PerkinElmer,
Inc., a global leader focused on improving the health and safety of
people and the environment, announced today that it will be presenting
innovative mass spectrometry solutions that reduce analysis time from
minutes to seconds by eliminating sample preparation steps. Beginning
May 19th, these solutions will be showcased at the American
Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference at booth #20 and
hospitality suite #110 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, Vancouver,
BC, Canada.
Designed and engineered to work seamlessly with PerkinElmer's AxION®
2 Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, the AxION® Direct
Sample Analysis (DSA)'s breakthrough technology enables scientists to
get mass spectrometry results in seconds by eliminating the need for
front-end gas or liquid chromatography separation. With this system,
sample analysis time can be reduced by almost 99% and can provide
significant cost savings as it eliminates the need for chromatography
which dramatically improves laboratory workflows while delivering faster
results.
To further streamline lab operations, PerkinElmer will demonstrate its
easy-to-use, web-based AxION
eDoor™ open access software. Compatible with workflows in all types
of LC/MS laboratories, AxION eDoor provides "walk up access" for sample
introduction, while enabling management and control of a complete
network of multi-vendor mass spectrometry instruments and users. The
system features a modern, intuitive interface and provides fast,
convenient access to results via Web, email or any PDA.
"While mass spectrometry technology provides the deepest insights into
samples, labs are faced with the challenges of lengthy sample
preparation and complex software systems that are time-consuming and
require highly skilled staff to perform," said Silverio (Sal) Iacono,
vice president for Mass Spectrometry, PerkinElmer. "In addition to
virtually eliminating sample prep and the need for front end
chromatography, our new mass spectrometry solutions are so easy to use
that little or no training is required. At ASMS, we will demonstrate how
these innovations streamline laboratory workflows and control, all while
ensuring the generation of outstanding mass spec data and results."
Join PerkinElmer experts to learn more about the Company's mass
spectrometry offerings as well as the broad range of applications across
key market segments. From 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm (PDT) May 21 through 23,
PerkinElmer analytical instruments, software and service offerings will
be on display at hospitality suite #110. These offerings include:
-
The AxION®
2 Time of Flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometer hardware and software
platform is specifically designed to bring speed and confidence to
quantitation, target analysis and compound identification. This system
offers optimum sensitivity, wide dynamic range and exact mass
capabilities to help ensure quality and safety in pharmaceutical and
food testing applications including accurate, reliable and confident
analysis across environmental, industrial and forensic applications.
-
The AxION
Direct Sample Analysis (DSA) system is a technological
breakthrough that eliminates sample preparation, challenging method
development, and front-end gas or liquid chromatography separation.
Liquid, solid, and gas samples can be directly introduced into a mass
spectrometer. This allows for rapid and greatly simplified analysis,
helping lead to faster decisions. With the AxION DSA system, labs can
cut traditional analysis time into seconds without compromising
results.
-
With real-time, web-based access and live updates, AxION
eDoor allows lab managers to control every aspect of their
operation - from sample submission to final results. Required sample
information, methods, and final reports can be customized and tailored
to suit a particular application, individual researcher, or user
group. The software also simplifies the submission processes for
scientists, making it easy to log in samples and receive results
remotely at any time with minimal training.
-
The Flexar™
FX-15 UHPLC liquid chromatography system includes a
dual-reciprocating 18,000 psi pump which provides as much as ten times
or more improvement in laboratory productivity. The system's high
resolution and sensitivity enable reliable, repeatable analyses in
less time. The user interface is streamlined to improve throughput and
optimize operator safety. An integral part of the Flexar LC product
line, the Flexar
SQ 300 MS provides detailed and selective sample insight provided
by mass spectrometry. This innovative and rugged single quadrupole
mass spectrometer delivers high sensitivity and accurate quantitation.
-
The Clarus®
SQ 8 GC/MS delivers reliable throughput and productivity for
analysts requiring extreme sensitivity, such as in environmental and
food testing applications. It is designed around the world's most
sensitive GC/MS detector, Clarifi™, which uses the latest electron
technology to provide the greatest sensitivity and longest operational
lifetime. Clarus SQ 8's revolutionary SMARTSource™ technology provides
unprecedented access, ease of use, and maintenance for users,
resulting in increased uptime and reduced operating costs. For the
separation of light volatile components the Clarus®
680 GC is ideal with its patented high-performance oven
-
Engineered to deliver stability, flexibility and performance, the
award-winning NexION®
300 ICP-MS represents the first ICP-MS instrument that can offer
the simplicity and convenience of a collision cell with the
exceptional detection limits of a true reaction cell. With its
patented Universal Cell Technology™ (UCT), analysts can now choose the
most appropriate technique for a specific sample or application.
