  • Instrument of the Year for Thermo Scientific Dionex Ion Chromatography portfolio
  • Best New Spectroscopy Product for Thermo Scientific Q Exactive GC Orbitrap GC-MS/MS
  • Best New General Lab Product for Thermo Scientific mySPIN mini centrifuge series

The global community of SelectScience readers and contributors has voted and selected the Thermo Scientific Dionex Ion Chromatography portfolio as 2016 Reviewers’ Choice Award for Instrument of the Year. In addition, the company received two 2016 Scientists’ Choice Awards for Best New Spectroscopy Product for the Thermo Scientific Q Exactive GC Orbitrap GC-MS/MS; and Best New General Lab Product for the Thermo Scientific mySPIN mini centrifuge series.

SelectScience announced the winners at an awards ceremony this week at the annual Pittcon Conference and Expo at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Accepting the awards was Dan Shine, Senior Vice President and President, Analytical Instruments, Thermo Fisher Scientific.

“The annual SelectScience Reviewers’ and Scientists’ Choice Awards provide an opportunity for our community of science professionals to select the products and technologies that have made the biggest impact to their research in the past year,” said Arif Butt, CEO and founder of SelectScience. “What’s so special about these awards is that scientists who are actively using these products are the only ones who have a say in who wins the awards. I congratulate this year’s winners on this fantastic achievement.”

“Our customers are the focus of everything we do – and we aim to accelerate their innovation and enhance their productivity through the technologies and products we bring to market,” said Dan Shine, senior vice president and president, analytical instruments at Thermo Fisher. “It is gratifying when our customers and the scientific community recognize the positive impact of our product portfolios. We are honored to receive these awards.”

The Dionex ion chromatography (IC) systems have led the industry for nearly 40 years, with instruments and solutions that represent state-of-the-art technological advancements and patented technologies, including the newest addition to the IC portfolio, the Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion HPIC system.

The Q Exactive GC system is the first to combine gas chromatography and high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) Orbitrap mass spectrometry for comprehensive characterization in a single analysis. The system is designed to increase performance in compound discovery, identification and quantitation to give GC-MS users a deeper understanding of their samples than ever before.

The Thermo Scientific mySPIN mini centrifuge series is designed to provide simplicity, efficiency and ergonomics in a compact footprint for personal workstations. These mini centrifuges are designed for protocols requiring quick spin downs, allowing users to easily perform fast spins within 20-30 seconds. Ideal for PCR, microfilter cell separation and HPLC protocols, they feature tool-free rotor exchange and an intuitive display for easy operation.

Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC Orbitrap™ GC-MS/MS System

Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC system is the first-ever combination of high resolution gas chromatography with high-resolution/accurate-mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap detection for the most comprehensive sample characterization. This easy-to-use system provides the most comprehensive characterization of samples in a single analysis for the highest confidence in compound discovery, identification, and quantitation. Building upon the flexible modularity of the Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1300 Series GC, including user-exchangeable injectors and detectors, the Q Exactive GC system has the quantitative power of a GC triple quadrupole MS combined with the high precision, full scan high-resolution/accurate-mass capability that only Orbitrap technology can offer.   Key Features: Advanced quadrupole technology (AQT) for high transmission of selected masses Resolving power up to 120,000 at m/z 200 Part-per-trillion-level sensitivity Thermo Scientific™ Extractabrite™ ion source for robust, rugged electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) performance Curved linear C-trap for precise ion injection HCD collision cell for higher energy collisional dissociation provides MS/MS ion characterization Intelligent identification software elucidates the nature of each injected sample. Applications: Untargeted and targeted metabolomics Food and beverage Industrial analyses Environmental Pharmaceutical Clinical and toxicology

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. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. 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.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. CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.

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.
