NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
This week, Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) is show-casing a selection of
innovative and exciting products and solutions at Pittcon 2015 (www.pittcon.org),
with an emphasis on pharma and applied markets, quality control, as well
as nano-analysis and cell biology:
Applied and Pharmaceutical Markets
BRAVO™: This next-generation, hand-held Raman spectrometer
with patented fluorescence mitigation SSETM (Sequentially
Shifted Excitation) now enables measurements of a wider range of raw
materials, compared to first-generation systems. Specifically designed
for the pharmaceutical industry, BRAVO’s intuitive user interface and
touchscreen provide a superior guided workflow. BRAVO features Duo-LASER™
excitation with two wavelengths, resulting in high sensitivity across a
large spectral range. Additional features include automated wavenumber
calibration for precise measurements and automated measuring tip
recognition, IntelliTip™, which ensures that the proper measuring tip is
used. BRAVO is certified as a Class 1M laser product for all measurement
modes, making training and operations easier and safer. More…
InsightMR™: This new software for online NMR analysis of
chemical processes enables the adjustment of experimental parameters
based on real-time data during the analysis. InsightMR is built on
Bruker’s flagship NMR software TopSpin®, providing seamless
integration with Bruker NMR systems. InsightMR’s user friendly interface
allows both expert and non-expert users to set up, monitor and adjust
key experimental parameters. As a result, the software is an excellent
solution for both industrial and academic scientists studying and
optimizing organic reactions. InsightMR has already proven successful
with the first installation at Pfizer Inc., Connecticut, USA, where it
has been used to apply NMR to on-line reaction monitoring to solve real
chemical questions within the drug development pipeline. More…
D8 ENDEAVOR™: The new D8 ENDEAVOR is an advanced X-Ray
Diffraction (XRD) system offering high performance for process and
quality control. It combines accuracywith superior analysis speed, and
is equipped with the latest LYNXEYE XE™ detector addressing the
requirements of process and quality control in the aluminum, cement,
geology, mining, pharmaceutical, and pigment industries by enabling
short measurement times while maintaining excellent sensitivity. The new
D8 ENDEAVOR is easy to operate either in standalone or
automation-integrated mode, or by a touchscreen interface by non-expert
operators. The sample handling of the D8 ENDEAVOR offers high
flexibility and reliability, as various sample types can be loaded
automatically via conveyor belt or robot, one-by-one or with a
multi-position tray. More…
S2 PUMATM: With this new
bench-top, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer for
quantitative elemental analysis, Bruker introduces HighSenseTM
technology for EDXRF. Low detection limits and short measurement times
are achieved using a higher power X-ray tube. Best-in-class detection of
light elements is realized by the combination of optimized excitation,
detection and the economical vacuum mode. High sample throughput of
loose or pressed powders, solids or liquids is supported with either the
EasyLoad™ sample tray, or via the automation load port. Irregular or
large samples are accommodated by the large sample chamber version.
TouchControlTM makes operation of S2 PUMA easy
and intuitive. The new S2 PUMA matches the needs of
industrial customers in minerals and mining, cement production, metals
processing, and petro-chemistry as well as research laboratories. More…
New ONET™ Software for Administration of FT-NIR Spectrometer Networks:
ONET is a server application accessed via a browser-based web interface
(WebUI), allowing users to set up, administer and control a network of
FT-NIR instruments from a central location anywhere in the world. ONET
enables mid- and large-size companies to utilize high performance FT-NIR
technology without needing to compromise on ease of use for routine
operators. ONET supports the connection of LIMS to the central database
and is available in English, Chinese, French, German and Spanish. ONET
has been successfully implemented at multiple international companies
managing more than 100 NIR spectrometers, not only for calibration,
instrument and operator management, but also for data management and
data security. More…
Toothpaste Analyzer: The new Toothpaste Analyzer is
based on Bruker’s proven TD-NMR minispec™ product line and
provides a turnkey solution for the quantification of fluoride content
in toothpaste and mouthwash. The quantification is crucial to prevent
health risks caused by elevated levels of flouride. Bruker’s Toothpaste
Analyzer achieves high accuracy and reproducibility in half the
measurement time compared to other commercial TD-NMR instruments and
delivers the most cost-efficient solution. The 21 CFR part 11 software
and automatic sample changer support maximum efficiency and compliance. More…
Food Safety & Quality
NMR Honey Profiling: This new NMR screening solution
specifically designed for the analysis of honey is the most recent
module of Bruker’s well-established FoodScreener™ product
line. The solution delivers targeted and non-targeted analysis to
simultaneously identify and quantify a multitude of honey
characteristics, including sugar, acid and amino acid content, as well
as detecting frauds such as the addition of different types of syrup or
other sugar solutions. The inherent ease of use allows non-expert users
to conduct analyses from measurement to final report in minutes and
without chromatography. The NMR database developed for honey screening
contains thousands of authentic samples with worldwide coverage in
collaboration with Quality Services International and ALNuMed. More…
NMR Wine Profiling: This substantially enhanced
second-generation module of the FoodScreener™ for wine
profiling allows easy and cost-efficient NMR-based wine analysis, now
for the first time also for key regions in France, Italy and Spain. In
addition to geographical origin, NMR Wine Profiling can determine
further key authenticity parameters such as grape variety, vintage year
and possible water addition. This comprehensive solution offers a quick,
fully automated and cost-efficient tool to ensure wine quality and
authenticity, protecting brand integrity and consumer confidence. More…
