PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader focused on improving the health and safety of people and the environment, has acquired Analytica of Branford, Inc., a recognized pioneer and leader in mass spectrometry (MS) and ion source technology. The acquisition is an integral part of PerkinElmer's strategic commitment to continue to grow its human and environmental health portfolio. 

Analytica's advanced technology complements PerkinElmer's human and environmental health portfolio. For human health applications, mass spectrometry provides an extremely detailed profile of medically relevant materials in drug discovery and molecular diagnostics. This technology is also the cornerstone of environmental detection and analysis and industrial monitoring. Areas of applications include environmental analysis, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical materials analysis, forensics and food safety.

Throughout its history, Analytica has continued to improve Atmospheric Pressure Ion Source technology for mass spectrometry. In parallel, Analytica was one of the first companies to develop Atmospheric Pressure Ion Source Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometers with innovative ion sources and ion optics. Analytica sells its Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometers on an OEM basis and direct to end user customers. Analytica continues to develop and expand its mass spectrometer products with the introduction of a high performance Atmospheric Pressure Ion Source quadrupole mass spectrometer line. Analytica's focus is to develop and provide high performance and cost effective ion source and mass spectrometer products for a wide range of applications including process control, LC/MS, environmental and bioanalytical. Analytica's innovative mass spectrometer products are built on a unified high performance MS hardware and software platform. Several patented elements and methods are incorporated into Analytica's ion source and mass spectrometer product lines supported by Analytica's extensive patent portfolio. Analytica specializes in customization of its standard product lines to meet specific OEM, analytical or interfacing requirements.

In addition to Mass Spectrometer products, Analytica of Branford, Inc. has developed a family of standalone atmospheric pressure ion sources, inlet probe types, controllers and vacuum systems that are designed to interface, as turnkey components, to custom vacuum systems and mass spectrometer instruments for research applications. This standalone ion source line, with its associated option products, is configured with a modular architecture to allow rapid prototyping and customization. The multiple inlet probe Analytica Atmospheric Pressure Ion Sources with integrated vacuum system and vacuum ion optics components can be configured to accommodate a wide range of custom instrument designs and research applications. Analytica of Branford, Inc. is structured to support rapid customization of its Atmospheric Pressure Ion Sources, vacuum systems, vacuum ion optics and analog and digital controllers to support customer application and customization requirements.
