Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker AXS launched the D8 DISCOVER X-ray diffractometer. The D8 DISCOVER further increases ease of use with real-time component detection, plug-and-play functionality and fully integrated two-dimensional X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) capabilities. These capabilities allow the user to switch between all materials research XRD applications, including reflectometry, high-resolution diffraction, grazing incidence diffraction and small angle […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker introduced the Q2 ION at its Pittcon press conference. The Q2 ION is a compact benchtop arc-spark spectrometer. It is a cost-effective complement to handheld XRF for metals analysis at smaller foundries and recycling centers. The system is now available at a price of roughly $35,000. Following the success of its Terra […]
For the first time in many years, the overall MS market actually declined in revenues in 2009, although the 2.5% contraction in demand was fairly small compared to the broader analytical instrument market, let alone the broader economy. IBO expects the MS market to rebound significantly in 2010, growing 8.2% and reaching nearly $2.5 billion […]
Thermal desorption is considered one of the most sensitive and environmental friendly sample introduction techniques for GC and GC/MS. Thermal desorption is used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-VOCs. Thermal desorption systems have been available for more than two decades and have shown few technical advancements in recent years, making them […]
Company Announcements Inficon’s 2008 Emergency Response & Security sales rose 58.5% to $27.9 million to make up 11% of company revenues. Inficon’s first-half Emergency Response & Security revenue declined 49.0% to $7.4 million due in part to delayed shipments. Lower European and military sales were partially offset by an increase in environmental sales in Asia. […]
Company Announcements PerkinElmer is developing an interface for Agilent’s EZChrom Elite chromatography data systems to control the Clarus family of GCs. It will be available in July. Under a strategic alliance announced in February, Markes International’s thermal desorption systems (TD) and accessories are now available as OEM items through Agilent and are supported by Agilent. […]
Growth in 2008 for the separations market was nearly two percentage points lower than the original forecast estimates (see IBO 1/15/08) due, in part, to the weakened third and fourth quarters marked by the global financial crisis. In 2008, the separations market accounted for $6.6 billion in revenues and grew 6.6% over 2007. For 2009, […]
While the overall MS market did not quite match the growth initially expected for 2008 (see IBO 1/5/08), it grew more than 8% in the past year. Despite the severe global recession, IBO expects the demand for MS to grow 7.7% in 2009, which will easily put the total market value over the $2.5 billion […]
GCxGC, which is also referred to as comprehensive GC, is an advanced type of multidimensional GC. GCxGC technology is a relatively recent development, and provides major advantages over conventional MDGC techniques. The industries in which GCxGC is most popular are much the same as the wider GC market. The market demand for GCxGC consists primarily […]
Company Announcements Alpha MOS acquired Périchrom for €440,000 ($699,283), in July. Périchrom develops and sells laboratory and online GCs and had 2007 sales of €1 million ($1.6 million). Barry S. Howe resigned as CEO and president of Electronic Sensor Technology in July and was replaced by former CEO and current Chairman Dr. Teong Lim. In […]
