The 23rd Analytica exhibition and conference took place in Munich, Germany, from April 17 to 20. As usual, it was a roaring success. Although the attendance of 30,000 was down slightly from 32,061 in 2010, it was hard to tell, given the general enthusiasm throughout the exhibition’s five halls. The number of exhibitors was up […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Elvatech introduced the ElvaX Mobile portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument. It is controlled by a PDA and is currently shipping. PG Instruments released a new version of its most recent atomic absorption system, the AA500, which was released in mid-2011. The new version includes an embedded PC. The AA flame can run on […]
Atomic Spectroscopy LECO introduced new configurations for its latest generation of inorganic and organic elemental analysis systems. Late last year, sulfur and oxygen analyzers were released for the CHN628 analyzer. Each option has a price of about $8,000 to $10,000. In May, a sulfur option will become available for the TruMac series at an additional […]
Continuing its momentum from 2010, the separations market experienced another year of solid growth. The separations market, which accounts for 17% of the total analytical and life sciences instrumentation industry, increased 8.9% to $7.3 billion in 2011. Like 2010, sales in 2011 were driven by strong demand for initial systems, which posted double-digit sales growth. […]
Company Announcements In December, the Alliance for Nanosystems VLSI, which was formed by the California Institute of Technology and CEA-Leti, launched Analytical Pixels. The company will design, manufacture and bring to market GC systems based on nanoelectromechanical system sensors. Product Introductions In October, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the TraceGOLD GC Column with Safe Guard, which […]
Company Announcements Advanced Chromatography Systems and its operating sister companies, Cambridge Scientific Instruments and Unicam Chromatography, in March introduced Ellutia as their new global brand and name. The Open University and Agilent UK launched in May the Agilent Center of Excellence in Comprehensive Chromatography.

Time-of-flight GC/MS (GC-TOF), which includes TOF and Q-TOF GC/MS systems, has long held potential to become a major GC market segment, but has not yet lived up to these expectations. While the technology has performance advantages, other factors have limited growth. However, a new competitor is poised to finally help the GC-TOF market breakout. Most […]
This month, Bruker introduced its first GC/MS product line, the SCION single quadrupole (SQ) and triple quadrupole (TQ) GC/MS systems. The systems are based on Varian’s GC/MS technology, which Bruker acquired last year (see IBO 3/15/10). Although the SCION GC/MS systems retain the unique 180 degree–curve collision cell design of the Varian 300 and 320 […]
