Analitika

The Labconcept Group of Companies is one of the largest suppliers of analytical equipment in the Russian Federation. Despite constantly changing market conditions both domestically and internationally, the company is rapidly growing. The company is constantly improving its existing portfolio of instruments and expanding its offerings, with a primary focus on the quality and functionality of its solutions. One of the company“s areas of work is the sale and service support of equipment supplied by its Chinese partner, Hanon. This article describes the properties and capabilities, various options, and advantages of automatic titrators from two Hanon product lines, for potentiometric, coulometric, and volumetric titration.

This article explores the key milestones in the development of the Analitika Association of Analytical Centers. It highlights the Association“s key role in establishing an objective and recognized accreditation system in Russia based on international principles. It also highlights the significant work carried out in the field of chemical analysis metrology, translating and adapting documents from several international organizations and developing a national terminology for chemical measurements. The Association“s mission, enshrined in its Charter, and its guiding principles are outlined. The program for annual meetings of the Association“s members, which currently number over a hundred, is described in detail. The role of the website and Telegram channel in its ongoing work is highlighted. The article also discusses the work on issuing regulatory documents for the Technical Committee for Standardization TC 325 Analytical Control, established within the Association.

The past year, 2025, marked an anniversary for the international exhibition Chemistry. Exactly 60 years ago, the USSR began introducing chemical technologies into the national economy: their readiness was reviewed at the first exhibition in this industry. Years have passed, and the international exhibition Chemistry has transformed into a meeting place for chemical product and service manufacturers and equipment suppliers with consumers from around the world. In this article, we will discuss how it was held in 2025 at its new location – the Timiryazev Centre Exhibition Complex.

The article examines the impact of digital transformation on crystal chemistry – a discipline originally based on data processing. It traces the evolution of crystal chemistry from solving the inverse problem of interpreting experimental data to explain structure and properties to solving the direct problem of engineering materials with desired properties. The main focus is on analyzing current trends and challenges in the digitalization of two key components of crystal chemistry: the methodological part (obtaining structural data) and the descriptive part (interpreting data). It is shown that the future of crystal chemistry and related fields depends on solving the problem of data reliability and verifiability, as well as on a conscious ethical approach to the application of artificial intelligence and statistical methods. The article highlights the risk of devaluation of fundamental knowledge and expertise against the backdrop of a growing number of publications based on low-quality data or superficial analysis. The article serves as a critical review of the current state and challenges facing crystal chemistry in the era of science“s digital transformation.

This article presents the history of the establishment and scientific work of the A. V. Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IIC SB RAS) from its founding to the present day. The article presents the Institute“s research areas in the field of producing high-purity substances and functional materials. The development of methods for the deep purification of the precursor for the synthesis of functional materials for microelectronics, energy, nuclear physics and other applications is discussed. Methods of quantitative chemical analysis using the preconcentration of trace elements and techniques for increasing of the efficiency of sample injection into excitation and ionization sources to reduce the limits detection are discussed.
