Table 1.2 gives some of the reasons for the LGC setting up its automation team. The primary motivation was economic. LGC was often subject to constraints on staffing in parallel with large increases in analytical commitments. The introduction of cost-effective analyses, using mechanical or automatic instruments, reduces staff involvement and allows well qualified people to be released for the development of new analytical requirements. The analysis of beer samples by multi-channel continuous flow analyser [S, 6, 7] and the introduction of a mechanical solvent extraction and identification system to analyse and measure levels of quinizarin in gas oil, both for duty purposes, were prime examples [8], Both systems involved commercially available components and/or instruments integrated with modules designed and built in-house. 

Novel instrumentation integrates capillary HPLC (cHPLC)-NMR, CE-NMR, and CEC-NMR and provides extreme versatility [29,49]. A number of CE-NMR and CEC-NMR applications performed with this integrated instrumentation have been described. In this system, saddle-type coils with 240-400-nL observe volumes increase the sensitivity and avoid current-induced magnetic field gradients. A mixture of lysine and histidine has been analyzed in a continuous-flow CE experiment with a detection limit of 336 ng (2.3 nmol) [29],...

Aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS) is used to monitor the chemical composition of particulate matter in the atmosphere. Commercial AMS instruments can provide size and chemical mass loading data on aerosol particles in real time [176]. Such instruments integrate sampling and MS analysis sub-systems. They can be installed permanently or used as components of mobile laboratories [176]. Both quadrupole and TOF AMS devices can provide quantitative data on the chemical composition of volatile/semi-volatile submicrometer aerosols [177]. Importantly, AMS can provide non-refractory aerosol mass...

So the new era was born, and continuous improvements were introduced. More sophisticated models incorporated all the frills and features of modern instrumentation—integrated circuits, microprocessor chips, automatic calibration, and computer readout. Thus, today, in the late 1980s, an inexperienced technician can measure the pH with a relatively high precision without understanding the instrumental design or even the concept of pH. We have come a long way. 

As the planar counterpart of fiber-optic sensors, integrated optical sensors use on-chip components such as waveguides and resonators to perform molecular detection. Compared with conventional sensors based on bench-top instruments, integrated planar sensors feature small-footprint and low-power consumption and require a minimal amount of analyte, and their manufacturing is potentially compatible with standard semiconductor microfabrication process flow [1-3]. ChG glasses are uniquely poised as an attractive material candidate for on-chip optical sensors these glasses possess high...

Remove the test cell from the coil and observe that the signal readout from the instrument integrator is now 0 3 units. Check this condition periodically to ensure that no contamination of the coil with hydrogen-containing material has occurred.
