The Analyzer Source

Join us tomorrow evening at the Cape Cod Science Cafe Q2 International Year of Chemistry celebration where we will have a live demonstration of the Global Water Experiment conducted by local area chemists. Click here for full event information and registration. We're preparing our materials for the experiment and we will record the data on the Global Water Experiment website after the event. The goal is to have Cape Cod Science Cafe attendees and local area science educators partake in the world's largest chemistry experiment as a National Chemistry Week focused outreach exercise. Ideally we will encourage local college chemistry majors within the Northeastern region of the American Chemical Society   who attend the Cape Cod Science Cafes to mentor local high school students in their communities and get science educators to form teams to go into the K-12 schools in their neighborhoods. The Q4 celebration of the International Year of Chemistry will celebrate all the vol

PID Analyzers has added a number of new IR sensors for monitoring the following compounds: N 2 O, ETO, EtOH. MeOH, IPA & CH 3 Br with the Model 202 IR Analyzer . This greatly expands   the capability and selectivity of our infrared analyzer line for monitoring industrial processes such as drying ovens, pill coating,   and ETO sterilizer vents. We have developed a “hot IR sensor” option for the Model 202 since many VOC’s can be lost in conventional sample handling systems as a result of their solubility in water. The Analyzer temperature   is kept well above the dewpoint   at 45+/- 1 0 C.   A cold weather option has also been developed that allows the Analyzer to operate properly at temperatures down to -35 0 F.

Each year PID Analyzers and Dr. Driscoll select students from Suffolk University Physics & Engineering for the Spaziani Memorial Award. Awardees are Adam Shomer & Elizabeth Rodriguez. April 13, 2011 Fred Spaziani was the co-founder of  HNU Systems. He and Jack Driscoll developed the first commercial photoionization detector that is now the most important method for measuring volatile organic compounds. Fred left us at too early an age and the award is to help students in science or engineering to reach their full potential.

Accepted poster presentation at the Fall National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Denver, CO Environmental (ENVR) Division, General Posters & SCI-MIX Abstract: The purpose of this poster is to depict the impact of chemistry outreach on Cape Cod and to inspire folks to use this as a model for their own community. Initially my intent was to host one Cape Cod Science Cafe with the mini-grant I applied for and received from my local section: Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (NESACS) as an International Year of Chemistry (IYC) kick-off event. However, the response to the marketing effort to the general public, local science community including educators and students (grades 9-12 and college level) and to the local section members (NESACS) was so overwhelmingly positive that I have decided to host and organize a Cape Cod Science Cafe for each Quarter of IYC with the support of NESACS .
