An Overview of Ellutia
Background:
Ellutia is a leading independent manufacturer of innovative chromatography and nitrosamine detection instruments. Formerly Cambridge Scientific Instruments Ltd, formed in 1994, the company became Ellutia Chromatography Solutions in 2010 and now has divisions in the UK, USA and Germany.
Since then, the company has grown from strength to strength and supplies its light, compact, yet highly sensitive gas GC chromatography and automated nitrosamine analysis solutions to a broad range of markets, from education, cannabis and brewing to materials testing, forensics, and pharmaceuticals.
To supplement the proprietary product range, Ellutia has incorporated the best available external technologies to enhance its product portfolio and now offers a wide range of products including autosamplers, GC inlets, detectors, analysers, software, hardware, and accessories.
Ellutia has become well-known for its personalised, responsive service and ability to provide customised solutions to its customers’ challenges. Offering an ideal combination of agility and speed of service with a global outlook and industry-shaping technological innovations, Ellutia is the partner of choice for hundreds of customers.
What Ellutia do?
Ellutia offers a range of gas chromatographs, GC accessories, software, and consumables, as well as nitrosamine detection systems. Ellutia’s instruments are designed and manufactured in the UK at the company headquarters. The instruments are designed to be compact with great energy efficiency, whilst also delivering industry standard analytical performance. Ellutia works closely with its customers and regularly produces fully customised systems tailored to their individual requirements rather than delivering off the shelf products. It is this working relationship with customers and the flexibility to adapt that sets Ellutia apart from other GC manufacturers.
The Ellutia 800 Series TEA detector is able to quickly identify and analyse N-nitroso, N-nitro and nitrogen containing compounds. Its selectivity and sensitivity has led it to become the standard for nitrosamine detector in many industries, where it is used extensively in application areas that include good manufacturing practise (GMP) environments such as food safety, materials manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. For testing of pharmaceutical drugs, the 800 Series TEA can be interfaced to a chemical stripping system that allows for rapid testing of apparent total nitrosamine content (ATNC).
