ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At Pittcon
2018, Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) this week will highlight various
innovative analytical systems and new high-value solutions for food
analysis, pharmaceutical, clinical research, and materials science
applications. At Bruker's Pittcon press conference, Professor
Jeremy Nicholson from Imperial
College London, UK will discuss
'The Future of Molecular Phenomics in Precision Medicine'.
Frank H. Laukien, Ph.D., Bruker's
President and CEO, commented: "Our new analytical instruments
and solutions shown at Pittcon 2018 demonstrate our close
collaborations with analytical and research customers, whom we
endeavor to support with new enabling tools. Our focus at
Pittcon 2018 is on applied, pharma, clinical phenomics and
proteomics applications, as well as on materials research and
nanotechnology markets, and on education."
Food Analysis Solutions
Our updated Beer Freshness solution is the result
of a collaboration between Bruker and FlavorActiv
(www.flavoractiv.com). It is the only method to measure how
process design and operations can improve or deteriorate beer
freshness throughout the production cycle. This allows
brewers to optimize their production processes and take corrective
action earlier, ensuring freshness and product stability. The
Beer Freshness solution is now available on Bruker's
benchtop microESR™, supported by applications
training, customized reagents, GMP flavor standards and support.

The new, fast Edible Oil solution by microESR
measures the oxidation profile of edible oils, and provides a
prediction of shelf life before the product is packaged and
distributed. The Edible Oil solution includes
SOPs for sample preparation and analysis, and provides fast results
for timely, informed process control decisions to reduce rancidity
of edible oils. More…
Bruker is pleased to announce the first US installation of the
NMR FoodScreener™, marking a milestone
in the adoption of this unique high-throughput and high-content
solution for food authenticity and fraud prevention. This
enables North American honey producers to screen their samples for
adulteration and authenticity, in order to ensure their brand's
reputation and value amidst growing concerns over food quality and
authenticity worldwide. More…
AOAC International has approved the MALDI Biotyper
solution for two new Official Methods of Analysis (OMA) for the
identification of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. The
OMAs cover common food pathogens (Salmonella spp,
Cronobacter spp, Listeria spp and Listeria
monocytogenes), and identification of other bacteria, such as
quality indicators, spoilers and technological species. This
fast and cost-effective microbial identification solution is also
available for food safety authorities, food industries, and other
food and feed testing facilities. More…
Pharma & Quality Control
Bruker's new MPA II is the next generation of
the successful MPA Multi Purpose Analyzer, which
employs FT-NIR spectroscopy for quick and reliable quantitative
pharmaceutical QC. The MPA II incorporates
state-of-the-art optics for performance and stability, as well as
advanced lasers and long-lifetime light sources to enhance
robustness and reduce maintenance costs. More …
Bruker has acquired IRM2, a developer
of high-speed infrared (IR) microscopes based on quantum cascade
laser (QCL) technology. Innovative, fast QCL microscopy
expands Bruker's technology portfolio for IR microscopy, with
applications in tissue analysis and materials science. The
IRM2 QCL platform provides IR imaging with
detector arrays at high speed. A proprietary coherence reduction
technique delivers unprecedented image quality, so that large areas
can be studied more rapidly and at high resolution. More…
The mass-spectrometry BioPharma Compass 3.0
solution now includes clone selection and MALDI release identity
testing to enhance biopharmaceutical characterization. It
supports both high-resolution ESI and MALDI MS for comprehensive
characterization, supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. New
butterfly plots allow for sub-unit and intact mass analysis for
batch-to-batch comparisons, or originator vs. biosimilars analysis.
Regulated rapid release identity testing employs MALDI to
support 'pack and fill' QC. Clone screening using intact Fc/2
glycan profiles is performed by MALDI in applications where speed
is beneficial. More …
Clinical Phenomics and Proteomics
Bruker's established IVDr-by-NMR solution for
phenomics research is now also being offered for biobanking
applications to assess sample quality with rigorous SOPs. It
can provide reliable, quantitative data on 150 metabolic biomarkers
in urine in a single experiment under full automation, with high
throughput and at low cost per sample. More…
Flow Injection Analysis - Magnetic
Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FIA-MRMS)
is a powerful new workflow for phenomics research and validation,
where MS is complementary to NMR. FIA-MRMS can
generate molecular formulae for >1,000 medium level metabolites,
and reveals new metabolites not seen in LC-MS, e.g. polar
compounds. With MetaboScape™ software, high
confidence metabolite annotation is based on MRMS extreme mass
resolution >1 million and mass accuracy ~0.2 ppm. High
throughput, LC-free FIA measures >200 samples/day, enabling
large cohorts and longitudinal studies in phenomics.
Bruker's revolutionary timsTOF Pro mass
spectrometer for high sensitivity proteomics can now be integrated
with the Evosep ONE (www.evosep.com )
separation device for high-throughput clinical proteomics.
The Evosep One is a novel chromatography system for
large cohort proteomics, optimized for >200 samples/day and >
90% MS utilization. Its LC peak widths of ~2 seconds for ~5
minute gradients have been combined with the PASEF method on the
timsTOF Pro with MS/MS rates >150 Hz. This novel
combination delivers superb sensitivity (50ng HeLa) and high
throughput for LFQ of ~1,200 proteins in ~5 minutes. For
large sample cohorts, this enables biomarker research and
validation on >200 samples per day - a breakthrough for future
clinical proteomics.
Materials Science and Nanoanalysis
The new UMT TriboLab™ Brake Material Screening
module delivers cost-effective development of friction materials by
reducing the total characterization time from days to hours.
The new module offers an industry-first benchtop test that
simulates the standard SAE J2522 (AK Master) test and correlates
well to dynamometer tests. Researchers and formulators can
significantly accelerate brake pad development by screening for top
performing materials before complete dynamometer testing, saving
significant cost for automotive manufacturers and getting products
to market faster. More…

Expanding the capabilities of the Dimension FastScan®
and Icon® AFM systems, the new NanoMechanics
Lab™ offers the most accurate and user-friendly AFM-based
nanomechanical characterization. The NanoMechanics Lab is a
suite of force-mapping modes that perform quantitative nanoscale
investigation, extending from soft hydrogels and polymers to stiff
metals and ceramics. Utilizing advanced algorithms and
exclusive AFM probe manufacturing methods, these modes deliver the
most repeatable and accurate high-volume quantitative measurements,
adding in data cubes for multi-dimensional nanoscale analysis of
materials. More…
In 2017, Bruker has acquired Luxendo, a spin-off of the European
Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) that develops proprietary
light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instruments.
The Luxendo's single plane illumination microscopy (SPIM)
technique significantly reduces sampling times over conventional
laser scanning confocal microscopes, while reducing phototoxicity
and damaging side effects on living specimens. The SPIM
microscopes now significantly enhance Bruker's existing portfolio,
enabling new research advances in small organism embryology,
live-cell imaging, brain development and cleared brain tissue, and
optogenetics applications.
Education
The microESR Education Package brings applied
electron spin resonance (ESR) to undergraduate chemistry
departments with all the tools needed to teach ESR in the
classroom: spectrometer, user manuals, lab accessory kit, seven
experiments and instructor's guide. Through the experiments
provided, students will be exposed to the wide range of
applications ESR is used for and gain practical, hands-on
experience using a compact, benchtop ESR system. This
affordable package is an excellent investment in tomorrow's
scientists. More…
