Company Announcements In September, the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences exclusively licensed its Underway Aiming System ocean light measurement software to Satlantic. Product Introductions WTW, a Xylem firm, launched the new inoLab 7110 series for measuring pH and conductivity without electronic documentation; the 7310 series for measuring pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen (DO) with documentation; […]
Metrohm sets itself apart from other companies. Its business structure is not one that many instrument firms choose to emulate, but it has served the company well for decades. In fact, the firm estimates its 2011 revenues to be CHF 300 million ($333.3 million = CHF 0.90 = $1). Metrohm is unique because of the […]
Osmometers are designed to measure the osmolality of a solution. They measure changes in a solution’s colligative properties, such as freezing and boiling point, vapor pressure and osmotic pressure, which are proportional to the concentration of solute present. As particles are introduced into a solvent, freezing point and vapor pressure are lowered, but boiling point […]
Company Announcements YSI announced in March that it is looking for a strategic partner as some shareholders are seeking liquidity for their investment. The company reported that 2010 sales totaled $100 million for the first time. The Yellow Springs News reported that the company’s outside shareholders include Antioch College and Antioch University. Product Introductions Hach […]
Atomic Spectrometry LECO introduced two elemental analyzers for applications involving metals, alloys and other inorganic samples: the CS844 for carbon/sulfur measurements and the ONH836 for measuring oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Improvements in the combustion furnace, detector systems and cleaning automation have been combined with touch-screen control. The CS844 is priced at $65,000 and began shipment […]
The general analytical techniques (GAT) segment is a collection of the most basic laboratory instruments, including electrochemistry instruments, laboratory balances, radioactivity measurement systems, dissolution testing equipment and continuous flow analyzers (CFAs)/discrete analyzers. While these technologies are fundamentally different from each other, they share similar market characteristics. These instruments are somewhat low-end technologies and have revenues […]
Company Announcements Sensor and sensor-based systems manufacturer Measurement Specialties announced in September the acquisition of Pressure Systems, a provider of pressure sensing instrumentation for aerospace research and hydrostatic water-monitoring systems, from Esterline Technologies for $25 million in cash. YSI announced in November the appointment of Mark W. Matson as vice president of Operations and COO. […]
Product Introductions Cole-Parmer introduced the Oakton pH 700 benchtop meter, which measures the pH, mV and temperature of up to four probes. The system features five-point calibration and recall of up to 100 data sets. Thermo Fisher Scientific released its Orion rugged dissolved oxygen (RDO) biochemical OD STAR bench meter and probe for stir-free, optical […]
Product Introductions Hach introduced the NO3D sc Nitrate sensor for wastewater treatment plants that monitor nitrogen removal online. It features an integrated chloride electrode. Hach released its MP Meters for pH, oxidation reduction potential, conductivity, resistivity, total dissolved solids and temperature. They work without probes, and feature single-handed operation and integrated sample cups. Sartorius Stedim […]
The category of general analytical techniques includes a number of technologies, such as laboratory balances, centrifuges and radioactivity-measuring instruments. These techniques do not easily aggregate into a single category, yet are found in most laboratories. Combined, these techniques accounted for about $2.7 billion in sales in 2009, and sales are forecast to grow at a […]
