New Products 

Micro-Mesh Sanding Paper

• Micro-Mesh sanding and polishing sheets are ideal for clean up of mass spectrometers and other instrument parts requiring a clean surface free of scratches.

• The abrasives in Micro-Mesh are embedded in an elastomer matrix so they better conform to the surface being cleaned. This minimises surface scratching without compromising fast polishing.

For SPME a thin (0.06") PTFE/Silicone septum is an ideal choice in order to extend the life of the SPME needle

Restek Pesticide Residue Internal Standards
Any food safety chemist can attest that interference is a major concern when performing pesticide residue analysis. But with the release of its expanded line of internal and surrogate reference standards, Restek now offers enough options to mitigate interference in nearly any matrix! Isotopically labeled to provide the best approach for pesticide residue quantification, these new internal standards are economically priced and compatible with both LC-MS and GC-MS applications. They are even useful for optimizing LC-MS/MS system performance. Like all of the certified reference materials (CRMs) manufactured and QC-tested in Restek’s ISO-accredited labs, they can also help you satisfy your ISO requirements with ease.
