Thermo Fisher Scientific Moves Science
Forward at ACHEMA 2009
|
DREIECH, Germany (April 01, 2009) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the
world leader in serving science, will be showcasing its complete portfolio of
instruments, accessories, consumables and software solutions on booths B1-C11 in
hall 6.1 at ACHEMA 2009, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, May 11 - 15. Under the
theme “Passport to Science”, the company will be exhibiting industry-leading
solutions offering unmatched performance, reliability and value in both research
and routine applications from sample preparation and analysis through to data
interpretation and storage.
Newly exhibited will be the Thermo Scientific Exactive, the latest liquid
chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system introduced to improve workflows
in pharmaceutical, food, environmental and industrial laboratories, as well as
the Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum GC, the most sensitive triple quadrupole
GC-MS/MS designed for increased selectivity in complex matrices for lower
analyte detection limits. Also on display is a new solution that provides
information on structural elucidation and compound quantitation and reveals the
history and origin of compounds by reading their isotopic signature with high
precision. The new Thermo Scientific irm-GC/MS solution features the new GC
Isolink integrated to the TRACE GC Ultra with the DELTA V isotope ratio mass
spectrometer. In addition to these products will be an assortment of
Chromatography systems, columns and accessories to include the ITQTM ion trap
and DSQII single quadrupole gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS)
instruments along with the AccelaTM ultra high performance liquid chromatography
(U-HPLC) systems, delivering unsurpassed performance that addresses the growing
productivity needs found in Toxicology/Forensics, Pharmaceutical, Food, Safety
and Environmental laboratories alike.
Also featuring on the booth at Achema will be Thermo Scientific atomic
absorption (AA), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), combustion, X-ray fluorescence (XRF)/X-ray
diffractive (XRD) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) product offerings.
Combining reliability, superior performance, versatility and ease-of use, these
elemental solutions are able to analyze samples easily and cost-effectively.
Launching for the first time in Europe at ACHEMA 2009 will be the company’s
latest combustion elemental analyzer, the Thermo Scientific TITAN 4000. This
innovative product is designed for today's demanding petrochemical industries
and is the smallest in the market. Powerful advances in technology within the
TITAN 4000 deliver exceptional results, including Total Nitrogen/Total Sulfur (TN/TS)
analysis in less than two minutes and improved savings on consumables.
In addition, Thermo Fisher offers the most complete line of molecular
spectroscopy instrumentation available on the market, backed by superior
technical service and driven by dedication to customer satisfaction. A
comprehensive range of fluorometry, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and
Infrared Microsampling, Visible and UV-Vis, fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR)
and Raman products and the new Thermo Scientific OMNIC Specta Software ensures
that all analytical requirements are met. Systems such as the Antaris Target NIR
Blend Analyzer, Nicolet iN10 MX infrared imaging microscope and iS10 FT-IR
spectrometer are suitable for an extended range of applications, including raw
material ID, tablet analysis, reaction monitoring, polymorph characterization,
quality by design (QBD) manufacturing, root cause analysis and out of spec
investigations.
Also new is Thermo Scientific Connects, a new program aimed at bridging the gap
between laboratory generated data and the enterprise level information that is
required for mission critical management decisions. Connects is a solution set
that leverages the company’s breadth of Laboratory Information Management
Systems (LIMS) and Chromatography Data Systems (CDS) capabilities, as well as
expertise in enterprise systems integration to help streamline and improve the
transfer of knowledge between laboratory-generated data and enterprise-level
information systems. Connects allows organizations to integrate
application-specific workflows, thereby transforming laboratory data into
relevant business information and maximizing a company’s enterprise system
investments to better support critical management decisions in today’s
resource-constrained environment.
Also on display will be Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS, the company’s
flagship LIMS for industrial process laboratories. SampleManager LIMS increases
productivity, improves access to data, and ensures documentation compliance with
regulatory requirements such as ISO 17025. SampleManager LIMS benefits
management by providing a centralized system to access data and extract
information, allowing more effectively management of laboratory operations.
Another featured product from the company’s gravimetric instruments product line
is the Thermo Scientific thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) VersaTherm that allows
scientists to study samples’ weight changes under extreme conditions including:,
sample size to 100 g, volume up to 35 mL, vacuum to 10-5 torr, and under
desirable reaction gas environment. With its patented design and coupling,
Thermo Scientific VersaTherm units can be coupled to an evolved gas analyzer
like the Thermo Scientific Nicolet 6700 FTIR spectrometer to pass over the most
concentrated sample effluents for identification, helping scientists to
understand reaction mechanism.
Booths B1-C11 will also feature the Thermo Scientific Aquakem, a discrete
photometric analyzer for easy and cost-effective water and environmental testing
as well as the automated photometric system, Arena, for food and beverage
analysis. Using the Arena analyzer, Thermo Fisher has just developed a new
simple and effective method for the determination of asparagine levels in both
raw and processed foods. Asparagine reacts with reducing sugars like glucose at
temperatures above 160 ˚C to produce acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen.
Formation of acrylamide is a concern in the processing of fried, baked or
roasted processed foods such as potato chips or French fries, and baked cereals
The Thermo Scientific Orion AQUAfast AQIII series of meters for colorimetry and
turbidity measurements, the Thermo Scientific Orion DUAL STAR meter and the
Thermo Scientific Orion ROSS Ultra Low Maintenance Triode and a new line of
Green Electrodes will also be displayed on booth during Achema 2009. The
complete product line of Thermo Scientific laboratory glassware, centrifuges,
incubators, chromatography consumables, storage, separation consumables and
pumps can also be seen in the same booth area in Hall 6.1.
To be displayed on the Thermo Scientific booths # H40 – J41 in Hall 10.1 is the
new Thermo Scientific M-PULSe ultrasonic flow meter. Ideal for custody transfer
and leak detection, the M-PULSe™ combines a multi-path ultrasonic flowmeter with
a fast flow computer to create a bi-directional liquid flow measurement system
that offers the highest attainable accuracy. The system’s accuracy surpasses the
API required custody transfer specification of ±0.15%, making it the most
reliable flowmeter on the market today. Furthermore the next-generation Thermo
Scientific AutoPILOT PRO is designed to scale from a simple, single run
measurement application to six runs with full station control. This accurate,
easy-to-use gas flow computer features full USB support and is simple to
configure with no programming required, enabling staff to focus on increasing
productivity and profitability.
