New Products Unveiled by Perkin Elmer at Analytica 2010

PerkinElmer (USA) is introducing an extensive portfolio of products for chromatography and spectroscopy at Analytica 2010 - Hall A2, stand 401. Highlights will include the new Flexar™ HPLC/UHPLC platform and Chromera® Chromatography Data System (CDS) and the new Spectrum™ 10 spectroscopy software platform, as well as PerkinElmer’s exclusive Differential Scanning Calorimetry Raman (DSC-Raman) spectroscopy hyphenated system.

Flexar liquid chromatography provides a broad line of LC solutions for numerous applications and can be used to facilitate method transfer from, for example, pharmaceutical research to production. Consuming up to 90% less solvents and incorporating extended detection options, Flexar FX-15 UHPLC can help significantly improve instrument uptime and streamline analytical laboratory productivity. Chromera CDS offers powerful functionality specifically designed for UHPLC testing.

Also on show will be PerkinElmer’s exclusive DSC-Raman spectroscopy hyphenated system for pharmaceutical and polymer analyses. This system effectively combines the strengths of the DSC 8500 for thermal analysis with the RamanStation™ 400 spectrometer to enable greater insight into polymer crystallisations, drug-carrier interactions, curing and polymorphic changes. This exciting hyphenated technique provides researchers the capability to observe material changes as they occur, rather than rely upon evolved gas measurement as with other techniques.

The new Spectrum™ 10 spectroscopy software platform for PerkinElmer FT-IR spectrometers is intended to enhance efficient operation, with wide-ranging capability for industrial and academic FT-IR laboratories. The software supports all Spectrum One, Spectrum 65, 100, 100N and Spectrum 400 non-ES FT-IR systems, including Optica and FAME Analysers.
