Bruker is a leading provider of high-performance scientific instruments and solution

Solution

In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase. In such a mixture, a solute is dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The solvent does the dissolving.- Types of solutions :...

s for molecular and materials research, as well as for industrial and applied analysis. Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR), headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, is the publicly traded parent company of Bruker Scientific Instruments (Bruker AXS, Bruker BioSpin, Bruker Daltonics and Bruker Optics) and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST) divisions.

In April 2010, Bruker created a Chemical Analysis Division (headquartered in Fremont, CA) under the Bruker Daltonics subsidiary. This division contains three former Varian product lines: ICPMS systems, laboratory Gas Chromatography, and GC-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer

Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer

A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer is a tandem mass spectrometer consisting of two quadrupole mass spectrometers in series, with a radio frequency only quadrupole between them to act as a collision cell for collision-induced dissociation...

 (originally designed by Bear Instruments and acquired by Varian in 2001).

• Bruker AXS: X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography
  X-ray crystallography
  X-ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X-rays strikes a crystal and causes the beam of light to spread into many specific directions. From the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams, a crystallographer can produce a...
  
  , X-ray fluorescence
  X-ray fluorescence
  X-ray fluorescence is the emission of characteristic "secondary" X-rays from a material that has been excited by bombarding with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays...
  
  , Atomic force microscopy, Atomic emission spectroscopy
  Atomic emission spectroscopy
  Atomic emission spectroscopy is a method of chemical analysis that uses the intensity of light emitted from a flame, plasma, arc, or spark at a particular wavelength to determine the quantity of an element in a sample...
  
  , X-ray metrology, Profilometer
  Profilometer
  Profilometer is a measuring instrument used to measure a surface's profile, in order to quantify its roughness.While the historical notion of a profilometer was a device similar to a phonograph that measures a surface as the surface is moved relative to the contact profilometer's stylus, this...
  
  , Microanalysis
  Microanalysis
  Microanalysis is the chemical identification and quantitative analysis of very small amounts of chemical substances or very small surfaces of material...

• Bruker Daltonics: Mass spectrometry
  Mass spectrometry
  Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles.It is used for determining masses of particles, for determining the elemental composition of a sample or molecule, and for elucidating the chemical structures of molecules, such as peptides and...
  
  , Ion mobility spectrometry, Gas chromatography
• Bruker Optics: Infrared spectroscopy
  Infrared spectroscopy
  Infrared spectroscopy is the spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is light with a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light. It covers a range of techniques, mostly based on absorption spectroscopy. As with all spectroscopic...
  
  , Near infrared spectroscopy
  Near infrared spectroscopy
  Near-infrared spectroscopy is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum...
  
  , Raman spectroscopy
  Raman spectroscopy
  Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared, or near ultraviolet range...
  
  , Terahertz spectroscopy
  Terahertz spectroscopy
  Terahertz frequency radiation for spectroscopy is typically generated in one of three ways:* time domain terahertz spectroscopy , using ultrashort laser pulses* photomixing, mixing two radiation sources to generate their difference frequency...
