Bruker Corporation, a distinguished provider of advanced scientific instruments and analytical solutions, has recently made public its acquisition of Tornado Spectral Systems Inc., a reputable Canadian company known for its process Raman instruments utilized in pharmaceutical and biotechnological quality control applications. With a proven track record of ten years in delivering innovative Raman solutions, Tornado Spectral Systems will significantly augment Bruker’s biopharma PAT portfolio by offering established products.
One of Tornado’s noteworthy patented technologies is the High-Throughput Virtual Slit (HTVS™), which enables the measurement of high-quality spectra even in challenging Raman analyses. Furthermore, Tornado offers a variety of Raman analyzers such as HyperFlux™ PRO Plus, Process Guardian™, and SuperFlux™, all of which have demonstrated outstanding performance in comparison to traditional process Raman spectrometers. These analyzers facilitate more precise chemical identification and quantification in mixtures and at low concentrations, as well as faster measurements of dynamic reactions. Notably, Tornado’s analyzers can operate with low laser power, ensuring secure operation even in hazardous environments.
In addition, Tornado Spectral Systems provides robust, high-performance Raman probes for immersion, flow cell, non-contact, and large-spot measurements, all of which are optimized for various process environments. The company’s analyzers can also be multiplexed with a fiber-switch accessory, allowing one analyzer to monitor up to eight probes at eight different sampling points.
Dr. Andreas Kamlowski, President of Bruker Optics, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the acquisition, stating, “The acquisition of Tornado process Raman technology and product is a great fit to expand our range of biopharma PAT analyzers. We warmly welcome the talented Tornado team with valuable applications expertise and years of experience.”
Additionally, Mr. Ambrish Jaiswal, the CEO of Tornado Spectral Systems, commented, “The Tornado team is proud to join Bruker. We believe that Bruker provides the ideal environment for our ongoing advancements in PAT, and we look forward to further expanding and enhancing Bruker’s spectroscopic process portfolio.”
Established in 2013, Tornado Spectral Systems specializes in designing, manufacturing, and selling chemical analysis systems based on Raman spectroscopy. The company’s headquarters is located in Mississauga, Canada, where its sales and marketing, engineering, technical support, and operations are based.
Bruker Corporation, on the other hand, focuses on enabling scientists to make groundbreaking discoveries and develop new applications that improve the quality of human life. The company’s scientific instruments and analytical solutions enable scientists to explore life and materials at molecular, cellular, and microscopic levels.
The acquisition of Tornado Spectral Systems represents a significant step for Bruker in expanding its capabilities in the biopharma PAT space, ultimately offering enhanced solutions for researchers and professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This move will further solidify Bruker’s position as a leader in high-value life science and diagnostics systems and solutions.
