Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) for trace elemental
detection features unprecedented 1.5 gigahertz per parts per
million (1.5 GHz / ppm) sensitivity for precise and accurate
quantification at single digit ppt levels and below. This makes the
aurora Elite the most sensitive ICP-MS instrument, even
exceeding the performance of expensive magnetic sector field ICP-MS
systems in many aspects, and far exceeding the sensitivity of other
quadrupole ICP-MS systems on the market today. Its extreme
sensitivity makes the aurora Elite eminently suitable for
semiconductor, geochemistry, materials science and related
applications.
EVOQ™ Qube and Elite: The new LC-triple quadrupole
(LC-TQ) mass spectrometers, the high-performance EVOQ Qube
and the ultra-high sensitivity EVOQ Elite, are setting new
standards for analytical performance and quantitative robustness.
Similar to Bruker’s successful SCION GC-TQ platform
introduced in 2011, the EVOQ series delivers leading LC-TQ
performance with major advances in robustness, ease of methods
developments and productivity. The EVOQ platform was
designed for a singular purpose – to very reliably quantify
thousands of real samples with fast sample-to-report time. It
delivers exceptional sensitivity, quantitative accuracy, linearity,
and a wide dynamic range for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
assays.
Helium-Free SCION Gas Chromatographs: Bruker launches new
versions of its SCION 436 and 456 gas chromatographs
(GCs) configured for the use of hydrogen as the carrier gas.
Responding to the rising cost of Helium gas, Bruker has released
these GC systems to use less expensive hydrogen gas. The
SCION GC systems include hydrogen safety provisions, on
board leak detection, auto shut-down procedures, and trigger
outputs to shut down auxiliary equipment. Each system ships with
special filters to ensure high purity delivery of the hydrogen
carrier gas.
COMPACT Qq-TOF: Bruker introduces Instant
Expertise™ in high-resolution LC-MS/MS with the new COMPACT
mass spectrometer. The COMPACT is a bench-top accurate mass
Qq-TOF LC-MS/MS system providing new class-defining sensitivity and
enhanced dynamic range with Instant Expertise features, ensuring
that even non-expert users can count on immediate research-caliber
data for every new challenge of qualitative and quantitative
analysis in applied, industrial and research markets.
TANGO™-T: The new TANGO-T FT-NIR (Fourier
Transform Near Infrared) spectrometer designed especially for
measuring liquid samples in transmission mode complements Bruker’s
TANGO-R system for measuring solids in reflection mode, a
best-seller with already more than 100 systems operating
successfully in various industries. Both TANGO versions have
a small footprint and feature easy to use touch-screen operation
for routine users. The TANGO intuitive user interface
quickly and securely guides the operator through the workflow. The
rugged housing makes it robust and suitable not only for
laboratories, but also for industrial and food analysis
environments.
Open Path Air Monitoring System OPS: The new Open Path
Air Monitoring System OPS is designed for ambient air
analysis. The OPS FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared
Spectrometer) sends a modulated infrared beam from the base unit to
a reflector and analyses the returning spectrum. In addition to
research applications, the monitoring of air quality in industrial
facilities is a major application for the OPS, resulting in
economic, environmental and safety benefits, e.g. in fence-line
monitoring.
Materials Research and Analysis:
ContourGT-K: The ContourGT-K 3D optical microscope
offers imaging and metrology for the widest range of surfaces, and
sets a new industry standard in design and cost for surface
metrology performance. With exceptional roughness and 2D/3D
measurement capabilities, high-resolution imaging and the
industry’s most advanced user interface, the system delivers
uncompromised metrology in a simplified package with a compact
footprint. The gage-capable ContourGT-K provides intuitive
access to an extensive library of pre-programmed filters and
analyses for LED, solar cell, thick films, semiconductor,
ophthalmic, medical device, MEMS and tribology applications.
TITAN Detector Shield™: This unique accessory protects
the detector window of the S1 TITAN handheld XRF analyzer
from being punctured by sharp objects like scrap shavings and
wires, without affecting its rapid and accurate elemental analysis
of almost any material. The Detector Shield minimizes the
likelihood of detector damage, thus avoiding the expense and
inconvenience associated with the replacement of a broken detector
window, without sacrificing any analytical performance, even for
light elements like magnesium, aluminum and silicon.
SkyScan 1272: This innovative high-resolution X-ray
micro-CT 3D microscope for materials and life science applications
can visualize up to 200 Megapixel (14,450x14,450 pixels) virtual
slices through objects. More than 2,600 such slices can be
reconstructed after a single data acquisition in up to three offset
positions. Using advanced contrast technology, the SkyScan
1272 can differentiate object details as small as 0.35μm. An
optional 16-position sample changer offers high throughput, even
enabling the addition or replacement of samples without
interrupting live scans. An optional GPU server and a cluster
version of unique hybrid CPU/GPU software provide the fastest
commercial μCT 3D reconstruction.
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Preclinical
Imaging:
Assure™ - Aloe vera: This new module expands the
capabilities of Bruker’s Assure – RMS (Raw Material
Screening) NMR solutions. Fully automated, quantitative and
qualitative NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) analysis enables Aloe
vera screening in the cosmetics, natural products and
pharmaceutical industries. Given the high demand for this versatile
plant, the material identity, quality and quantity of key
components, in both raw extract and finished products, need to be
analyzed. Identity can be determined via the presence of key
metabolites, and freshness is assessed from degradation
products.
Assure™ Chemometrics Module: The Assure™-RMS
chemometrics module delivers increased confidence in product
conformity and materials classification in the polymer,
pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries, and in
metabolomics studies. Together with the identification and
quantification of key components, it provides in-depth details of
materials composition and rapidly detects non-conforming material.
Due to the high reproducibility of NMR, it enables the transfer of
chemometric models to other laboratories without having to
recollect data.
CryoProbe™ Prodigy TCI: The expanded CryoProbe
Prodigy TCI probe range, now available from 500 to 700
MHz, is bringing its major boost in sensitivity at an affordable
price to even more NMR users. The triple-resonance Prodigy
TCI uses nitrogen-cooled RF coils and preamplifiers to deliver
proton sensitivity enhancements of a factor of 2.5x, and carbon
sensitivity enhancements of 2x over room temperature probes, thus
offering a ‘300 MHz-equivalent’ sensitivity boost for 500, 600 and
700 MHz NMRs at relatively low cost.
Complete Molecular Confidence (CMC) 2.0: This key
update significantly enhances the original software for improved
in-line, integrated routine workflows for interactive quantitation,
as well as structure verification and structure elucidation.
Chemists will benefit from CMC 2.0’s improved integration of
automated acquisition, processing and reporting, together with
faster algorithm performance for step-by-step interactive workflow
assistance. CMC 2.0 includes various modules which
automatically assign NMR signals to structural characteristics,
conduct structural consistency assessments, deliver spectral
analysis and enable easy structure elucidation, culminating in
compact reports for easy transfer to publications, journals or
patent applications.
First 527 GHz Solid State DNP-NMR System: After its
successful installation at the University of Utrecht, Netherlands,
the world’s highest field Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) – NMR
system is now driving new research applications in biomolecular and
material science. DNP significantly enhances the sensitivity of
solid-state NMR by 1-2 orders of magnitude by transferring
polarization from the electron spins to the nuclear spins. DNP-NMR
enables completely new scientific methods on new categories of
samples, with the potential to deliver ever more detailed insights
into interactions at the molecular level.
