PerkinElmer Launches Innovative Laboratory Technologies at Pittcon 2015

PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader focused on improving the health and safety of people and the environment, introduced several new detection and analytical instruments at the Pittcon 2015 Conference & Expo, the world’s largest annual laboratory science event.

“The combination of our advanced instruments, software and services can help scientists gain critical insights to significantly impact the safety and quality of the food we eat, water we drink and air we breathe,” said Jon DiVincenzo, President, Environmental Health, PerkinElmer.

PerkinElmer highlighted several new offerings spanning a range of capabilities including chromatography, materials characterization and elemental analysis:

Altus™ UPLC®: an advanced LC system providing high throughput and faster, higher resolution chromatographic separations. Scientists in environmental, industrial and applied markets can use this system for detecting adulterants, contaminants and pollutants.

Altus™ HPLC: a fully integrated, easy-to-use and maintain LC system delivering reliable, precise, and reproducible results for analyses such as preserving the integrity of food ingredients, maintaining clean water, air and soil, and testing chemicals and industrial materials to meet environmental standards.

PinAAcle™ 500: a fully-integrated, flame-only atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer ideal for labs needing an easy-to-use, high-performance flame AA for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples. The PinAAcle 500 spectrometer can be coupled with a new FAST Flame sample automation accessory, providing the lowest cost-per-element flame AA.

Spotlight™ FT-IR Microscope Systems: designed for scientists specializing in materials, pharmaceuticals, academia, forensics, biomedical and biomaterials whose samples demand higher sensitivity and simpler analysis and workflows. The systems perform a tasks ranging from automated setup to complete characterization in rapid time, while delivering quick, high-quality results.

PerkinElmer offers two FT-IR options with Spotlight Microscope systems:

Spectrum Two™ system: combines performance and low-maintenance design and is suited for everyday use regardless of user skill level.

Frontier™ FT-IR system: delivers high sensitivity, configurability and flexibility, with an upgradable optical system and broad range of accessories for more complex analyses as users’ research and analytical needs expand.

LAMBDA™ 265 365 465 UV/Vis Systems: a family of benchtop-friendly UV/Vis instruments offering a variety of spectral bandwidths to accommodate a wide range of analytical functions related to materials testing, QA/QC and R&D. Lab professionals in environmental, food, industrial, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries can use these instruments for water and soil contamination testing, food color analysis, DNA/protein quantification, and academic teaching and research.

Perten® DA 7250 NIR Analyzer: a diode array based NIR instrument that analyzes samples of grains, flakes, pellet powders, pastes, slurries and liquids in six seconds and can determine moisture, protein, fat, ash, starch and many other parameters with accuracy.
