Bruker (Nasdaq: BRKR) has launched the LUMOS™ II ILIM, a quantum cascade laser (QCL) based infrared imaging microscope designed for pharmaceutical and life science research. The device features a patented coherence reduction method for artifact-free infrared laser imaging in both transmission and reflection modes.

The microscope offers ultrafast IR imaging capabilities over large areas with enhanced spatial resolution. Key features include a large field of view, complete automation, and the ability to rapidly determine chemical complexity in biological tissues. The system integrates with Bruker's MALDI Imaging methods for multimodal tissue characterization and includes AI-powered data evaluation.

According to Dr. Guillaume Mabilleau from Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Angers, the microscope's speed and QCL technology represent a significant advancement for clinical research, particularly in bone disease diagnosis and treatment. The system also supports pharmaceutical tablet inspection and particle identification with automated sampling, and includes a Python interface for customization.

Bruker (BRKR) has announced its participation in the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco.

Bruker (BRKR) responded to a U.S. District Court ruling in Delaware regarding patent infringement between NanoString and 10x Genomics. The Court upheld a jury's damages award of $31.6 million plus interest for GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler products. The Court will grant an injunction against GeoMx products in the U.S., with exceptions for consumables sales to existing customers as of November 2023.

The ruling doesn't affect CosMx or nCounter product lines. GeoMx instrument revenue represents less than 0.2% of Bruker's total revenue. The company plans to seek a stay of the injunction and appeal the decision, maintaining that the patents in question are invalid and describe a different method than the GeoMx system.

Bruker (BRKR) faces a permanent injunction in Delaware's U.S. District Court regarding its GeoMx products, following a patent infringement lawsuit by 10x Genomics. The Court will enter the injunction in January 2025, prohibiting Bruker from making, selling, or offering GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler products in the United States.

The Court affirmed the $31 million damages from the November 2023 jury verdict, plus supplemental damages and interest. Notably, existing GeoMx users who installed instruments before November 18, 2023, can continue purchasing reagents for ongoing research. The jury found that the GeoMx products willfully infringed seven patents licensed to 10x Genomics by Prognosys.

Bruker announces the installation of a 1.2 GHz Ascend™ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer at the Swiss High-field NMR Facility, jointly operated by the University of Basel, ETH Zürich, and the University of Zürich. This is Switzerland's second 1.2 GHz NMR, complementing existing equipment including an 800 MHz NMR in Basel.

The new instrument will enhance research capabilities in structural biology and macromolecular analysis, specifically enabling detailed studies of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), intrinsically disordered proteins, and RNA research. The facility will support various applications including protein structure determination, dynamics measurement, ligand binding studies, and protein-protein interaction analysis.

Bruker (Nasdaq: BRKR) has launched the Dimension Nexus™ atomic force microscope (AFM) at the 2024 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit. This latest addition to the Dimension® AFM product line features the new-generation NanoScope® 6 controller and provides access to Bruker's exclusive PeakForce Tapping® technology along with over 50 AFM modes.

The small-footprint system is designed for both growing labs and multi-user facilities, offering upgradability and enhanced ease of use. The Dimension Nexus joins Bruker's successful product line, which has over 4,600 installations worldwide. Its compact and upgradable nature, combined with large-sample capabilities, makes it particularly suitable for multi-user laboratories where space and varying expertise levels are key considerations.
