15 May 2007

Pacer International has announced the new PAX-10™ precision-aligned pulsed Xenon light source for clinical diagnostic, invitro diagnostic, life science, drug discovery, proteomics and analytical instrumentation applications.

Pacer International has announced the new PAX-10™ precision-aligned pulsed Xenon light source for clinical diagnostic, invitro diagnostic, life science, drug discovery, proteomics and analytical instrumentation applications. Marketed and supported throughout the UK and Ireland by Pacer International, the PAX-10™ is PerkinElmer's latest addition to their PAX family of precision-aligned pulsed Xenon light sources. The new light source offers a full 10-Watts of power in a compact design that integrates the flash lamp, trigger circuit and power supply in an EMI suppressant enclosure. The PAX-10 features a pre-aligned arc position precisely located (+/- 0.05mm) relative to a datum feature on the mounting surface of the case. The pre-aligned arc position enables 'plug and play' field replacement, eliminating the need for alignment and reducing OEMs' costs and instrument down time. The PAX-10™ uses PerkinElmer's proven reliable Xenon flashlamp technology to deliver exceptionally stable, high intensity microsecond pulses of light covering a continuous spectrum from the ultraviolet to the infrared (120 to > 2000 nm). The new light source provides a long life rating of over a billion flashes and is available in two arc orientations with user selectable analog or digital intensity control. The PAX-10 is CE marked and fully RoHS compliant. Pacer own-brand products include opto modules and displays. Pacer offers customised opto and display solutions, and full design and manufacturing services for its customers. The company also provides comprehensive distribution of components, displays and systems, through strategic partnerships with principal suppliers. Established in 1988, Pacer has headquarters in Newbury, Berkshire, UK with US headquarters in Pennsylvania. For further information on the PAX-10™ precision-aligned Xenon light source please contact Pacer on telephone +44 118 984 5280 / email wendy.walker@pacer.co.uk
