Analysis of impurities in organic solvents

The aldol reaction progresses under the influence of temperature, humidity, and light! Example of impurity analysis in ethanol and acetone.

This is an example of analyzing impurities detected in a solvent when stored in inappropriate conditions. Ethanol, which was stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place, was transferred to a used plastic wash bottle and left at room temperature for about a month. As a result, impurities such as triethyl borate and alkylbenzenes were detected. Additionally, acetone stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place was transferred to a transparent glass bottle without light protection and left at room temperature for about a month, resulting in the detection of diacetone alcohol as an impurity. [Impurity Analysis in Ethanol] - Ethanol stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place was transferred to a used plastic wash bottle and left at room temperature for about a month (the wash bottle was not sealed as the opening was exposed). - Result: Impurities such as triethyl borate and alkylbenzenes were detected. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We conduct surface analysis, foreign substance analysis, and organic composition analysis.

At AITES, we propose and conduct contract analysis menus suitable for the purpose and sample, including the analysis of organic and inorganic substances, foreign matter, and surface analysis. In this department, we perform component analysis of micro foreign substances using advanced sampling techniques, as well as impurity analysis in samples, conducting both qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic components. Additionally, we analyze the surface of samples for contamination and oxidation states. 【Service List】 ■ Component analysis of epoxy resin hardeners using Pyrolysis GC/MS ■ Analysis of micro organic foreign substances using Imaging FT-IR ■ Analysis of micro foreign substances using Micro Raman Spectroscopy ■ Ion Chromatography (IC) analysis, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a new device! We present an analytical method aimed at qualitative and quantitative analysis of components contained in samples.

We have introduced the "GC-MS Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer" manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. This is one of the analytical methods aimed at qualitative and quantitative analysis of components contained in samples, used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile organic compounds such as parts, materials, residual solvents, and additives. It is necessary for the measurement target to be gasified (with a boiling point below 300°C), but it is suitable for component analysis of mixtures due to its higher sensitivity compared to IR and RAMAN, as well as the ability to separate components in the GC section. 【Overview of GC-MS Equipment】 ■ GC-MS Main Unit: GC-2030, GCMS-QP2020 NX ■ Headspace Sampler: HS-20 ■ Pyrolysis Analyzer: Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer Py-3030 ■ Specifications ・Detection Limit: Several ppm (varies depending on the measurement target) ・Headspace: 40–300°C, sample size 13mm x 40mm or smaller ・Pyrolysis Analyzer: 50–1050°C (EGA measurement compatible), sample size up to 4mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce examples of comparing the components of color developers contained in thermal paper using solvent extraction!

As a pre-treatment for GC-MS analysis, solvent extraction can sometimes allow for highly sensitive analysis of target substances. This document introduces examples of component comparison of dirt wiped with a cloth and component comparison of color developers contained in thermal paper using solvent extraction. In addition to solvent extraction, we can propose suitable methods from various pre-treatment techniques tailored to your samples and analysis targets, so please feel free to contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when leaving the parking lot in my car..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Departure Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel including the controller and switching power supply (24V) is required when using the departure warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
