Now in its seventh year, the Scion xD has stayed the same while newer subcompacts have improved by leaps and bounds. In 2007, there was no Ford Fiesta, the Honda Fit was in its previous generation, and the unloved Chevrolet Aveo did little to thrill buyers of the smallest cars. Against that competition, Scion’s five-door hatchback… …read more

Bruker Announces New High-Performance Scientific Instruments and Analytical Solutions for Life-Science Research, Industrial and Applied Markets at Pittcon 2013
PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)– At Pittcon 2013, Bruker today announced numerous new product introductions for research, industrial and applied markets, designed to deliver more confident analyses with increased sensitivity, specificity and productivity, as well as novel scientific capabilities which expand the boundaries of molecular and materials research. The new Bruker products introduced at Pittcon 2013 include:
Aurora Elite ICP-MS system (Photo: Business Wire)
Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry and Infrared/Raman Spectroscopy:
aurora™ Elite:
This new ultra-sensitive Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) for trace elemental detection features unprecedented 1.5 gigahertz per parts per million (1.5 GHz / ppm) sensitivity for precise and accurate quantification at single digit ppt levels and below. This makes the aurora Elite the most sensitive ICP-MS instrument, even exceeding the performance of expensive magnetic sector field ICP-MS systems in many aspects, and far exceeding the sensitivity of other quadrupole ICP-MS systems on the market today. Its extreme sensitivity makes the aurora Elite eminently suitable for semiconductor, geochemistry, materials science and related applications.
EVOQ™ Qube and Elite:
The new LC-triple quadrupole (LC-TQ) mass spectrometers, the high-performance EVOQ Qube and the ultra-high sensitivity EVOQ Elite, are setting new standards for analytical performance and quantitative robustness. Similar to Bruker’s successful SCION GC-TQ platform introduced in 2011, the EVOQ series delivers leading LC-TQ performance with major advances in robustness, ease of methods developments and productivity. The EVOQ platform was designed for a singular purpose – to very reliably quantify thousands of real samples with fast sample-to-report time. It delivers exceptional sensitivity, quantitative accuracy, linearity, and a wide dynamic range for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assays.
