FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 18, 2012--
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE:TMO), the world leader in serving
science, extended its leading FT-IR spectrometry platform by introducing
the first research-grade FT-IR system designed for simple one-touch
operation. The new Thermo
Scientific Nicolet iS50 FT-IR spectrometer is one of several
innovative products being introduced at ACHEMA to help customers
increase laboratory efficiency in markets ranging from pharma and
biotech, to chemical and petrochemical, to industrial and applied. These
new offerings, along with the company’s comprehensive portfolio of
chromatography, mass spectrometry, and environmental analysis
technologies, are being showcased within Thermo Scientific booth B7,
hall 4.2 at ACHEMA 2012, being held from June 18 - 22 in Frankfurt.
“In today’s economic environment, our customers need analytical tools
that help them work much more efficiently, while improving the accuracy
of their results,” said Marc N. Casper, president and chief executive
officer of Thermo Fisher. “To meet this challenge, a key element of our
innovation strategy is to strengthen our core technology platforms, and
the new iS50 FT-IR spectrometer is another excellent example. This new
product significantly enhances our industry-leading capabilities by
providing our customers with a system that greatly simplifies FT-IR
analysis to accelerate their results in research or process
applications.”
The Nicolet iS™50 spectrometer builds on the company’s industry-leading
Magna, Nexus and Nicolet 6700 spectrometry systems. It features
purpose-built accessories and integrated software designed to provide
all-in-one materials analysis that helps laboratories improve
productivity by solving analytical challenges more quickly and easily.
When equipped with optional modules, the iS50 system becomes a powerful
materials analysis workhorse capable of extracting vast amounts of
information from a wide range of samples.
Also during ACHEMA 2012, Thermo Fisher introduced its Thermo
Scientific UltiMate 3000 XRS UHPLC system, setting a new
standard of flexibility for the UltiMate 3000 UHPLC+ family. The
UltiMate 3000 XRS™ leverages the company’s Dionex UHPLC product line to
offer increased capabilities in solvent delivery and sample handling for
high-throughput laboratories. The large portfolio of detector options
further enhances this flexibility across a wide range of applications.
Thermo Fisher also showcased its new high-performance Thermo
Scientific TSQ 8000 triple quadrupole GC-MS system, an
easy-to-use instrument that enables greater analytical speed, precision
and accuracy while saving time and reducing laboratory costs. The TSQ
8000™ is ideal for forensic toxicology and sports doping testing, as
well as applied markets such as food and environmental analysis. For
food and polymer laboratories, the new Thermo
Scientific Process 11 twin-screw extruder is four to five times
smaller than competing twin-screw extruders, requires less sample
material and reduces analysis time.
