Markes International will be attending PittCon, Chicago in March 2009. In addition to exhibiting a new and exciting range of products and product enhancements, the company will be giving eight (8) papers (oral and poster):

• Identifying known trace target compounds within complex material emissions profiles by employing novel Principle Component Analysis (PCA) in combination with pattern recognition software
• The application of thermal desorption to aroma profiling: Sampling options for solids, liquids and gases
• Low cost screening of chemical emissions from products and materials as an aid to assessing “accidental release” scenarios for REACH legislation
• Introducing a new high sensitivity benchtop Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (BenchTOF-dx™), incorporating on-line spectral Dynamic Background Compensation (DBC).
• Introducing a new advanced data reprocessing software for mass spectrometry from ALMSCO International (a division of Markes International)
• Recent advances in the analysis of semi-volatile organic compounds using thermal desorption-GC-MS
• Analytical tools for product development, quality control and trouble shooting in the tobacco industry
• Recent enhancements to monitoring volatiles in air by thermal desorption
