Shelton, CT – July 2, 2025 – PerkinElmer is proud to announce that its QSight® 500 LC/MS/MS System has been named Innovation of the Year at the Labmate Awards for Excellence 2025, recognizing its groundbreaking contributions to food and environmental testing.

The QSight 500 stood out in one of the most competitive categories for its ability to tackle complex sample matrices, such as those containing PFAS, without the need for extensive sample preparation. Its direct injection capability and proprietary StayClean™ Technology significantly reduce contamination risk and instrument downtime, enabling laboratories to maintain high throughput with fewer maintenance interruptions.

“This award is a testament to our commitment to innovation that directly addresses the real-world challenges faced by analytical laboratories,” said Dominic Gostick, Chief Technology Officer at PerkinElmer. “The QSight 500 empowers labs to deliver faster, more reliable results while reducing operational costs.”

The system’s success was further amplified by its bold and effective “Dirty Type” marketing campaign, which resonated with lab professionals by highlighting the instrument’s ability to handle the dirtiest samples while delivering clean, actionable data.

With this recognition, PerkinElmer continues to lead the way in analytical excellence, offering robust, efficient, and user-focused solutions for the most demanding testing environments.
