Intellection and Bruker AXS Sign Strategic Collaboration Agreement
BRISBANE, Australia & KARLSRUHE, Germany (Business Wire EON) April 16, 2008 --
Bruker AXS GmbH, one of the world leading manufacturers of X-ray
diffraction and X-ray spectrometry equipment, and mineral analysis
technology company Intellection Pty Ltd have announced a new strategic
collaboration agreement which builds on the strong existing OEM
relationship between the companies.
Under this agreement, Intellection will expand its range of products and
services, directly supplying XRF (X-ray fluorescence) and XRD (X-ray
diffraction) systems from Bruker AXS to its customers. This will allow
both companies to develop highly competitive global sales strategies.
“Intellection’s own
technological credentials are impeccable, with our QEMSCAN®
solutions the international market leader across the resources sector,”
said Intellection CEO Calvin Treacy. “Bruker’s
XRD and XRF technologies complement QEMSCAN®
analysis, making them an excellent business fit for us.”
“Intellection is able to strongly endorse
Bruker’s products –
the Bruker XFlash® SD detector currently
forms part of our QEMSCAN® solution, and has
delivered outstanding performance and reliability.”
X-ray analysis is one of the most advanced analytical techniques for
process and quality control in the minerals industry. It is well
established as a market leader for its accuracy and precision, ease of
use, simple and fast sample preparation, and its high grade of
automation and integration into any process control strategy.
“The combination of fast, accurate particle
analysis and identification technology provided by Intellection with
Bruker AXS’ X-ray diffraction, powered by the
unique and unmatched TOPAS data evaluation software, is the most
powerful method available for quantitative phase analysis in the fields
of minerals and mining,” said Bruker AXS
Executive Vice President Dr. Frank Burgaezy.
The new strategic collaboration agreement extends the range of
analytical processes offered to customers in the mining and upstream oil
and gas sectors, allowing Intellection to provide the most comprehensive
range of advanced automated mineralogy solutions available from any
supplier on a global basis.
It will also see Intellection and Bruker AXS undertake joint product
development projects to add value to both companies’
technologies.
