Perkin Elmer and Gilson have announced a mass-spectroscopy collaboration to support pharmaceutical and biotech scientists.
This collaboration will enable the companies to provide enhanced solutions for fraction collection and liquid chromatography.
As part of the agreement Perkin Elmer will develop a dedicated single-quadrupole mass spectrometer to be incorporated into Gilson's preparative chromatography systems, enabling scientists to use the specificity of MS to improve the efficiency of their purification processes.
Gilson will integrate Perkin Elmer's MS technology with Gilson's LC and fraction-collection technology through Gilson's Trilution software, bringing laboratory professionals enhanced signal specificity in their data.
The use of MS detection provides additional sample insight, as well as a high level of specificity that enhances the preparative system's efficiency.
