At Pittcon 2011, Bruker is announcing its
latest product innovations and is showcasing its expanding
portfolio of analytical technologies. The new systems deliver more
sensitivity, productivity and specificity for confident analysis in
industrial and applied markets, and open new horizons for advanced
molecular and materials research applications.
New technologies from recent acquisitions enable Bruker to offer
additional, complementary high-performance analytical solutions and
new compact, easy-to-use and affordable turn-key systems. With
today’s product introductions Bruker addresses an expanding array
of life science, pharma-biotech, clinical research, food,
petro-chem, environmental, homeland security, materials and
nanoscience, as well as academic research and educational markets.
The new Bruker products and solutions launched at Pittcon 2011
include:
Mass Spectrometry and Separations:
maXis 4G™: the breakthrough
maXis 4G™ UHR-QTOF once again redefines high performance
mass spectrometry by offering Full Sensitivity Resolution (FSR) of
greater than 60,000 and mass accuracy better than 600 ppb. Other
high-end QTOF systems may nominally reach 40,000 resolution, but
only at the expense of a dramatic sensitivity loss by large factors
due to special resolution-enhancing, but sensitivity degrading
techniques like ion beam slicing, W-mode, etc. The maXis 4G
is very unique and maintains its maximum sensitivity even at full
mass resolution, and even while acquiring at up to 30 Hz speed
during UHPLC separations. This completely unique highest
performance envelope permits truly simultaneous discovery,
identification and quantitation of low-level compounds or
metabolites in a single maXis 4G LC-MS/MS run.
aurora M90™: this new platform
is taking ICP-MS to a new level of sensitivity, dynamic range and
productivity for environmental, industrial, and applied markets.
The novel aurora M90 combines the unique and updated CRI
II™ collision reaction interface for interference elimination,
and a new Nitrox™ 500 accessory to lower limits of
detection (LOD) on key elements like As and Se even further. The
aurora M90 incorporates a patented 90 degree ion mirror
optics and unique curved-fringe rods with unsurpassed sensitivity
and low background noise for industry-leading detection limits. The
aurora M90 also features the world’s only fully digitized
ICP-MS detector, covering a full nine decades of dynamic range in
pulse counting mode, thus delivering fast and accurate
multi-element analysis from ultra-trace to major levels in a single
measurement. The aurora M90 universal analysis mode provides
fast and accurate results for samples routinely encountered across
the wide range of environmental and industrial monitoring processes
where ICP-MS is the technology of choice.
compassCDS™: Bruker’s new
chromatography data system (CDS) for gas chromatography (GC)
systems control, data processing and report generation enables an
enhanced laboratory workflow. The new compassCDS offers a
quick and easy migration path forward to former Varian GC
customers, who are currently using the older Galaxie software
platform. Fully integrated into Bruker’s comprehensive
compass™ separations and mass spectrometry software
architecture, compassCDS is the new cornerstone CDS for
Bruker’s high-performance GC systems.
X-ray Spectroscopy and Microanalysis:
S8 DRAGON™: Bruker launches the novel
S8 DRAGON, the first truly simultaneous X-ray fluorescence
(XRF) spectrometer for precise, high-speed elemental analysis for
process control in metal production and foundries. The compact,
high-performance S8 DRAGON leverages the latest X-ray
technologies and a novel architecture to offer high quantitative
precision in combination with elemental flexibility for up-to-date
metals production control, covering almost all elements of the
periodic table in a single, rapid measurement.
e-Flash HR is a
new high resolution and high sensitivity detector for electron
backscatter diffraction analysis (EBSD) to tackle the most
demanding EBSD applications, such as analysis of poorly conducting
nano-materials, lattice strain investigation, phase identification
and more. The e-FlashHR complements
Bruker’s high speed EBSD detector version
e-Flash1000, further increasing the
versatility of the Bruker CrystAlign™ EBSD system.
TRACER™ IV GEO: Bruker introduces the
TRACER IV GEO, offering geology researchers a flexible,
handheld XRF analyzer with the ability to install user-developed
calibrations. Equipped with Bruker’s 30 mm2 XFLASH™ Silicon
Drift Detector (SDD), it achieves about three times the sensitivity
of the standard TRACER.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance:
Assure™-RMS: A fully automated,
quantitative NMR solution for raw material screening (RMS) in the
pharmaceutical and chemical industry, Assure-RMS enables the
targeted and non-targeted detection of impurities and adulterants
in the starting materials for industrial, biotech and
pharmaceutical production. By detecting adulteration and impurities
early in the production cycle, Assure-RMS promises a quick
return on investment. Designed for GMP and GLP environments,
Assure-RMS delivers a traceable record of sample analysis
and summary reports.
Fourier 300 with Automation:
Bruker’s innovative, easy-to-use and affordable 300 MHz
high-resolution FT-NMR spectrometer can now optionally be equipped
with SampleXpress Lite™, an autosampler for routine
chemistry applications in academia and industry. With its new,
efficient sample-changer, robust probe technology, easy-to-use
software, miniaturized electronics and a well-proven magnet, the
Fourier 300 with SampleXpress Lite is a complete
proton and carbon 1D and 2D FT-NMR system that delivers powerful
performance at an attractive price.
CMC-se™: A new NMR software
package in Bruker’s Complete Molecular Confidence (CMC) suite of
software solutions, the CMC-se solution offers simple and
efficient structure elucidation of small molecules, and accelerates
the workflow during the structure elucidation process by automating
processing and interpretation steps. In combination with Bruker’s
AVANCE™ NMR spectrometer product line, CMC-se is the
only elucidation tool that seamlessly integrates high quality NMR
data acquisition and sophisticated software analysis for small
molecule structure elucidation.
Vibrational Spectroscopy:
BMS-c: Bruker announces
BMS-c, a new automation option for its highly regarded
VERTEX 80v research grade FT-IR spectrometers. BMS-c
is a novel beamsplitter exchange unit for additional flexibility
and productivity in demanding materials research applications.
BMS-c users are able to change spectral range using up to
four beamsplitters under automation, and while the system remains
under vacuum.
Remote Infrared Gas Detection:
following the recent acquisition of Sigma ElectroOptics GmbH,
Bruker is introducing two products for the remote detection of
hazardous gases in industrial, environmental and homeland security
applications: the new SIGIS 2 (Scanning Infrared Gas Imaging
System) is a scanning imaging remote sensing system that
complements Bruker's existing EM27 research grade and RAPID™
line of mil-spec FT-IR remote sensing systems. SIGIS 2
allows identification, quantification, and visualization of a broad
range of potentially hazardous gas clouds from long distances, with
360 degree observation for true chemical imaging. Bruker’s new
dedicated gas imager GI 384 LW can visualize gas plumes in
real-time and is a highly efficient tool for leak detection in
industrial environments. Its main application is detection of
natural gas (methane), but the system can be configured to detect a
variety of other chemical gases.
Frank Laukien, Ph.D., Bruker's President and
CEO, commented: "Our innovative, high-performance products are
expected to further enhance our position in the markets we serve,
offering exceptional analytical and research capabilities, greater
convenience and cost-effective solutions to our customers. With
compact, easy-to-use, affordable, yet highest performance products
we believe we can gain access to broader markets and expand our
presence in many routine quality control, applied and industrial
market segments, while maintaining our excellent reputation in the
research community."
