• Expoquimia 2017: Our spanish distributor Gallpe-AC will be at the Expoquimia 2017 event at Barcelone from October 2nd to 6th to show our products BTrap and TD flash. 

• New software for BTrap instrument: A new software has been developped this summer for the BTrap instrument with a new design and simplification of the interface and instrument use. This new tool is faster and more user friendly: for example the creation of method or sequence is a lot more intuitive. This software is actually used in our lab and on our instrument. More information would be available very soon on the website.

• BTrap instrument acquisition by EDF/Polytechnique 2017: In may 2017 a BTrap instrument has been delivered as part of a CIFRE thesis gathering EDF company and the laboratoire de Chimie Microbiologie Eau et Environnement (CME2) of the Polytechnique school. Some development has been made on the instrument in order to meet the demands of the tender. One of them was to develop a membrane introduction (MIMS) for COV measurements in water. The thesis is about on line and in real time chemical release  characterization and quantification (bromine, chlorine, nitrogen compounds…) in the two environmental matrices (water and air). The purpose is the study the environmental future of these pollutants.

• Euronaval 2016: our solutions for real-time analysis of submarines atmospheres have been presented at Euronaval 2016, at Le Bourget, from October 17th to 21st. We exhibited at the GICAN booth, on hall 2A L92. More details at http://www.euronaval.fr/9-visitors

• IMSC 2016: we presented VOC Real-time analysis with a transportable high-resolution PTR-FTICR-MS at the 21st International Mass Spectrometry Conference in Toronto, on last August, 25th. For more information, you can download the presentation on that link and visit the conference website: http://www.imsc2016.ca/

• MODEST 2016: We spoke about Real-time analysis of VOCS from polymers degradation by chemical ionization high resolution mass spectrometry on last September 4-8th. at the MODEST 2016 conference. This event  took place in the Industrial Chemistry Research Institute of Cracow, Poland. All the information are available on the website : http://en.www.ichp.pl/modest-2016. 

• New publications: two articles, written in collaboration with the Laboratoire de Chimie Physique (LCP), have recently been released on the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry. They are available for download from the Science Direct website at the following links:“Protonated 1,4-difluorobenze C6H5F2+, a promising precursor for proton-transfer chemical ionization”                                           “Development of a transportable FT-ICR MS associated with a glow discharge ionization source“.

• 64th American Society Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) annual conference:  we were in San Antonio, on 5th-9th June 2016.  The poster session WP 463 presented our projet for the development of a drift tube mass spectrometer associated with plasma microjets, on the Wednesday 8th. Further information is available on that website.

•  TAP 2016: we presented our solutions at the 21st International Transport and Air Pollution Conference at the ENS in Lyon, on 24th-26th May . This was a great occasion to learn about the BTrap use for automotive and indoor air analysis applications! To learn more about the conferences programme click on that link.

• Salon Analyse Industrielle: We displayed the BTrap analyzer at the Salon Analyse Industrielle in La défense, on the 30th and 31st of March! We also spoke during conferences about traces analyses, and about our partnership with the company AlyTech. For more information about this exhibition, please visit the following link.

• SAMAP 2015: we presented the SMHR analyzer – the BTrap answering submarine environment specific needs (learn more here) – at the Submarine Atmosphere Monitoring and Air Purification Symposium that took place from 5th to 9th October 2015 in Den Helder, Netherlands.

The SAMAP attendees:

• Latest development: TDflash-BTrap coupling! AlyXan’s instruments can now be connected for BTrap off-line analyses of low concentrations samples. Learn more by clicking here.

• • •  Atmos’Fair took place on 9th & 10th June 2015 in Lyon. It was the occasion to hear us speaking about air quality and industrial emissions analysis.

• We were present at Forum Labo 2015 from 31th March to 2nd April in Paris, on our AlyTech partner booth H51.

• AlyXan presented the benefits of air quality analysis with the BTrap at the:
  P4TA-CERTAM International WORKSHOP: Characterization of Complex Nanoaerosol Emissions: metrology, health and environmental issues, on 24-25 March 2015 in  Rouen, France.
