We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Instrument Control",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Easy-to-use ion trap mass spectrometer from
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Mass Spectrometry), which we summarised at the time by saying "Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced an easy-to-use LCQ Fleet ion trap mass spectrometer for general analysis, toxicological screening and natural products
characterisation etc".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Over 50% increase in year on year earnings for NI from
National Instruments: "National Instruments reports revenue for first quarter of 2007".
In May 2007, we covered the news from National Instruments
- take a look at Instruments company reports 11% Q1 revenue rise
which says: "Instruments company, National Instruments, has reported an 11% rise of quarterly revenue to US$172 million, when compared with the first quarter of 2006".
Take a look also at the news release from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Chromatography), Control software specifically optimised for HPLC,
as well as Data logging simplified with graphical platform from National Instruments,
and Simplified data logging from National Instruments.
