| Greetings!
In this February News Edition we've included a glimpse of our participation in the Technical Session at PITTCON 2009, the featured Product of the Month: A Compact Robust Lab GC, customer service and support contact information and how to set up appointments with us at PITTCON 2009 in Chicago, IL Booth # 2080.
Calling all chromatographers: are you performing half the analysis with your existing detector and sending the remainder of the samples out because your PID or FID is NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH? Save money and time by doing it yourself: We design and manufacture GC PID detectors that are 50 times more sensitive than FIDs and most other brands of PIDs.
Our HNU detectors can be added on to ANY commercially available laboratory GCs (even the really old ones). Our detector electronics can be interfaced to your GC and PC based data systems are available for our detectors.
For more information register at http://www.hnu.com and check out those chromatograms in our Detector brochure.
Email me at mailto:jen@pid.bz today for a quote to upgrade your GC with an HNU detector. |

Remote Wireless Monitoring of Methane from Landfills & Septic Discharges
We have developed a compact, low-power, battery (4 AA cells) operated package (sensor/amp/RF mote) for measuring methane in air. The power required by the system during operation is about 0.6 watts but it is desirable to collect data on a continuous (24 hour) basis for at least four months. As a result, we developed a "sleep mode" relay control to reduce power and maximize operating time of the sensors using a local PC with a network of wireless RF motes. The mote is a microcomputer on a thumb-sized board with an RF transmitter/receiver and I/O ports for sensor input.
The operating lifetime for the batteries is approximately 4 months using a 3 minute cycle (30s on 2.3 m off) where battery voltage is monitored along with relative humidity, temperature, and % methane. We are evaluating two different sensors (combustible gas and optical-Infrared) for application to long-term study of land fills and large leaching fields. The use of wireless connections is necessary for both applications because they are usually in remote areas. In addition, the ground is very unstable in landfills precluding hard wired connections.
The local PC has an RF "base mote" and database for storing the data. Every three minutes, a command is sent to the sensor mote to wake up, take a reading, broadcast it and go back to sleep. The PC is connected to the internet so that the data is available anywhere in the world. We can also take control of the local PC remotely using Microsoft's "Remote Desktop" and change or modify the program.
This is a Sunday Poster Session at Pittcon 2009 in the New Developments in Analytical Instrumentaton and Software program
