Chrom Africa only aligns itself with credible suppliers providing products with excellent specifications and proven reliability. As these product ranges continue to expand, the vision of becoming Southern Africa’s leading supplier of Molecular Biology products is being realized.
Chrom Africa is proud to be able to offer your laboratory the ability to identify organic and inorganic elements at ppm to sub-ppt levels, with the broad portfolio supplied by Thermo Scientific. The range of instrumentation includes Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS). From Flame to Furnace or even Dual Flame and Furnace analysis, Deuterium (D2) or Zeeman background correction, Single and Multi-Element Hollow Cathode Lamps, Autosamplers, Autodilutors, Vapour generation (VP100), Spray chambers and Burners, Chrom Africa has the AA spectrometer and consumables to meet your needs. The iCAP 7000 Series ICP-OES are powerful simultaneous spectrometers that come as either Duo (Axial and Radial) or Radial view configurations. The 3-channel, 12-roller peristaltic pump or 4-channel, mini peristaltic pump with unique drain sensor, provides smooth, low noise signals and safe operation. Performance is enhanced with a solid state RF plasma generator, powerful Charge Injection Device (CID86) Detector and Turbine Pump Chiller. A range of accessories is available from autosamplers to nebulizers, spray chambers, torches, peristaltic tubing, argon humidifiers and hydride generators. With three models available, with features ranging from the Qcell ion guide, He Qcell KED to smallest bench-top ICP-MS available, the iCAP™ Q ICP-MS is the ideal tool for a wide range of applications and market sectors, from routine 24/7 analysis to demanding high quality research. Autosampler, peristaltic pump, nebulizers, spray chambers, injectors, RF Generator, plasma TV, sample cones, skimmer cones, laser ablation, 90° ion optics and hyphenation are all terms well associated with the iCAP™ Q ICP-MS.
Liquid Chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) combines chromatography with mass spectrometry. This enables confident identification and deep mining of a vast range of compounds that includes small molecules, environmental contaminants, drug metabolites, pesticides, and protein complexes. High resolution, accurate mass (HRAM) data can be acquired using the novel Thermo Scientific ™ Orbitrap ™ based mass spectrometers. These Orbitrap mass spectrometers include the Q-Exactive, Q-Exactive Focus, Q-Exactive Plus, Q-Exactive HF, and Fusion. These instruments enable specificity and high confidence due to the exceptional high resolving power producing HRAM data. Orbitraps also offer excellent dynamic range and sensitivity for deep mining into compounds of small molecules as well as proteomes with excellent performance. The Exactive series HRAM Mass spectrometers are benchtop mass spectrometers with excellent resolution that allows identification, quantification and confirmation of compounds. These HRAM Mass spectrometers are routinely used in research laboratories for qualitative and quantitative work in proteomics, metabolomics, doping labs, pesticide detection, forensic and toxicology screening, environmental and food safety screening, clinical research and drug development. The Orbitrap Fusion is a tribrid instrument that combines a quadrupole, dual-pressure ion trap, ion-routing multipole and Orbitrap all in one instrument. This allows collision induced dissociation (CID), higher collision induced dissociation fragmentation (HCD), electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and HRAM detection using the Orbitrap. Optionally internal calibration can be added for increased sensitivity and selectivity. This high end instrument allows in-depth analysis of small molecules and extreme mining of all biological systems used for proteomic applications. Detailed structural information using MSn can be obtained in any of the analysers for ease of use. Using a combination of CID-HCD, HCD-CID, and HCD-HCD combined with MSn, fragment ions can be detected with any of the mass analysers to obtain detailed structure determination of metabolites, glycans and and other small molecules. The additional ETD source is also ideal for determination of post-translational modifications (PTM’s) that include phosphorylation, methylation and glycosylation. The high scan speed and exceptional resolution enables deep mining into the proteome of any biological sample, enabling proteomic applications using shorter gradients. The Orbitrap Fusion is a must have mass spectrometer for any research lab doing structural elucidation, metabolomics and proteomics.

Director and Co- Founder Chrom Africa
ChromAfrica Instrumentation Services is a Kenya-based company, but serving all of Africa. We are dedicated to providing scientific and technical training and resources to African scientists, in areas such as chemistry, biotechnology, and related fields. Our scientists are known for their training and communication skills, as well as their technical expertise, training and resources to African scientists, in areas such as chemistry, biotechnology, and related fields. As a consultancy that aims to be the best in Africa, innovation has always been in our gene code – a fact that is widely recognized by our clients. This knowledge bank allows us to help our clients access unrivalled innovation expertise, revealing the magic triangle linking strategy, innovation and technology – carefully balanced for each of our clients. Technology and innovation are intrinsically interwoven – one not working without a deep knowledge of the other. This is what ChromAfrica LLC is renowned for – not only creating best practice but defining next practice for clients and entire business sectors. This interplay between innovation and technology drives our clients’ strategy- creating competitive advantage. The point here is that many companies work hard at innovation – but ultimately fail because they don’t link it to strategy, a vision or idea of where they see themselves at a clearly defined point in time. On the other hand many companies settle with incremental innovations – and that mostly is because they do not have access to the kind of technology they would need to get there.
