Bruker Corporation has acquired Tornado Spectral Systems, a Canadian company specializing in Raman instruments for pharma and biotech quality control. Tornado’s innovative Raman solutions, like High-Throughput Virtual Slit (HTVS™) technology, enrich Bruker’s biopharma Process Analytical Technology (PAT) portfolio. With a focus on accurate chemical identification, Tornado’s analyzers offer robust performance, swift measurements, and safety in hazardous environments. The acquisition aims to enhance Bruker’s spectroscopic process offerings, welcoming Tornado’s team for future advancements.
Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the acquisition of Tornado Spectral Systems Inc., a Canadian company specializing in process Raman instruments, primarily used in pharma and biotech quality control applications. Tornado, with over a decade of experience in innovative and industry-proven Raman solutions, will enhance Bruker’s biopharma PAT portfolio with its well-established products. Financial details were not disclosed.
Tornado’s patented High-Throughput Virtual Slit (HTVS™) technology measures highest-quality spectra even in difficult Raman analyses. Tornado’s portfolio of Raman analyzers includes the HyperFlux™ PRO Plus, Process Guardian™ and SuperFlux™, all with excellent performance compared to traditional process Raman spectrometers, for more accurate chemical identification and quantification in mixtures and at low concentrations. Tornado analyzers also allow faster measurements of dynamic reactions, and with low laser power they permit safe operation even in hazardous environments.
Tornado’s product line also includes rugged, high-performance Raman probes for immersion, flow cell, non-contact and large-spot measurements, each optimized for different process environments. Tornado analyzers can be multiplexed with a fiber-switch accessory, with one analyzer monitoring up to eight probes at eight different sampling points.
