Innovation in Gas Chromatography

Launched at the 23^rd Analytica Trade Fair in Munich, Germany (April, 2012) Bruker's long tradition of innovation and product reliability have combined to create the next generation of SCION Gas Chromatographs. By understanding and then designing to exceed the most critical performance and reliability needs of GC users, Bruker's new SCION 436-GC^TM and SCION 456-GC^TM have been designed to meet the most important user specified requirements - reliable performance, ease of use and simple maintenance.

Enhanced Operator Benefits

Bruker offers a range of SCION GC's to meet virtually all application requirements. All GCs are equipped with the convenience of: advanced EFC; a 9" inch, multi-language touch-panel designed for full GC operation in 13 different languages, making it a truly global instrument; embedded control architecture enabling the use of remote user interface software; gas saving capabilities; turnkey analyzer solutions; and targeted solution plug-ins that allow special reporting in specific markets.

Increased Productivity

With over 40 years' experience in gas chromatography, Bruker provide unrivalled expertise, not only in building robust instruments but also in creating solutions for ensuring productivity. With total control over design and manufacturing Bruker ensure the quality and technological excellence of its products is complimented and combined with features that deliver the  true benefits of productivity.

The new SCION 436-GC and SCION 456-GC set new standards for data acquisition speed at >600Hz per channel for rapid separations and greater analysis throughput. This key advance increases productivity and provides a platform that will inspire further advancement of GC separation technology. Dr. Frank Laukien, President and CEO of Bruker Corporation commented, "The launch of the new generation SCION 436 and 456 Gas Chromatographs reaffirms our commitment to provide innovative new products to the gas chromatography market. Continuing from the incredibly successful SCION TQ and SQ products, the new SCION GC's set the stage for even more innovations from Bruker in this key market segment."

The SCION 436-GC is a compact instrument supporting two injectors and two detectors, including mass spectrometer - the perfect choice when bench space is at a premium. SCION 456-GC provides industry-leading flexibility by supporting three injectors and four detectors, including the mass spectrometer. Meredith Conoley, Director of GC Marketing added, "The SCION 456-GC is the industry's first system to be able to simultaneously acquire data from four detectors, including a mass spectrometer, providing our users with a rapid time-to-benefit advantage."

Collin D'Silva, President of the Bruker Chemical & Applied Market (CAM) division, remarked: "The launch of our new generation Bruker SCION Gas Chromatographs, following the launch at  Pittcon 2012 of CompassCDS Client Server software platforms, sets the standard for high-productivity GC analysis. With the SCION, our customers get results."
