GC/MS Extranuclear Laboratories sim plifies organic analysis in the mass range of 3-1200 amu with the spectrEL GC/MS. Versatile design allows the vacuum sys tem to accept a batch inlet or solids probe in addition to the GC. Data systems can be cou pled to the instrument.
GC/MSwithSimultaneousCI/EI SIMULSCAN, the latest devel opment in GC/MS, provides simultaneous but separate CI/ΕΙ spectra for the same sample combining the struc tural and fingerprint character istics of El with the high sensitivity and simpler molec ular ion spectra of CI. Atmospheric Pressure Ionization This most efficient ionization technique for MS is capable of detecting ultratrace quantities of drugs, pesticides and haz ardous chemicals 2(for example, 1 part TNT in 10' parts air), •plus -SIMS For surface analysis and depth profiling, "plus"-SIMS offers higher sensitivity, full elemen tal and isotope coverage and high mass analysis as an add on instrument to Auger and ESCA systems. Modulated Beam Mass Spectrometer An instrument of innovative design that separates sample from background spectrum, preserves sample identity, and examines samples unaccept able to conventional MS. Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer Components Extranuclear provides a vari ety of QMS components with a combination available to solve specific analytical problems. Special Systems Special systems for negative ions, phase s p e c t r o m e t r y , Knudsen cell studies, isotopic ratios, flame analysis, and molecular beam experiments are available.
chemistry Reader Survey Results A large majority, 85.2%, of respondents to t h e November Reader Survey on Federal regulations believe t h a t scientists need new mechanisms to m a k e their views known to Federal authorities. Only 2 1 % believe t h a t the scientific d a t a used as the basis for t h e formulation of regulations are a d e q u a t e . However, only a slight majority, 58.8%, feel t h a t the n u m b e r a n d kind of Federal regula tions t h a t impinge upon t h e work of chemists are excessive.
