Bruker Corporation is showcasing some of its latest innovations at Analytica 2024:
Applied and industrial markets solutions
EVOQ DART-TQ⁺
The new EVOQ DART-TQ⁺ mass spectrometer simplifies high-throughput testing with its integrated DART ion source, eliminating the need for upfront chromatography.
With a 20-second analysis time per sample, it provides a fast solution for routine food and environmental testing. By bypassing traditional chromatography methods, it enhances productivity and uptime while lowering the cost of ownership.
It offers a quick switch to LC-MS for conventional water and food testing.
ecTOF
The ecTOF is a novel GC-HRMS that records EI and CI spectral data in one GC run. It combines parent ion data (via soft CI) and NIST-searchable fragment ion spectra (70 eV EI) to reduce false positives and identify unknown compounds in complex samples.
The ecTOF also improves analysis speed, instrument uptime and expedites data post-processing. This elevates the analysis of complex samples in targeted, suspect, and non-targeted GC-HRMS.
BEAM FT-NIR
The new BEAM FT-NIR uses Bruker’s RockSolid interferometer for accuracy and stability. Designed for quality control, it is IP65-protected and suitable for solid and semi-solid materials, and can be fitted on pipelines, hoppers, or conveyor belts.
The BEAM improves manufacturing process control and minimises variations. Its single-point FT-NIR process analyser allows quick analysis in process environments, ensuring long-term stability for minimizing waste and rework.
D6 PHASER
The D6 PHASER makes advanced XRD methods accessible for cleantech markets. Dr Jan Vos, Researcher at Magneto Special Anodes, stated: “We are heavily invested in the development of electrocatalytic coatings that will form the beating heart of the next generation of water electrolysers in the green energy transition. Bruker's D6 PHASER provides us with the extraordinary power, flexibility and accuracy needed to push our coating development forward. We will have access to advanced X-ray techniques crucial for material science that were previously not available in a compact benchtop system.”
GIXRF
Gracing Incidence X-ray Fluorescence (GIXRF) for the S4 T-STAR excites a flat sample by changing the beam angle. The resulting signal profiles vary based on sample type, mass, and thickness.
GIXRF offers non-destructive material analysis with a compact benchtop TXRF spectrometer, used for quick qualitative assessments of structures such as nanoparticles, monolayers, or layered systems. This enables the monitoring of diffusion in multilayer systems and the study of metal dopant depth profiles in substrates.
Biopharma solutions
Fourier 80 benchtop FT-NMR
The Fourier 80 benchtop FT-NMR is now equipped with the synTQ NMR PAT adapter, enhancing process analytical technologies by structural insights, accurate quantification and efficient process QC.
The adapter synchronizes with soft sensors and techniques like IR and Raman, integrating data streams for thorough process understanding.
The Fourier PAT is useful in distributed API manufacturing, collecting reaction data for AI-driven process optimisation. This setup advances API production, supports distributed and on-demand manufacturing and improves safety, environmental impact and cost-effectiveness.
Triceratops SPR #64
The new Triceratops SPR #64 enhances real-time, label-free molecular interaction characterisation. Its innovative microfluidics allows 64 sensor spots, pushing the boundaries of SPR capabilities.
It offers industry-leading throughput without sacrificing data quality. Its user-friendly touchscreen and automation features, including robot integration make it convenient for SPR biopharma research.
