Shimadzu Scientific Instruments will host new product showcases and poster presentations, as well as a hospitality suite, seminars and a press conference as part of its exhibition plans for the 57th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry (June 1-4, Philadelphia, Booth 101).

Shimadzu will introduce the AXIMA Resonance™ mass spectrometer for the structural characterization and sequencing of biomolecules. The AXIMA Resonance ensures confident, high-quality results with high mass resolution and mass accuracy across MS and MSn analyses, variable energy CID control on the fly, high-resolution precursor ion selection up to 1000 FWHM, and highly efficient trapping functionality.

Other products to be highlighted at ASMS 2009 include:

Full Series of MALDI Mass Spectrometers (Assurance, Confidence, Performance, Resonance)

LCMS-IT-TOF Mass Spectrometer

LCMS-2020 Single-quad Mass Spectrometer

CHIP-1000 Chemical Printer

Prominence HPLC Front Ends (2D HPLC, nano LC, UFLC) for Mass Spectrometry

GCMS-QP2010 Plus

GPC-MALDI

More information about new products will be introduced at a press conference on Monday, June 1 at 10 am in the Convention Center, room 108B. For additional information and interviews, visit Shimadzu’s hospitality suite Monday through Wednesday in the Marriot (1201 Market Street, Salons C-D) from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 pm.
