Varian, Inc. Receives Order for World's First
Commercial GC/FTMS
Orlando, FL, Mar. 13: Varian, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VARI) today
announced that it has received an order for the world's first commercially
available gas chromatograph/Fourier Transform mass spectrometer (GC/FTMS). This
unparalleled product offering is the immediate result of the company's
acquisition of IonSpec Corporation in February 2006.
The GC/FTMS interfaces a Varian GC with a high
performance FTMS, which will provide researchers in environmental laboratories
unprecedented structural elucidation and quantitation of environmental
contaminants. FTMS offers the most accurate mass determination and the highest
possible resolution of any type of MS instrument available today. Its
combination with a GC instrument enables analysis of extremely complex mixtures
that are often found in environmental samples and physiological fluids.
"We are excited about the introduction of the GC/FTMS
because it symbolizes a significant advance in the ability of an instrument to
deliver unprecedented resolution and accurate mass measurement for the positive
identification of contaminants in the environment," said Martin O'Donoghue,
senior vice president of Scientific Instruments, Varian, Inc.
"We also believe that this unique combination of
technologies may be useful in life sciences applications as well."
Orders are being accepted now for the new GC/FTMS system with delivery scheduled
in approximately three months.
