Instant point-of-use chemical reaction analysis

US-based Smiths Detection has launched an advanced system for chemical reaction analysis at the point of use. The ChemID miniaturised Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer analysis system has been developed to enable organic chemists to instantly assess chemical progress, optimise chemical reactions, and rapidly identify and recognise polymorphs. ChemID is versatile and compact and can be placed within arm's reach of a reaction set-up, or in a hood. It rapidly analyses samples in any state with any solvent, including caustic and corrosive materials.

At the heart of ChemID is the advanced ChemAssist software, which is built on a powerful proprietary database and advanced algorithms, and which can accurately and quickly identify functional groups. This, coupled to customisable protocols, greatly improves the efficiency of both reaction tracking and the analysis of unknown compounds.

'Organic chemists regularly take samples to assess the progress of a chemical reaction, which are then transported to specially designed laboratories for analysis,' said Dr Robert Sandor, vice president, life sciences, Smiths Detection. 'ChemID enables chemists to quickly perform the same analysis from their workspace, will improve efficiency, and will enable more rigorous analysis of chemical reactions.'
