Company Announcements In March, the Irish Centre for Fetal and Neonatal Translational Research (INFANT) announced a research partnership with Waters. Waters will invest in the INFANT Centre at the University College Cork and will work with the Centre to develop a screening test to predict spontaneous preterm birth based on a blood-based biomarker. Agilent Technologies […]
Company Announcements Dr. Junying Yuan, head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Interdisciplinary Research Center on Biology and Chemistry, received an Agilent Technologies Thought Leader award in December 2013. Astrotech subsidiary 1st Detect entered into a strategic OEM agreement with Rigaku in January for its OEM-1000PI MS, which was integrated with Rigaku’s thermogravimetric analyzer to […]
Analytik Jena entered the ICP market with the introduction of the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 ICP-OES, which features a compact design and delivers high resolution, ease of use, flexibility and precision. The PQ9000 is a simultaneous ICP system that employs four key components: high-resolution optics, the V (vertical) Shuttle Torch, Dual View PLUS technology and a […]
At a time when large exhibitions seem to be declining in attendance and exhibitor participation, Analytica has clearly established itself as a “must-attend event” based on a proven formula for success. The trade fair took place May 10–13 in Munich, Germany. Held at an outstanding modern venue in the heart of Europe, well planned and […]
Atomic Spectrometry Bruker introduced its second generation S1 Titan handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) product line. In addition to a more ruggedized, weatherproof housing, the new versions include a detector shield as standard. Four models are available, with different sources and detectors. The high-end S1 Titan 800 has a variable voltage X-ray source and a silicon […]
Atomic Spectroscopy SciAps revealed its handheld laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument, which is available in two models, the Z 500 and the Z 100. The system is comparable to handheld XRF for heavier elements, but LIBS can also detect lighter elements that are difficult or impossible for XRF to detect. The laser is an […]
For instrument and laboratory product companies, China has become the fastest growing market among major world economies. This is not surprising considering the country’s economic ascension and growing R&D spending. In 2013, analytical instrument sales (comprised of the product categories listed in the January 15 issue of IBO, including aftermarket products and service) to China […]
Company Announcements Advion entered into its 10th OEM agreement in September 2013. In October 2013, Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a collaboration with the University of Salzburg’s Christian Doppler Laboratory for Biosimilar Characterization and scientists from Sandoz Pharmaceuticals to develop new methods for characterizing proteins to be used in biopharmaceuticals. Thermo will provide expertise for applying […]
Last year was somewhat of a pedestrian year for mass spectrometry (MS), with the market growing modestly in the mid-single digit range. Market growth was driven mainly by demand for LC/MS technologies, offset by weak demand for portable and in-field MS and magnetic sector MS instruments. For 2014, the overall market for MS is forecast […]
Almost always, an analytical technology can meet the needs of different end-user markets. However, the successful transition of a technology from one market, in which it may be well established, to an entirely new and different market is often a precise and dedicated process. In this article, IBO examines three research technologies that have made […]
