IBO has selected Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Orbitrap Fusion MS as the product of the show for this year’s ASMS annual meeting. The new model features an all-new configuration that incorporates a quadrupole front end along with Thermo’s proven linear ion trap and Orbitrap mass analyzers. The improved system offers a resolving power of better than […]
The 61st annual American Society of Mass Spectrometry conference (ASMS) was held this year at the downtown convention center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Attendance totaled 6,139, down from 6,277 last year (see IBO 5/31/12). The number of new instrument introductions was clearly lower at this year’s event in contrast to the last several years. However, this […]
Company Announcements Advion named KONIK an exclusive distributor for Spain, Portugal and South American countries, with the exception of Brazil. LECO is supporting the West Coast Metabolomics Center, a consortium of research and service labs housed at the University of California, Davis, Genome Center.

Company Announcements SISCAPA Assay Technologies appointed Ian Wright, former head of the Strategic Innovation group at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, and Gustavo “Gus” Salem, former vice president and general manager of LC/MS at Agilent, to its Board in January. Thermo Fisher Scientific and the National University of Singapore’s Environmental Research Institute formed a collaboration to study […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker’s N8 Horizon instrument was introduced in November 2012. The N8 has a brilliant microspot source with a 0.5 mm spot size, and a sample holder that can be configured for small-angle and grazing incidence XRD. The standard Vantec area detector can also be augmented by an optional linear detector to provide wide-angle […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker debuted the Aurora Elite inductively coupled plasma (ICP)–MS, a high-performance sibling to its existing Aurora M90. The improved ion optics and fast electronics increase the sensitivity of the system, and Bruker considers it the most sensitive single quadrupole ICP-MS on the market. The base price is $178,000, though a complete system with […]
Company Announcements Protea named new distributors: Yair Technologies for Israel, BioAnalytic for Poland, Irida Iberica for Spain and Portugal, and IDL Teknolojik for Turkey. Bruker announced in October 2012 a collaboration with Nextval for high-throughput screening of drugs and their metabolites using its ultrafleXtreme MALDI-TOF/TOF. Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a collaboration with Immundiagnostik to develop […]
Overall growth in demand for MS is expected to be in the mid-single digits in 2013, which is somewhat stronger than 2012, but still well under the more typical pace in recent history of around 10%. Aside from portable and in-field MS, all categories of instrumentation are expected to experience much better growth in 2013. […]
Company Announcements In September, Agilent Technologies entered into a comarketing agreement with service provider MRM Proteomics to offer a complete solution for quantitative proteomics using multiple reaction monitoring. Agilent announced a comarketing agreement with Molecular Discovery to provide an advanced metabolite-identification platform, which combines their respective LC/MS technology and Mass-MetaSite software. AB SCIEX announced in […]
Company Announcements Agilent Technologies and South Korea–based Samsung Medical Center entered into a collaboration agreement in July. The Department of Laboratory Medicine & Genetics Research will use the 6530 Q-TOF LC/MS and 6430 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS systems to analyze clinical samples and develop novel clinical assays. In August, Thermo Fisher Scientific entered into a Technology […]
