Last year was somewhat of a pedestrian year for mass spectrometry (MS), with the market growing modestly in the mid-single digit range. Market growth was driven mainly by demand for LC/MS technologies, offset by weak demand for portable and in-field MS and magnetic sector MS instruments. For 2014, the overall market for MS is forecast […]
Almost always, an analytical technology can meet the needs of different end-user markets. However, the successful transition of a technology from one market, in which it may be well established, to an entirely new and different market is often a precise and dedicated process. In this article, IBO examines three research technologies that have made […]
Company Announcements In September, Thermo Fisher Scientific entered into a value added reseller agreement for IonSense’s ID-CUBE ion sources, which will be sold with the Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive and Exactive Plus LC/MS systems. In September, 908 Devices received $7 million in Series B funding, which included a new investment from Schlumberger. 908 Devices and Schlumberger […]
Company Announcements In July, AB SCIEX, Genedata and LECO partnered to deliver a collaborative software system to enable metabolomics researchers to process and analyze data across different GC/MS and LC/MS platforms. In July, Thermo Fisher Scientific agreed to exclusively distribute Mitsui Knowledge Industry’s Lipid Search software for the interpretation of lipidomic research data. In July, […]
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, extracts natural gas from underground shale by drilling vertically and then horizontally and injecting water, chemicals and proppants under high pressure into the well to release the trapped gas. According to the Energy Information Administration, US production of shale gas increased from 1,990,145 million cubic feet (mcf) in 2007 to 8,500,983 […]
Triple quadrupole LC/MS has established itself as the leading MS technique, as it can provide extremely accurate quantitation of trace level compounds in almost any type of sample. This has made it popular across a diverse range of industries and applications. Despite the size and relative maturity of the market, competitors have continued to enter […]
Company Announcements In June, CovaIX and Bruker Daltonics announced a strategic collaboration. They jointly support the CovalX High Mass Detection System for all autoflex and ultraflex series instruments and provide new and existing Bruker MALDI customers with access to CovalX applications for protein identification and macromolecular analysis. Waters named the Flavor Research and Education Center […]
IBO’s annual Industrial Design Awards recognize recently introduced products whose physical appearance and features make a distinct and valuable impression, enable the products’ functionality and successfully communicate the products’ messages. In a more general sense, the Awards highlight how the looks of the products make people want to use the products. The IBO Industrial Design […]
The promise of MS revolutionizing the clinical diagnostics market has been discussed for years, but MS has only experienced limited commercial success in the market. MALDI-TOF is one of several MS techniques that is now making inroads into clinical diagnostics labs but is far from achieving its potential in the area. While technological hurdles are […]
Company Announcements CovalX named AMR a representative for Japan. In April, Bruker Daltonics and Biodesix agreed to collaborate to support Biodesix’s VeriStrat diagnostic test, a multivariate serum protein test for personalizing therapy for patients with lung cancer, and future diagnostic tests based on MALDI-TOF MS. Bruker announced a collaborative effort in April with Canada’s University […]
