Bruker introduced breakthroughs for life science and materials research, molecular imaging, and security and environmental monitoring, as well as for applied and industrial analysis at Pittcon 2008
The prestigious Pittcon Editors' gold award has been awarded to the breakthrough benchtop Bruker AXS Smart X2S crystal-to-structure small molecule X-ray system which for the first time allows chemists without crystallography training to obtain routine small molecule 3D structures under full automation.
The Pittcon Editors' bronze award has been awarded to Bruker AXS's novel benchtop S2 Picofox TXRF (total reflection XRF) system for easy-to-use and robust ultra-trace elemental analysis with straight-forward and cost-effective sample preparation.
The transportable S2 Picofox is expected to complement or replace AA and ICP in many pharma, geological, mining, environmental and food testing applications.
Moreover, the Pittcon Editors have given an 'honorable mention' to Bruker Daltonics's unique new high-performance apex-ultra Maldi-FTMS platform for drug and metabolite tissue imaging at therapeutic dosing levels.
