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 […]
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique for identification of a wide range of chemicals and compounds, but it was not a practical technique in the lab until about the 1980s and 1990s because of technological limitations. Improvements in fiber optics, optical filter technology and other areas, largely driven by the telecom revolution, helped bring lab […]
Company Announcements Bruker announced in November 2011 a collaboration with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to develop and distribute new structural biology methods and tools to integrate small-angle X-ray scattering with NMR. In March, Oxford Instruments entered into an agreement for Active Spectrum to develop and manufacture micro-electron magnetic resonance (EMR) products to be sold […]
Company Announcements Avantes expanded its UK operations in January, opening an office in Leatherhead, Surrey. In January, FOSS opened a subsidiary in Central America, based in Mexico City, Mexico, bringing the number of FOSS subsidiaries to 27. It was created through the integration of former distributor Operadora ETESA. Product Introductions Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the […]
One of the subsegments driving growth in the Raman spectroscopy market is Raman imaging. The speed and chemical information that imaging provides is helping the technique steadily replace conventional Raman microscopy. Scientists are finding Raman imaging an advantageous technique for a wide variety of industries and applications and are still exploring the technique’s potential. There […]
Many different microscopic methods exist. Some have quite different underlying principles and, consequently, provide very different kinds of information. The ability to correlate the data and images from multiple modes on the same sample offers unique benefits for demanding applications. One combination of techniques that has been successful enough to result in the development of […]
The molecular spectroscopy market is not completely immune from a slow growing economy. Accordingly, the market’s growth should drop from more than 7% in 2011 to less than 5% in 2012. All technology segments of the molecular spectroscopy market will see a decline in their growth, although some more than others. However, every technology segment […]
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a relatively new subsegment of the fluorescence spectroscopy market designed for advanced research. FCS can provide very specific physiochemical information that is most useful in biology and related sectors. Technical advancements in recent decades have allowed the technique to be developed as a commercial instrument technique that is still in […]
