Industry news

The Hellma Group - leading manufacturer of optical solutions and components for the process industries and research and analytical laboratories - has announced the conclusion of an agreement regarding the acquisition of the assets of Axiom Analytical Inc.

This acquisition will form the world’s leading supplier of optical precision modules for online spectroscopy in the field of process industries.

This transaction will represent an important milestone within our company’s history which aims at further developing our market shares by solutions that fit our customers ‘applications accurately. Moreover, it will offer great potential for more innovative products for the analytics business sector” explains Lutz Mayer, CEO of the Hellma Holding GmbH. Holm Kändler, President of the newly established Hellma Axiom Inc. adds “With the Axiom Analytical acquisition we will ensure profitability in the industrial sector of the Hellma Group and in addition will focus more on industrial trends such as the increasing automation and growing quality requirements.”

Dr. Mike Doyle co-founder of Axiom Analytical Inc. said “The Hellma Group and Axiom Analytical are a perfect match. The combination will enable on the one hand the strategic expansion of our business and the continuation of the past decades’ successful activities. On the other hand, customers all over the world will now have access to products and know-how from the two strongest companies within this market. This is truly unique and will create major synergies.”

Over the past years, the Hellma Group has been able to implement several transactions successfully. Based on the past experience, a team of representatives from both companies will control this integration process again this time. The two founders of Axiom Analytical Inc. Norm Jennings and Dr. Mike Doyle will work as consultants for the newly established Hellma Axiom Inc. The company location in Tustin, CA remains unchanged. Support and assistance for customers and suppliers will be provided from there.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers. Find the best fluorescence spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Spectroscopy LampsMonochromators, filters and spectroscopy lamps are available for specific applications of spectroscopy instruments. Available spectroscopy lamps include xenon, hollow cathode, ultraviolet, tungsten, halogen, mercury and deuterium.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Laboratory ManagementLaboratory management involves overseeing the operations of a lab, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, optimizing workflows, and maintaining equipment. Efficient lab management is key to ensuring accurate results and minimizing downtime. Technologies like laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and automated lab equipment are helping labs streamline operations.
