Advion Introduces the SOLATION® ICP-MS for Simple, High Performance Multi-Element Analysis
ITHACA, N.Y., January 8, 2019 — Advion, Inc., announces the release of the SOLATION® Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). SOLATION® expands the current Advion mass spectrometer portfolio to include high performance, multi-element analysis for environmental, clinical, biomedical, food, agriculture and geological applications.
The SOLATION® release culminates over three years of development, which reimagines the standard ICP-MS, encompassing thoughtful design, easy, high-throughput workflow, and intuitive software. Offering an innovative 90° quadrupole deflector, the SOLATION® has lower interference and improved signal-to-noise ratio, preventing contamination thereby producing reliable results quickly and easily.
“Academic, Clinical and Cannabis plant/extracted product users will find the SOLATION® provides a bespoke solution, rapid answers in the fewest number of steps, and a sample-to-answer solution for routine elemental analysis,” said David Patteson, Advion CEO. “Like the other mass spec solutions in our portfolio, the SOLATION® ICP-MS was driven by the needs of the end user, and will be an asset to any lab seeking high quality inorganic assays. We expect strong uptake by our core academic segment, where we are rapidly approaching an installed base of >1000 compact mass spectrometers in the last six (6) years.”
Brought to life from the strong scientific partnership between Advion and parent company, Beijing Bohui Innovation Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a leader in the robust Chinese clinical IVD and Molecular Diagnostics market comprising 40,000 hospitals, the SOLATION® is the company’s newest mass spectrometer. The combined companies currently offer a range of Atomic Absorption, fully automated GenPlex®HPV genotyping assay, the expression® Compact Mass Spectrometer, the AVANT™ (U)HPLC, and many other novel sample introduction systems including the Plate Express™ TLC Plate reader and the TriVersa NanoMate® nano-electrospray ionization technique. The SOLATION® ICP-MS is available now. Visit www.advion.com/products/SOLATION-ICP-MS for more details and product specifications.

Advion Wins 2018 Innovation Award from The Analytical Scientist for the Touch Express™ Open Port Sampling Interface (OPSI)
ITHACA, N.Y., December 18, 2018 — Advion, Inc., announces the expression Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS) Touch Express Open Port Sampling Interface (OPSI)was selected as a top-five recipient of The Analytical Scientist 2018 Innovation Awards. The award showcases cutting-edge technology, instrumentation and software making an impact in the analytical science community. The OPSI is a one-touch sampling technique for solids, liquids, sample preparation tips and fibers that provides mass analysis in seconds, with no preparation or chromatography required.
The awards, touted by The Analytical Scientist as “Strokes of Genius,” highlight the OPSI’s unique, prep-free technique that can be used on a wide diversity of samples and applications, including:
- Compound identification and impurity detection from almost any liquid or surface
- Easy screening applications for drug research, food safety, environmental, and forensics
- Large molecule applications, including proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and polymers
“Our Advion team is honored that The Analytical Scientist recognized Touch Express OPSI for its rapid screening capabilities and immediate results,” said David Patteson, Advion’s CEO. “This simple, robust, highly sensitive technique, paired with our expression CMS, is truly an innovative solution for labs requiring fast answers in a small-footprint, easy to use system.”
The novel ambient sampling technique was invented by Gary Van Berkel and Vilmos Kertesz of Oak Ridge National Laboratory[1]. Paired with the electrospray ion source of the expression Compact Mass Spectrometer, the product incorporates a µL volume, continually flowing, open port of solvent that is connected directly to the mass spectrometer. Any soluble sample touching the port is analyzed by the mass spectrometer in seconds.

European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (EWCPS 2019)
The European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (EWCPS) is a series of conferences on Plasma Spectrochemistry. The objective of the conference is to bring together plasma spectrochemists from all over the world in one European location to stimulate contacts and exchange knowledge and experiences. Plasma spectrochemistry involves analytical methods such as ICP-MS, GD-MS, ICP-AES, DCP-AES, MIP-AES, LIBS or LAMIS. The conference is held every two years (started from 1985 – see history) and alternating biannually with the US-based Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry organized by Ramon Barnes.
11th Joint Meeting on Medicinal Chemistry (JMMC) 2019
Since the first meeting, the number of participating countries has increased to nine – Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The success of last 10th JMMC-2017 (249 participants from 28 countries) illustrates an interest in this kind of meetings. We are pleased to invite medicinal chemists from all over the world, not only participating countries, to come, stimulate discussion in drug discovery and development and to promote collaboration between medicinal chemistry scientists, both young and experienced.
