PerkinElmer Expands Offering in Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry to Meet Customer Needs

PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader in Health Sciences and Photonics, today announced the introduction of the Clarus^® 560 D Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) to offer another option for lower-volume laboratories’ routine application needs. The Clarus 560 D GC/MS combines the diffusion-pump capabilities currently on the high-end Clarus 600 D MS with the robust Clarus 500 GC enabling low-throughput laboratories to conduct reliable, cost-effective analyses.

“The Clarus 560 D GC/MS combines two highly effective analytical tools to help our customers with standard applications while being sensitive to customers’ budget requirements,” said Eric Ziegler, chromatography business unit manager for PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences.

“It offers increased productivity through state-of-the-art electronics, the fastest scanning rates to yield the most accurate data, the widest mass range and the latest in reporting capabilities for easy environmental compliance.” Ziegler added that the instrument also includes the most robust, flexible GC autosampler, an intuitive touch-screen interface and dual channels for additional application work, while maintaining a compact footprint for minimal bench space.
