Latest version of thermal analysis software tool offers greater ease of use and flexibility and optional support for 21 CFR Part 11
PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences has announced a new version of its Pyris thermal analysis software.
Designed to control thermal analysis instruments in materials and pharmaceutical labs that measure sample characteristics as a function of temperature, Pyris software manages instrument operation, provides extensive tools for analysis of data, and produces laboratory reports.
The new version of Pyris software features support of the Diamond TG/DTA and its autosampler, a product recently added to the PerkinElmer line through a partnership with Seiko Instruments.
Also included in this software are integrated routines for importing and analysing data collected on Seiko Instruments software platforms, a unique Pyris calibration wizard for thermal analysis, and optional support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
"Pyris software is the benchmark application for thermal analysis," said Michael DiVito, business unit manager for thermal analysis at PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences.
"This platform is the preferred choice because of its ease of use, flexibility, and range of capabilities across analytical techniques, and this new version of Pyris continues that tradition." Support for products based on Seiko Instruments technology within the Pyris platform demonstrates the growth and expansion of the partnership between PerkinElmer and Seiko Instruments.
Other instruments based on Seiko Instruments technology are planned for inclusion into the Pyris platform.
"PerkinElmer and Seiko Instruments will continue to cooperate in the development and marketing of thermal analysis instruments and software, and we expect this successful relationship to grow," said DiVito.
Thermal analysis instruments and software are important technologies for material characterisation in several industries, but especially in plastics and pharmaceuticals.
These technologies measure changes in physical properties, such as melting, softening, heat resistance, modulus and dampening.
