Top 10 News of Instrument Industry in 2010

First, food safety problems

Looking back at 2010, food safety incidents such as melamine, waste oil, purple sand cockles, crayfish, etc., have once again caused a searing explosion. Food safety issues have frequently become the focus of media attention. The food safety problem of the red light strobe made everyone feel at risk and once again sounded the alarm for the food supervision department.

There are many factors that cause food insecurity. The two main reasons for food developers’ desire to smoke and the oversight of the supervision department are lost. To ensure food safety, it is necessary to expand the scope of supervision. The relevant government departments shall cover all aspects of the food chain “from farmland to table” in food safety, and clearly specify all the activities related to food safety in planting and breeding, production and processing, raw material supply, packaging, transportation and sales. Food safety obligations of production and business units and individuals such as consumption. More importantly, food safety information should be clearly and timely informed to consumers. Especially in the wake of a major food safety incident occurs, transparent release of information is more important, should establish a long-term mechanism related to information release <br> <br> Second, the 2010 new pharmacopoeia requirements related to "analytical instrument" to expand

The 2010 edition of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" has been published and officially implemented in July this year. The new edition of the Pharmacopoeia has changed a lot. One of the highlights is that modern analytical techniques have been further expanded. This will inevitably increase the demand for “analytical instruments” for pharmaceutical companies and drug testing organizations, and will also bring business opportunities to many analytical instrument manufacturers. . Relevant departments have released the latest testing methods and standards to regulate the market. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has released a new method standard for the determination of atomic benzene in air, the determination of free chlorine and total chlorine in water, and the determination of atrazine in water since December 11, 2010. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China also issued 92 testing methods and standards to regulate the food industry.

Third, the Internet of things - a new driving force for instrumentation manufacturing

On May 20th, 2010 China (Hangzhou) Internet of Things and Instrumentation and Automation Industry Business High-level Salon hosted by the Zhejiang Province Instrument and Automation Federation and the Yangtze River Delta Scientific Instrument Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance was held in Hangzhou Jinxi Villa.

6. METTLER TOLEDO Thermal Analysis Technology Conference 2010

On December 7, 2010, as the leader in global thermal analysis technology, METTLER TOLEDO, one of the earliest and most important thermal analysis instrument manufacturers in the world, has been dedicated to providing you with more perfect heat. Analytical technology solutions. Following many pairs of thermocouples, non-model dynamics analysis, multi-frequency modulation DSC, TGA-DSC synchronization analysis, and high frequency DMA technology, this year we also introduced an innovative ultra-fast scanning calorimeter, flash DSC (FLASH DSC).

Breakthrough in technological innovation - Flash DSC1 heating rate up to 2,400,000K/min! FlashDSC is an innovative fast scanning calorimeter with a temperature increase rate of 7 orders of magnitude. This technique can analyze the structure reorganization process that cannot be measured before and is an ideal complementary tool to the conventional DSC. The heart of FlashDSC is a chip sensor based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-MechanicalSystems) technology that enables ultra-fast temperature rise and cool down experiments. FlashDSC is an ideal tool for studying the structure and properties of materials, crystallization kinetics, and the like.

VII. "Twelfth Five-year Plan" Brings New Opportunities for Instrumentation Industry

In 2011, instrumentation will soon usher in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, and the development of green, new energy and energy emerging industries, and emphasis on ecological environmental protection is the mainstream trend. As the source of innovation, the instrumentation industry plays a decisive role in the development of a green and low-carbon economy. China's instrumentation is a strategic emerging industry, while China's instrumentation industry lags far behind other developed countries in high-end equipment. Therefore, during the 12th and 5th period, the country will pay attention to the instrumentation industry, and will strongly support the independent innovation of the scientific instrument industry. China's quality inspection will achieve more breakthroughs in innovation, and the environmental protection industry will become an important content of the 12th Five-Year strategic emerging industries. broad.

VIII. Internationally renowned instrument manufacturers fight for acquisitions

The instrument industry is changing and capital acquisition has always been a hot topic. On the evening of December 13, Beijing time, Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO), a global leader in scientific services, wanted to acquire the world’s pioneer in ion chromatography technology—DIONEX (DIONEX)—for US$2.1 billion. . Previously, Thermo Fisher has acquired reagent manufacturers Fermentas, Proxeon, a proteomic workflow solution provider, and DeltaF, a process analysis instrument company, to shock the industry.

May 14, 2010 Agilent Technologies announced that the acquisition of Varian, a scientific instrument company, was completed, making Agilent Technologies the leading supplier of analytical instruments for the application and life science markets. Agilent paid $1.5 billion in cash during the transaction, which merged the two Silicon Valley pioneers into one.
