PerkinElmer Advances Elemental Analysis for Environmental, Materials, and Consumer Safety Applications with NexION[TM] 300 ICP-MS

Munich (ots) - New atomic spectroscopy platform offers advanced,
user-friendly parts-per-trillion range detection capability for a
diverse range of applications

PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader focused on the health and
safety of people and the environment, today announced the European
launch of the NexION[TM] 300 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass
Spectrometer (ICP-MS) for elemental analysis at Analytica 2010,
March 23-26, 2010, Hall A2, stand 401.

"The NexION 300 platform advances trace element analysis, and its
introduction is perfectly timed to help address global problems
ranging from contamination of our air, water and food to the
integrity of pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements, as well as
the safety of emerging nanomaterials," explained Martin Long, vice
president, spectroscopy, PerkinElmer.

He added, "Researchers can now benefit from a simplified system
for analysis of trace elements in the parts-per-trillion range,
allowing even non-expert users to perform complex analyses. The new
NexION 300 system also greatly reduces the need for daily user
maintenance and cleaning, translating into minimal downtime and less
need for highly-skilled operators."

The NexION 300 instrument features patented Universal Cell
Technology[TM] (UCT) and is the only instrument of its kind with
three modes of interference removal - Standard, Collision and
Reaction. These three modes allow scientists to choose the
appropriate technique for their particular application, based on the
complexity of the problem to be solved.

NexION's Standard mode can be used for simple and routine
analyses. Collision mode is effective for semi-quantitative analyses,
environmental sample monitoring and testing unknown samples. Reaction
mode, using patented DRC[TM] technology, provides the best detection
limits available, for even the most difficult elements and matrices
such as semiconductor testing.

The NexION 300 system can be integrated with chromatography
systems for effective speciation analysis to enable customers to
accurately separate and measure the toxicity, bioavailability,
metabolism and environmental mobility of elements.
