Global leader in analytical technologies offers high performance
instruments for the environmental, pharmaceutical, chemical and food
industries
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PerkinElmer
Inc., a global leader focused on the health and safety of people and
the environment, will showcase key product developments at Expoquimia,
Barcelona, 14 — 18 November, Gran Via, Hall 5, level 0, stand D442.
PerkinElmer's new solutions provide customers with tools designed to
perform accurate analyses of a broad range of environmental, food,
pharmaceutical and geochemical samples.
"The platforms we are showcasing have been developed in response to
specific customer needs for real-world applications," said Dusty Tenney,
president, Analytical Sciences and Laboratory Services, PerkinElmer. "We
are a world leading provider of FT-IR spectrometers, microscopy and
imaging systems, as well as ICP, GC/MS, GC/HS and atomic absorption
technology, for a wide range of markets, due to our responsiveness to
customer requirements. Researchers in key application areas benefit from
better detection capabilities through our expertise, knowledge and
technologies across the environmental, food, consumer product and
pharmaceutical testing segments."
Innovations that will be displayed at Expoquimia include:
-
PerkinElmer's AxION®
TOF system was designed to provide a fast yet accurate platform
for mass identification and quantification for the environmental,
pharmaceutical and food industries. The AxION system is available with
a choice of patented ion sources, including dual probe Ultraspray®
2 ESI or Field-Free Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI).
Each source has interchangeable snap-in probes to enhance productivity
and user flexibility by reducing cross-contamination. The AxION system
was designed with high specificity that can enable unambiguous
identification and quantification of both known and unexpected
compounds, for full sample characterization.
-
The Optima™
8x00 ICP-OES platform offers improved performance and reduced
operating costs for determining the elemental composition of a wide
variety of samples. A novel electronic sample introduction system
provides superior sensitivity and innovative radio frequency (RF)
generator technology dramatically reduces total cost of operation by
reducing argon gas consumption. With exceptional throughput and
detection limits, this easy to use instrument platform is targeted
towards lowering cost per analysis and helping laboratories meet the
continued challenges of the environmental market.
-
Taking atomic absorption to new levels, the compact PinAAcle®
spectrometer determines the concentration of inorganic elements in a
wide variety of sample types for environmental, food and consumer
product testing. Based on an optical system that utilizes
state-of-the-art fiber optics, the instrument has a newly designed
light path which shapes 100% of the beam resulting in the smallest
footprint of any combined flame/granite furnace AA system on the
market.
-
The Clarus®
SQ 8 GC/MS delivers reliable throughput and productivity for
analysts requiring extreme sensitivity, such as in environmental and
food testing applications. By minimizing requirements for instrument
calibration and reducing the need for sample preparation and
concentration, the system dramatically improves workflow and provides
consistent and reliable results. Its revolutionary Smart Source™
technology provides unprecedented access, ease of use, and maintenance
for the user resulting in increased uptime and reduced operating costs.
-
PerkinElmer's comprehensive quality approach, from product design,
development and manufacturing through to customer support, assures
high quality FT-IR analysis. The compact Spectrum
Two™ FT-IR spectrometer combines superb performance with low
maintenance, and can be used by non-expert users outside traditional
laboratory environments. In even the most demanding applications,
PerkinElmer Frontier™ systems offer superior near-, mid- and far- IR
spectroscopic performance. The instrument combines sensitivity with
flexibility for use in many diverse sectors including food, water,
environment and pharmaceutical testing.
Product specialists will be available at the booth to discuss how
PerkinElmer's analytical solutions can improve laboratory productivity
and cost-effectiveness.
