New Platform for Sensitive and Accurate Analysis of Contamination and Impurities

PerkinElmer (USA) announces the launch of its Clarus® SQ 8 Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS), setting a new industry benchmark for sensitivity and stability. The Clarus SQ 8 GC/MS provides extreme sensitivity to analyse samples accurately, with an 800:1 signal to noise specification. This capability gives environmental and food testing laboratories the ability to detect lower levels of contaminants and impurities.

The Clarus SQ 8 GC/MS delivers superior throughput and productivity by minimising requirements for calibration of instruments and reducing the need for sample preparation and concentration, dramatically improving workflow. PerkinElmer’s Clarus SQ 8 GC/MS provides accurate results, which allows environmental and food testing laboratories to comply with new and evolving regulatory requirements that drive compliance in environmental and food applications.

“The quality and safety of food products are major issues worldwide, and accurate analysis of pesticide residues and other contaminants is imperative to monitor the interplay between human and environmental health,” said Dusty Tenney, president, Analytical Sciences and Laboratory Services, PerkinElmer. “We work hand-in-hand with the world’s leading environmental and food testing labs, and our introduction of the new Clarus SQ 8 GC/MS emphasises our commitment to giving customers the right tools to solve the growing challenges of these markets.”
