In a recent interview by American Laboratory editors with Collin D’Silva and Rohan Thakur, President and Vice President of the Bruker CAM division were probed on their business strategies, technology, services and markets and the article is available for download
http://bit.ly/BCA450. Find out how Bruker CAM has developed its product lines, what is next on the agenda, and how this affects you as either a soda drinker or airplane traveller.
Over the past two years Bruker has made a strategic move to extend their capabilities into the chemical and applied markets. Through innovation and a higher R&D investment than average, Bruker has designed new instrumentation and software platforms that directly address the needs of the user. With gas chromatographers (GC) suitable for almost any application, Bruker has become a major player in the GC field. By eliminating barriers to the use of GC – for example with a 14 language user interface – their global presence is increasing. Double award winning system such as the SCION GC-MS TQ, and state-of-the-art electronic architecture has allowed Bruker to support companies worldwide in markets and applications such as food testing (pesticide residues and beverage grade CO2), renewable energy and biofuels, such as creating biojet and using beverage grade CO2 analysers. Turnkey solutions requiring minimal user input and training mean all of these benefits are available for any laboratory undertaking routine chemical analysis in the food testing, environmental monitoring, water testing, toxicology, forensics and sports medicine markets.
“With a significant presence in over 30 countries, Bruker CAM sets the standard not only for analytical instrumentation, but software and methodology too. We continue to invest our R&D resources in the redevelopment and advancement not only of existing product lines but also new ones such as the SCION” explained Collin D’Silva. “ The introduction of our new websites such as
globalfoodtesting.com and
globalenergytesting.com means our customers can match our capabilities in relation to their needs. With the pressure on analysts to ‘do more, with less, more quickly’ we have had proven success with applications such as pesticide screening.”

Headspace Sampler for GC and GCMS Serves a Wide Range of High Sensitivity Applications
Shimadzu has launched the HS-20 gas chromatography headspace sampler for accurate analysis of an even wider range of volatile compounds with boiling points ranging from low to high. The HS-20 heats liquid or solid samples sealed in a container to a specific temperature, and injects the volatile compounds diffusing into the gaseous phase into a GC or a GCMS. These systems are widely used in the fields of environmental and pharmaceutical applications as well as in materials and food products analysis and forensics. The HS-20 will support these analyses particularly in testing and inspection organisations.
The unique configuration of flow lines and the oven enables the analysis of high boiling point compounds while minimising carryover. Using the electronic cooling trap, it is also possible to concentrate the headspace gas for analysis of compounds with extremely high sensitivity.
Headspace samplers enable easy analysis of volatile compounds. They are used in various fields requiring higher reliability, such as analysis of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the environmental and quality control applications of pharmaceuticals whereas in food products and materials control a wide range of volatile compounds with low to high boiling points has to be detected with high sensitivity in order to provide accurate qualitative and quantitative results for numerous measurement targets.

Develop High Quality Methods in Less Time
Unique method development software designed for separations scientists; ACD/AutoChrom MDS (method development suite) offers logical and comprehensive method screening and multi-parameter optimisation based on QbD principles. Once the analyst has defined the project and its goals, AutoChrom MDS will execute experiments, guide the chromatographer through data processing and interpretation with automatic peak tracking, and help select subsequent experiments. Automated mode provides instrument control for Agilent ChemStation or Waters Empower. The capability to store new methods along with the decisions made during a method development project in a searchable knowledgebase, helps turn experiments into corporate intelligence that can be leveraged in future projects for greater efficiency.
