The charm of ICP-MS: How did Analytik Jena become a leader in elemental analysis?
In today's scientific research and industrial applications, the demand for elemental analysis is increasing. One of the driving forces behind this is the emergence of innovative technologies, among which ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) technology is leading the revolutionary change. As a leader in this field, Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG demonstrated its outstanding achievements in elemental analysis technology. This article will explore how Analytik Jena has become a global leader in elemental analysis through its advanced technology and continuous innovation.
"Analytical technology plays an increasingly important role in our lives. Precise measurements drive the development of science and industry."
Company History Overview
Analytik Jena was founded in 1990 in Jena, Germany, by two former Zeiss employees, Klaus Berka and Jens Adomat. Following the peaceful revolution in East Germany, the company began to promote analytical instruments in parts of Germany. The company first acquired shares in IDC Geräteentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH Langewiesen in 1994 and the laboratory analysis technology of Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH in 1995, laying the foundation for Analytik Jena's market share growth.
As time went by, the company actively expanded into international markets, especially into the Asian market, especially China, and gradually established its Life Science division. In 2014, Analytik Jena entered the ICP-MS market, a move that further consolidated its position in elemental analysis technology.
"Entering the ICP-MS market not only broadens our product portfolio, but also makes us one of the few suppliers in the world that can provide the three core technologies of AAS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS."
Business Model and Product Line
Analytik Jena's business model is divided into several main segments, covering the areas of analytical instruments and life sciences. Its analytical instrumentation business covers high-end systems for qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples in different industries such as environment, food, pharmaceutical and medical. We can see that these technologies maintain strong demand in the market.
