000 mass range (linear or exponential). It's not just a CC hooked onto any mass spectrometer. W i t h both GC and MS made by Varian, you get single-source responsibility for the entire instrument (including data system if you want one). But the most amazing thing is operating the M A T 111 for yourself and seeing h o w easy it is to get outstanding results. You can see it at our laboratories or at one of the GC/MS seminars planned this coming year. For more information or an appointment to see the MAT 111, phone our Product Manager, Helmut Raddatz at 415-326-4000, Ext. 3045. Or write to him at: Varian MAT, 611 Hansen Way, Palo A l t o , California 94303. He'll also see that you get a schedule of forthcoming seminars.

News

If it's on the chromatogram it's on the recording. All of it.

EXACTLY. Our chromatogram-to-data converter: the Schoeffel SD 3000. You can use it for quantitative and qualitative analyses of TLC plates, gels, paper strips, electrophoretograms, films, radiogram plates, etc.. etc. Nothing is more accurate, nothing more sensitive, nothing more versatile. More SD 3000's are in use than all other research grade chromatogram analysis systems combined. The SD 3000 is the only totally intercepting, doublebeam, ratio recording chromatogram analyzer capable of true quantitation. It operates in transmission (% T, linear O.D.) or reflection (fluorescence, absorption, fluorescence quenching) modes. It has a high intensity light source, monochromators, matched photomultiplier detectors, density computer, integrating recorder. Just about any accessory you might need. It provides continuous spectral scanning over a 200 nm to 700 nm (UV-VIS) range. The SD 3000 permits rapid, automatic, non-destructive analyses of subnanogram samples (or preparative quantities) with resolution and reliability hardly approached in any other system. Care to send us a plate for analysis? A prompt demonstration in your laboratory? Literature? No problem. Just write or 'phone. Schoeffel Instrument Corp., 24 Booker Street, Westwood, N. J.

While the Farrand Xenon Arc Stabilizer costs onlv $140, tests prove that the life of a Xenon arc lamp is increased up to 50'};,. It assures lij>ht stability for analytical assays such as fluorescence emissions. If you use Xenon arcs on Farrand or other Xenon source instruments you should send for details. Farrand is a major innovator in optical-physics. Therefore its systems are characterized by higher sensitivity, accuracy, repeatability and reliability. The basic engineering being simpler, the cost usually is lower. The above advantages are incorporated in the following Farrand instruments:
