MUNICH, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This
week at Analytica 2016, Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) is showcasing new
products and analytical solutions for improved performance and
customer experience in pharmaceutical, industrial and applied
markets. Designed to increase sensitivity, improve
specificity and maximize productivity, the new Bruker products
introduced at Analytica 2016 include:
Applied and Pharmaceutical Markets
- The new SENTERRA™ II is an easy-to-use,
confocal, multi-laser Raman imaging microscope with various
acquisition modes to optimize speed or spatial resolution.
The Raman engine of the SENTERRA II was redesigned to
further improve spectral resolution and performance. The
SENTERRA II provides Raman imaging and wavelength
calibration with SURE_CAL technology. Components like
motorized lasers, gratings, filters and apertures allow fully
automated parameter setting. Automated test routines for
operational and performance qualification (OQ/PQ) are
standard. The SENTERRA II is fully compliant
with GLP, GMP and 21CFRp11 regulations. More…
- The new S4 TStar™ total reflection X-ray
fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometer enables ultra-trace elemental
analysis in a range of applications, including pharma, food and
environmental testing. The S4 TStar features up
to 3 different excitation modes and a high performance, large area
XFlash® silicon drift detector (SDD) to
ensure extremely low limits of detection for all elements from
sodium to uranium. Compared to ICP or AAS, the TXRF
requirements for sample preparation are very modest, which makes
the S4 TStar a flexible tool for the analysis of a
great variety of sample types, including solutions, suspensions,
solids, wafers, cell cultures, smears, and thin sections.
Equipped with an automatic sample changer for 90 samples, and
utilizing internal QA samples to automatically stabilize system
parameters, the S4 TStar is designed for 24/7
multi-user operation. It complements Bruker's routine
single-excitation source S2 Picofox™ TXRF
system. More …
- The new MALDI PharmaPulse rapifleX solution is
the latest addition to Bruker's portfolio of innovative products
designed to assist pharmaceutical, biotech and CRO customers to
accelerate drug discovery. Based on the new 10 kHz laser
rapiflex™ MALDI-TOF system, and incorporating
an integrated automation solution, this is the first
mass-spectrometry based, label-free uHTS (ultra-high throughput
screening) solution, using standard 1,536 microtitre plates, or
even 6,144 plates. The MALDI PharmaPulse
rapifleX solution analyses a 1,536 MTP in < 8
minutes , and due to its extreme robustness it is suitable for
primary screens of millions of compounds, with significantly lower
cost per sample. Its label-free detection of substrates and
products accelerates assay development, reduces complexity of
screening, and potentially minimizes artifacts from interferences
with the labels used in traditional uHTS technologies.

Food and Environmental
- Based on a collaboration with Unilever, Bruker is introducing
the new 'minspec G-Var' method for fast determination
of droplet size distribution in food emulsions. Using
Bruker's Time Domain (TD-) NMR minispec®
technology it allows accurate analysis of the droplet size
distribution in margarine, low-fat spreads, butter and mayonnaise,
as well as in salad dressing and soft cheeses. Moreover, it has the
ability to assess individual droplet sizes rather than cluster
sizes. In comparison to the former 'minispec D-Var' method,
the new 'minispec G-Var' is up to 4-times faster,
provides a lower limit of quantifiable droplet phase, can measure
smaller droplet sizes and delivers the highest precision at the
lowest total cost of ownership per
measurement. More..
- PesticideScreener and ToxScreener
2.1: These powerful solutions based on Brukers
innovative QTOF instruments allow users to easily screen, identify,
confirm and quantify hundreds of compounds in a single experiment.
With a larger screening database and new software, these
solutions produce significantly increased throughput and confidence
for routine applications in the food, environmental and forensic
markets. The new Bruker TASQ™ 1.1 software
(Target Analysis for Screening and Quantitation) is designed to
exploit high resolution, accurate-mass data generated by Bruker
QTOF mass spectrometers to confidently screen for trace residues in
complex matrices.
Nanoanalysis, Microscopy & Advanced Materials
Research
- The new ESPRIT QUBE software provides extensive
and powerful tools for 3D visualization and post-processing of data
acquired with electron backscatter diffraction systems (EBSD)
and/or energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometers (EDS) on electron
microscopes. Whether 3D data sets are acquired automatically
in dedicated FIB/SEM instruments or by using conventional
metallography techniques with standard SEM, ESPRIT
QUBE enables true 3D data representation and
analysis. This helps materials scientists, from novice to
expert, in gaining an even more profound understanding of
microstructure parameters, such as dislocation density and grain
boundary planes, as well as grain, inclusion and porosity metrics.
A multitude of options for data filtering, sub-setting,
simulation and visualization provide advanced 3D insights into the
deformation mechanisms of materials, and enable crystal plasticity
studies. ESPRIT QUBE complements QUANTAX
EBSD and EDS for an even more efficient investigation
and interpretation of simultaneously acquired EBSD/EDS data.
More …
- The new SPECTRA.ELEMENTS™
software suite for the S2 PUMA™ benchtop
EDXRF spectrometer enables users to fully exploit its analytical
performance for elemental analysis. With the standardless
solution SMART-QUANT FP™, the
application range of the S2 PUMA is expanded into
material science R&D applications. It enables users to
quantify element concentrations in different liquid and solid
samples, such as metals, ceramics, and oils.
SMART-QUANT FP is a vital tool for industrial
users when analyzing non-routine samples. Bruker also
releases the new, ready-to-analyze solutions GEO-QUANT
M™ for geology, mining and minerals, and
CEMENT-QUANT™ for the building materials
industry. These solutions are compliant with international
standards, such as ASTM C114 for cement. The
combination of the high analytical precision of the S2
PUMA with turn-key calibration packages provides improved
cost efficiency through tighter process control. More …
- The new Contour CMM Dimensional Analysis System
is the world's first non-contact metrology system to perform
simultaneous nanoscale height, surface texture, waviness and form
measurements, as well as 3D coordinate measurements for geometric
dimensioning and tolerancing, all on one instrument. Its
Vision Dimensions™ software offers proprietary features for
small-part characterization, including automation for part
programs, hundreds of preset analyses, and customized
reports. Contour CMM performs rapid,
non-contact precision measurements for more stringent metrology in
R&D and manufacturing of small structures in precision-machined
components across industries from medical and optics to automotive
and aerospace. More …
- The new FastScan Pro Industrial AFM delivers
performance previously achievable only by AFM experts in
laboratories with the repeatability and reproducibility expected in
a production environment. The system integrates Bruker's
proven lowest noise and fast scanning technology to provide the
highest throughput without reducing data quality. The
FastScan Pro utilizes a comprehensive software
automation that features intuitive recipe-writing capabilities to
reduce complex routines to push-button operations. With its
open access platform, large- or multiple-sample holders, and
numerous ease-of-use features, FastScan Pro offers
the power of high-performance AFM to meet production requirements.
