Company Announcements DataApex opened its second European Clarity Training Center, which is run by RECIPE Chemicals + Instruments, in Munich, Germany, in January. Product Introductions GE Healthcare introduced Capto ImpRes ion exchange chromatography media for late-stage purification of a wide range of biomolecules. The first products to be launched are the Capto SP ImpRes strong […]
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 […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker’s S8 Dragon wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WD-XRF) system combines a conventional array of wavelength detectors dedicated for elements of particular interest with a multielement energy dispersive detector (the Bruker XFlash, more commonly used for energy dispersive spectrometry [EDS] microanalysis) to provide simultaneous measurement of the remaining elements. A complete run takes […]
Billerica, MA 2/24/11—Bruker has entered into an agreement to acquire Michrom Bioresources, a provider of LC instrumentation, accessories and consumables. Financial details were not disclosed. Michrom recorded 2010 revenues of $3 million. “Michrom’s broad portfolio of novel technologies and high-performance products is highly complementary to our mass spectrometry products,” said Mr. Collin D’Silva, president of […]

BioSystem Development announced in November 2010 a collaboration with BAC BV to develop high-affinity ligands for its AssayMAP platform. BAC will contribute its CaptureSelect Antibody Toolbox affinity ligands. Semba Biosciences partnered with […]
The separations market performed well in 2010, recovering from an anemic 2009. The separations market accounted for 17% of the total analytical and life sciences instrumentation industry, increasing 5.8% to $6.6 billion in 2010. In the first half of 2010, the market experienced exceptional growth due to robust demand for new instruments. Some separations technologies […]
Despite drastic reductions in pharmaceutical R&D headcount and spending, which have reduced growth, flash chromatography, a preparative LC technique, accounted for more than $100 million in annual revenues in 2009 (see table, page 6) and is expected to grow in the mid-to-high single digits. Demand for flash chromatography comes mainly from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and […]
Sales of biosimilars, or follow-on biologics, could reach $10 billion by 2015, according to The Economist. US healthcare reform legislation signed into law earlier this year created an abbreviated FDA approval pathway for biosimilars. This month, the FDA held a two-day hearing about how to implement this pathway. Also this month, the European Medicine Agency […]
Superficially porous columns (SPCs), which consist of a non-porous core fused with a porous outer layer, has been around for nearly as long as other analytical HPLC column-packing technologies. However, in the past several years, the superficially porous column technology has reinvented itself for the ultra-performance HPLC (UHPLC) era. SPCs are used for smaller particles, […]
Company Announcements Novasep and instrAction entered into a strategic alliance to provide API-selective stationary phases and large-scale chromatography processes for purifying synthetic and semi-synthetic compounds. Chiral Technologies Europe entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with the University of Vienna, Austria, for exclusive manufacturing and marketing rights for novel Cinchona alkaloid-based zwitterion-exchange type chiral stationary phases.
