Pharmaceutical

The pharmaceutical industry deals with all aspects of discovering, manufacturing and developing new chemical substances for therapeutic applications. Regradless of whether the developers are endeavouring to improve known substances, or to find new ones in nature or to optimise methods of synthesis or to develop new drugs, all these aspects have one thing in common: huge numbers of samples have to be characterised reliably and comprehensively by means of the screening method.
Therefore Bruker offers a broad range of high throughput systems for all analytical methods and tasks that guarantee fast success in the search for new active substances and drugs, with targets and medical tests.
Owing to genetic factors, people react differently to drugs. Both the effectiveness and the side effects can vary considerably from one patient to another. It is the declared objective of pharmacogenomics to identify relevant genetic factors by means of genetic tests and to take them into account in the development of tailor-made drugs. For routine use it is imperative that the relevant analytical method to be as fast and simple to apply as possible, yet at the same time maintaining maximum quality. The potential of the respective Bruker systems creates the basis for an individualised therapy and medication to suit the requirements of the individual patient.

Drug Discovery (FT-IR)

Infrared spectroscopy has come a long way in chemistry providing guidance during chemical synthesis and molecule identification. Combining the advantages of FT-IR with high throughput screening creates a new discovery tool for drug research at universities and industry.

Pharmaceuticals (X-ray)

Central to pharmaceutical research, development and production activities is the accurate and reliable analysis of all substances. Traditionally, non-destructive analytical methods using x-rays have been of essential importance for this task.

General Pharma & Chemistry (MS)

Our LC/MS systems support structural and quantitative analysis of analytes from complex samples. Ion trap MS, with its capability to perform multiple fragmentation experiments up to MS(11), is especially good in helping to gather structural information on unknown ingredients of complex mixtures.

Drug Discovery (NMR)

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a major tool for pharmaceutical drug discovery

Bacteriology and Microbiology (IR)

New techniques in infrared spectroscopy have led over the past two decades to new tools for microbiologists, geneticists and bacteriologists, such as the FT-IR high throughput screening system.

Natural Products (NMR)

The structural diversity of natural products is a significant challenge to structure elucidation.
