Syngistix software features an easy-to-use, intuitive interface, along with new automated method setup tools for faster implementation. Its user-defined and customizable reporting capabilities facilitate support for a variety of peripherals, including online auto-dilution systems, laser ablation, flow injection, and field flow fractionalization. The software's optional dedicated Nano Application Module can be combined with the NexION 350 ICP-MS for nanomaterial detection and characterization.

AxION® iQT™ GC/MS/MS: An advanced mass spectrometry technology providing unique detection capabilities that brings together triple quadrupole quantitation and Q-TOF identification in a single instrument.  Labs performing complex sample analyses across food, forensic, environmental and industrial applications can obtain more in depth information on their samples while simultaneously identifying a broad range of compounds -- providing them critical insights for faster decisions.

AxION® 2 TOF MS: Offers a broad array of detection capabilities designed to simplify and streamline virtually any analytical workflow that requires full spectrum capability, speed, sensitivity, or dynamic range.  It offers exceptional sensitivity, along with PerkinElmer's patented TrapPulse™ capability, for use in environmental, forensic, metabolite identification, impurity profiling, food safety, nutraceutical, or product degradation analysis.

AxION® DSA: An innovative sample introduction technology that brings ease, productivity and enhanced performance to any lab and provides a robust alternative to front-end GC or LC systems.  No up-front chromatographic separation, lengthy method development, and minimal sample preparation are needed when using AxION DSA. Analytical labs specializing in food, forensics, environmental, pharmaceutical and industrial research are utilizing the AxION DSA to significantly save analysis time. 

DairyGuard™ Milk Powder Analyzer: The only detection system available that tests for unknown adulterants and known compounds in milk powder -- such as protein, moisture and fat content.  It applies advanced algorithms for screening and performs the same fast measurements already routinely used for protein, moisture, and fat monitoring.  This ability to perform non-targeted screening can significantly decrease brand risk and help ensure the quality and safety of milk powder.

TMA 4000: A high-sensitivity thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) ideal for measuring the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in materials for the electronics and polymer industries.  Its rugged, easy-to-use design employs electronics and a unique Archimedean float system to control the amount of force applied and to dampen any vibration in the environment for an accurate determination of CTE.

Titan MPS™ Microwave Sample Preparation System: A safe, simple, cost-effective microwave sample preparation system for pressure digestion of a broad range of samples.  Its intuitive design offers a color touch-screen controller, top-loading system to access the 8 or 16 reusable vessels, PFA-coated stainless steel body and a wide range of pre-loaded digestion methods that make it easy to use, helping to increase lab productivity. 

Flexar™ PDA Plus™ Detector: Brings the flexibility of modular design, the power of sensitivity and accuracy, and the fastest sampling speeds to the most optically advanced photo diode array (PDA) detector on the market for food and environmental applications.  Its design encompasses the widest detection range of any PDA detector available and rivals or exceeds that of conventional UV detectors.

Flexar™ SQ 300 MS: Designed for high (and ultra-high) performance liquid chromatography applications, it is the ideal detection solution for analysts seeking a fast, accurate and powerful analytical system to make their labs and workflows more efficient and productive.  It helps analysts to identify, confirm and quantify compounds with complete confidence and is the ultimate "molecular weight machine" -- featuring advanced design solutions in ion source and mass spectrometry technology.

TG-IR-GC/MS hyphenated system with TGA 4000, Frontier™ FT-IR, Clarus® SQ 8 GC/MS: A hyphenated system that precisely determines the volatile compounds contained in or released from a material on thermal degradation, through the combination of infrared and GC/MS to fully analyze gases.  This helps to ensure safe packaging of products in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Spectrum Two™ IR Spectrometers: Help to perform fast, accurate IR analysis and assure the quality of materials across a wide range of industries, including product quality checking in QA/QC and analytical environments, forensics and academic teaching laboratories.  Highly transportable with optional wireless connectivity, this IR system delivers lab quality performance regardless of where the analyses need to occur - in the field or in the lab.
