In the late 1970s, Hewlett-Packard introduced the HP-3300 series data-acquisition system, which was able to connect to 60 chromatographic instruments through an A/D converter. This was the beginning of what would become a revolution in CDS development within the analytical instrument industry. By the mid-1980s, all of the major analytical instrument manufacturers offered network-based data-acquisition systems Beckman, HP, PE, VG, and Waters. These were multi-user, time-sharing systems that used A/D converters to acquire data from the instruments. Instrument control, both HPLC and GC, was a capability that would soon follow. Several CDS manufacturers offered serial control of the HP 5890 GC while Waters also offered instrument control for their own HPLCs.

Mass spectrometry is presently one of the fastest moving areas in the analytical instruments industry. It is used mainly in three areas organic analysis, elemental analysis and isotopic analysis. This section is focused on the structural determination of organic compounds by mass spectrometry. 

A book dealing with instruments that have been developed by a community connected to both science and industry (termed the research-technology community ) has chapters on Fourier-transform spectrometers and liquid scintillation counters.309,310 Precision scientific instruments were produced by specialist manufacturers the growth of the instruments industry in Britain and France between 1870 and 1939 has been the subject of a book.311 Of the analytical instruments developed in the 20th century, the most widely used has been the pH meter, and its invention and marketing by A. O. Beckman has been described.312...

Today gas chromatography is likely the most widely used instrumental technique in the world, and its annual growth is above the average growth of the analytical instrument industry. One survey reports that the worldwide sales of GC instruments and accessories in 1990 were U.S. 700 miUions [6]. An estimated 23,300 GC systems were sold in 1990 [6]. This number is higher than any other analytical instruments sold in the same year. 

Pure zirconium metal is highly resistant to heat and corrosion, and it imparts these properties to its alloys. For these reasons it has become an important material in the aviation, aerospace, chemical, and surgical instrument industries, and in nuclear reactor technology. The ability of zirconium to reject neutrons is utilized for the protection of heating elements in pressurized water and hot water reactors (see also Rubel 1983, Deknudt 1988, Trueb 1990). 

The worldwide sales of analytical instruments are at nearly twice the level as of S years ago. To characterize the different shares from different parts in the world, one must consider the following the USA supplies 40-45% of the world market, Europe 20-30%, and Japan more than 20% [3]. Of the top worldwide instrumentation manufacturers with sales of over US 100 million per year, five are American, five are European and four are Japanese. The instrumentation industry is becoming increasingly global. 

Finally, it should be mentioned that the number of new materials and devices described in the literature, which results in commercially available products, is limited. Several innovative sorbents and adsorbents have not progressed beyond the stage of academic research, despite their potential application to relevant analytical problems. The reasons for this range from the lack of experience (and even interest) of some research groups to enter partnerships with analytical instrumentation industries, to the perception that the excessive rigor required in the application of analytical validation and certification protocols may sometimes delay or even hinder the acceptance of new analytical techniques. °°...

The United States leads the medical laboratory instrument industry, with an estimated 38 percent of the market. Asia, Europe, and Germany follow closely behind. A large area of development involves point-of-care instruments, which allow the patient and caregivers to monitor the patient s laboratory results at home or at the bedside. 

The applications of Fourier analysis are extensive in the electronics and instrumentation industry. One typical application, the computation of total harmonic distortion (THD), is described herein. This application provides a measure of the nonlinear distortion, which is introduced to a pure sinusoidal signal when it passes through a system of interest, perhaps an amplifier. The root-mean-square (rms) total harmonic distortion (THDrms) is defined as the ratio of the rms value of the sum of the harmonics, not including the fundamental, to the rms value of the fundamental.
