First look at DIOXIN testing mass spec equipment at the Health Ranger's food science lab

Time Text
Alright folks, Mike Adams here with the dioxin testing equipment at our lab, CWC Labs.
We just got this installed.
This is the auto sampler.
These are some of the liquid samples that will go into the system.
Oops.
There we go.
Nothing in there at the moment.
But this is the auto sampler.
This is the system.
Here's the main control screen.
This is a GC system.
A gas chromatography and that is the GC column right there.
I think that's 60 meters in length.
So the sample gets put into this inlet and it goes through this column and then there's a temperature gradient.
And then after it goes out, which is here, it goes into the mass spec side of this instrument, which is over here.
So this does the mass spectrometry and then you get results on your computer, which we have over here.
Here's the analysis of dioxins in food using GCMS. This describes one of the methods that we're using.
And here's a computer system, brand new setup, and some column boxes and so on.
And this thing runs on helium, and we're going to need a lot more helium than this.
Let me show you the back.
We're going to be burning through tons of helium on this.
So looking at the back of the instrument here, this is the back of the mass spec.
And this hose right here, this is what pulls the main vacuum on it.
So there's a rough pump, I'll show you, underneath this desk that's pulling the vacuum for the mass spec.
And then helium is the carrier gas for the gas chromatography.
And quite a lot of interesting plumbing on the back of this instrument, that's for sure.
and you know it's got its networking connections and everything else it needs quite a lot of power because there's a lot of heat that goes into this so you know it's a special power circuit as you can see there um so it's really this is a combination mass spec on this side gas chromatograph on that side and then they're just connected so that the gas stream is sent to the mass spec which has of course you know quadrupole actually This is a triple quad mass spec over here.
I know it's so small, you can't believe it, but it's actually a triple quad mass spec.
So in essence it's got, I believe it's got two quadruples on a collision cell, but I need to double check that.
I'll know more once I get into using it.
But it's amazing that they can put a triple quad mass spec in something this small, because let me show you by comparison.
Like this is the back of our Waters triple quad mass spec liquid chromatography instrument and it's much larger and that's the auto sampler and the liquid chromatography you know the LC part of the instrument is there and this is the mass spec here this is what we use for testing glyphosate by the way that instrument and you can see some of the chemistry bottles on top of the solvents and so on And yet over here on
this new GC instrument, it is remarkably small, which is pretty darn cool.
And it doesn't have a plasma torch like our ICP-MS, which is a heavy metals mass spec instrument.
So it turns out I'm going through training on this coming up in a few weeks.
I'm going to spend quite a few days here with a trainer to go through all of this and learn this instrument, learn how to do maintenance, learn how to set up and run methods on it as well.
And then we're going to start running dioxin testing for you and we'll add that to our lab.
You know, our routine test, which is heavy metals and glyphosate and microbiology.
Here's our handy-dandy ventilation capture system.
That's a MacGyver operation right there.
Sometimes it's what you have to do.
This is the rough pump vacuum hose for the back of the mass spec from Waters.
Look at that.
All that heavy-duty machining, man.
That thing is really something.
Let me show you the rough pump underneath the instrument right here.
It's surprisingly small.
These things have become a lot more efficient over time.
So this is the rough pump.
The vacuum is pulled through here.
And you need a vacuum in order to have a high signal-to-noise ratio on any mass spec instrument.
If you don't have a vacuum, you're just looking at noise all day.
And I think this is the primary oil capture system.
This vents out.
Everything that this rough pump pulls out of the inside of the instrument, which can include your vaporized sample.
So that's why we have to have exhaust hoses here, because you're exhausting, basically, your sample.
So stay tuned.
It's going to get fun.
Thank you for supporting us here at brighteon.com.
And one way you can also help support us is by shopping at healthrangerstore.com.
And we've got some really exciting new products to share with you here today.
I've got samples on my desk, and there's three things to mention here.
The one on the left, it's called Hydrate Elementals.
It's a combination of coconut water powder, certified organic, and Aquaman.
Which is a mineral supplement that has some very special, unique properties.
This is about mineral replenishment and hydration.
You can learn more about it at our website, healthrangerstore.com.
It's very popular, especially with people who do any kind of fitness or workouts.
We've also got here on the right side a new Trail Mix product.
This has coconut chips and nuts and almonds and walnuts plus raisins.
It's a very delicious trail mix, and it's not just a bunch of junk and a bunch of crumbs and byproducts of nut processing.
This is a high-end trail mix, all certified organic, all lab-tested, Including for glyphosate and heavy metals and more.
Check it out at healthrangerstore.com.
You're really going to enjoy this.
And then finally in the middle there we have something brand new that I'm super excited about.
It's a pine needle nasal spray.
And that's in the green little small vials there with the nasal spray aerosolized tip on the top.
I personally harvested the pine needles for this.
In Texas, there are loblolly pine trees because the pine needles are extremely high in shikemic acid.
And then I oversaw the extraction of the shikemic acid and then the mixing of that into this formula.
You can read the ingredients on our website.
But this product is not being sold.
It's only available for free as a bonus giveaway during our Black Friday sale event that's coming up.
And watch for that.
Join our email list.
You'll get the announcements.
You get all the links to participate in that.
The only way that you can get that nasal spray with the shikimic acid using pine needles that I personally harvested in Texas is through the Black Friday event at healthrangerstore.com.
And during that event, by the way, it's our biggest sale of the year.
We're going to have the most products on discount, all kinds of amazing discounts, including on third-party products that are drop-shipped and so on.
Wait till you see the catalog and the landing page for that.
It's going to be quite impressive.
But you definitely want to take advantage of that and get some of this pine needle nasal spray.
And look up shikimic acid, too, because that's the molecule that is used to make Tamiflu, by the way.
Very interesting fact.
Also, one more thing.
On our website, healthrangerstore.com, we now have available certified organic heavy cream powder.
We've got it in pouches and number 10 cans.
And this heavy cream powder is, of course, laboratory verified.
It's tested for heavy metals and glyphosate and microbiology as well.
And there's no junk in here.
It's literally powdered heavy cream.
It's not just maltodextrin and a bunch of garbage with cream flavor.
None of that stuff.
This is the real deal.
That's why it's not cheap, by the way.
But if you want to add to your food storage pantry...
Heavy cream.
This goes a long way.
And we also have, by the way, we have now organic white cheddar cheese powder also in number 10 cans and pouches as well.
So you can make your own macaroni and cheese pretty easily by combining this cheese powder with the organic cream powder and some salt and pepper and some onion powder and get yourself some, you know, organic macaroni.
And it's all done.
You have a really nice meal.
So take advantage of this at HealthRangerStore.com and that will also help support this platform.
We thank you for your support and I'm committed to bringing you more interviews, more content, more analysis each and every day that helps you understand what's happening in our world, helps you navigate it, and also importantly, helps you survive it.
Thank you for supporting us here at Brighteon.com and HealthRangerStore.com.
Take care.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
So download this guide.
It's free.
