GC/MS to meet a range of performance,
budget needs
PerkinElmer introduces Clarus 600 gas chromatograph/mass spectrometers (GC/MS) claiming best-in-class oven performance and fastest combined heat-up and cool-down rates for a conventional GC
PerkinElmer's Clarus 600 gas chromatograph/mass spectrometers (GC/MS) provides state-of-the-art electronics, enhanced software and a choice of three different pumps to meet the diverse performance demands and budget requirements of a range of laboratories "The Clarus 600 GC/MS is an extremely robust, precise and accurate system for both routine and high-performance analyses," said Jonathan Rennert, vice president and general manager, analytical sciences, for PerkinElmer's Life and Analytical Sciences division

Newly developed gene probes increase efficiency and speed of research in studies of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, detecting the presence of alleles by hybridisation reaction
"The introduction of the Clarus 600 GC/MS demonstrates our commitment to the GC market, offering reliable performance for a variety of markets and applications - environmental, forensic, petrochemical, chemical, food and fragrances, among many others".
Rennert noted that while other manufacturers OEM or partner to provide a complete system, PerkinElmer is unique in offering customers a single source for a complete and fully integrated system based on their performance and throughput requirements.
"Customers will have added confidence because all of the integrated components of a complete GC/MS system, from sample handling through separation, detection and data handling to results are developed, manufactured, tested and serviced by PerkinElmer to ensure that the system optimally works together," Rennert said.

The Clarus 600 MS, combined with the new Clarus 600 GC powered by the best-in-class oven, is designed for a variety of laboratory requirements to ensure increased throughput and improved detection limits and to provide significant return on investment.
Hardware improvements include best-in-class oven performance with state-of-the-art electronics, providing fast scanning and increased productivity, multiple pumping options to meet every lab's needs, a compact footprint to maximize laboratory bench space, the PreVent suite of column flow controls for increased uptime and productivity, and industry-leading sensitivity for both electron ionisation (EI) and chemical ionisation (CI).
The new PerkinElmer TurboMass 5.3 GC/MS software assures method compliance and increased laboratory productivity with expanded resources for the updated electronics and pumping options.
This software also includes the latest tools for evaluation with flexible reporting capabilities for a variety of industries.
More than 70 standard report templates and many other significant software tools are built in such as Sifi (simultaneous collection of selected ion and full ion scanning).
TurboMass software uses a sample-centric architecture requiring only two clicks to view the mass spectrum or other information collected on a sample, and advanced noise-reduction algorithms as well as other tools for complex analyses.
