Business Wire
Bruker Corporation announced today that it has launched a newly
developed bench-top explosives and drug detection�system based on
Bruker�s proprietary, performance-leading ion mobility spectrometry
(IMS) technology. Incorporating extensive user input, Bruker has
combined its core expertise in IMS technology�with advanced sample
preparation and sample introduction methods to develop a new Drugs
and Explosives detection instrument, called DE-tector�. The new,
high-performance DE-tector instrument is specifically designed for
airport and homeland security markets, and offers improved
sensitivity and false-positive rejection capabilities. The
DE-tector product introduction is accompanied by the renaming of
the previous �Bruker Daltonics NBC Detection� division to �Bruker
Detection� division, to reflect the new broader focus and much
larger accessible market of this business. Bruker Detection is
responsible for developing, manufacturing and marketing specialized
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE)
detection systems for defense, as well as for safety and security
applications. The business is headed by Mr. Sebastian Meyer-Plath,
who has been promoted to Executive Vice President and General
Manager of Bruker Detection. Frank Laukien, President and CEO of
Bruker Corporation, commented: �With all the detection technologies
available within Bruker, entering the explosives and drug detection
market is the next logical step in�developing the Bruker Detection
division's product and applications portfolio. We are excited about
Bruker Detection�s good revenue growth and margin performance, and
we intend to further expand this business.� ABOUT BRUKER DETECTION
