2009珀金埃尔默仪器收购美国Analytica of Branford, Inc.
Analytica 是一家质谱技术的先驱企业，引领着质谱领域新技术的发展方向。Analytica 位于康涅狄格州布兰福德市，于 1987 由 Craig Whitehouse 创立，Craig Whitehouse 开发了质谱仪首批电喷雾离子源之一。从此与质谱仪相连接的电喷雾离子源即成为分析应用中广泛使用的工具。自 1989 年以来，Analytica 一直致力于向现有质谱仪推广其离子源技术，同时它还是其它分析仪器公司的供应商。
Analytica of Branford, Inc.是由2002年度诺贝尔化学奖获得者Jhon B. Fenn创立的一家高科技公司，公司主要进行专利技术的开发，然后通过转让专利技术的使用权而获得公司收益。像大家所熟知的“电喷雾离子化（ESI）”技术即为该公司所拥有，全球任何一家生产电喷雾质谱的仪器公司，每销售一台电喷雾质谱仪器，均要向该公司支付一定的专利使用费。

nalytica of Branford, Inc. is a privately held company founded in 1987 by Craig Whitehouse who developed one of the first Electrospray Ion Sources for mass spectrometry at Yale University. Analytica released the first commercial Electrospray ion sources in 1989 that were sold as retrofit ion sources for existing mass spectrometers and on an OEM basis to mass spectrometer companies.

Throughout its history, Analytica has continued to improve Atmospheric Pressure Ion Source technology for mass spectrometry. In parallel, Analytica was one of the first companies to develop Atmospheric Pressure Ion Source Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometers with innovative ion sources and ion optics. Analytica sells its Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometers on an OEM basis and direct to end user customers. Analytica continues to develop and expand its mass spectrometer products with the introduction of a high performance Atmospheric Pressure Ion Source quadrupole mass spectrometer line.

Analytica's focus is to develop and provide high performance and cost effective ion source and mass spectrometer products for a wide range of applications including process control, LC/MS, environmental and bioanalytical. Analytica's innovative mass spectrometer products are built on a unified high performance MS hardware and software platform. Several patented elements and methods are incorporated into Analytica's ion source and mass spectrometer product lines supported by Analytica's extensive patent portfolio. Analytica specializes in customization of its standard product lines to meet specific OEM, analytical or interfacing requirements.

In addition to Mass Spectrometer products, Analytica of Branford, Inc. has developed a family of standalone atmospheric pressure ion sources, inlet probe types, controllers and vacuum systems that are designed to interface, as turnkey components, to custom vacuum systems and mass spectrometer instruments for research applications. This standalone ion source line, with its associated option products, is configured with a modular architecture to allow rapid prototyping and customization. The multiple inlet probe Analytica Atmospheric Pressure Ion Sources with integrated vacuum system and vacuum ion optics components can be configured to accommodate a wide range of custom instrument designs and research applications. Analytica of Branford, Inc. is structured to support rapid customization of its Atmospheric Pressure Ion Sources, vacuum systems, vacuum ion optics and analog and digital controllers to support customer application and customization requirements.

Analytica of Branford, Inc. is located in Branford, Connecticut and supports full instrument development, applications support and production facilities. Analytica offers full production and technical support to customers globally.
