Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, announced that its award-winning Atlas Chromatography Data System™ (CDS) now supports the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. Thermo Scientific Atlas version 8.2 provides LC and GC instrument control, digital data acquisition, chromatography data processing and reporting all in a familiar, easy-to-use and widely supported Microsoft Windows Vista environment.

Windows Vista provides a more secure computing environment for desktops and enterprise-wide laboratory operations. “As more companies deploy Microsoft Vista in the coming months, there is strong interest in adopting software applications that are tested and vendor-validated in the Vista environment,” according to Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager of Informatics at Thermo Fisher. “Atlas version 8.2 provides laboratories that are planning for Vista with an ideal CDS solution.”

Thermo Scientific Atlas CDS provides a highly scalable client/server environment for laboratory networks across life science and process industries. Designed as a multi-user, multi-instrument data system, Atlas enables remote network access to any chromatograph across the enterprise, including the new Thermo Scientific Accela™ High Speed LC. All data can be centrally viewed, collected, secured and protected – enabling organizations to make faster and more informed decisions. In addition, Atlas provides seamless integration of LC/GC results with enterprise wide laboratory informatics management systems (LIMS) applications including the full range of Thermo Scientific LIMS.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors.

Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.

Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
