Analytical instrument trends

Analytical instruments are developing in the direction of intellectualization. The main manifestations of development are: the automation of analytical instruments based on the application of microelectronics and computer technology, and data acquisition, calculation, statistics, analysis, and processing through computer controllers and digital models. Analytical instrument data processing capabilities, digital image processing system to achieve the development of analytical instrument digital image processing capabilities; analytical instrument combination technology to the test speed ultra-high speed, analysis of sample ultra-miniaturization, analysis of the direction of ultra-compact instrument development.

The continuous and rapid development of the world's analytical instrument business From the perspective of technological development, the world's analytical instrumentation technology at the turn of the century can be said to be undergoing a revolutionary change. The traditional optical, thermal, electrochemical, chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis technologies have all From the classical chemistry and mechanics electronics structure and the manual operation and application mode in laboratories, it has been transformed into an optical, mechanical, electrical, and computer (computer) integrated, automated structure, and is now moving towards the development of an intelligent system that rebrands itself. Diagnose high intelligent functions such as self-control, self-adjustment, self-judgment and decision-making.

Several instruments and laboratory-integrated comprehensive analysis management systems (LIMS, Laboratory Information Management System) have been promoted; instrument computers have built-in modems for Internet access, and manufacturers can exchange information with users or users globally (for example, manufacturers The instruments the user is using for remote diagnosis, guidance on proper use, or maintenance instructions. Users of similar instruments or users of the same analysis work directly for data exchange, intelligence sharing, etc., are not the direction of research and development, and universal applications are just around the corner.

From the perspective of the growth in the sales of world-wide analytical instruments, at the turn of the century, stimulated by the rapid development of global demand in fields such as agriculture, energy, information, environment, materials, biology, and medicine, coupled with the upgrading of analytical instruments driven by the development of analytical instrument technology. Continuously shortening, the annual growth rate of the world's analytical instrument market has been maintained at an annual growth rate of about 10% or more for many years. This shows that the analytical instrument industry is not a “sunset industry” but can constantly update and maintain the vitality of VI Sheng.
