Product news

Shimadzu’s innovative research has produced a unique offering that provides an integrated approach to life science and drug development. Visit Shimadzu at ASMS 2009 to see their full range of lifescience technology, including the new AXIMA Resonance MALDI QIT TOF mass spectrometer. Check out the new AXIMA Resonance...

The AXIMA Resonance combines the simplicity of MALDI, the power of MSn, and the accuracy and resolution of TOF to provide researchers a unique solution to the next generation of structural and sequencing challenges. Designed without compromise, 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. Low sample consumption allows more MSn experiments to be performed on the same sample spot.

A number of software suites, from fully automated data-dependent peptide mass fingerprinting to tissue imaging to post translational modification investigation, accelerate research.

In addition to the Resonance, we’ll be show casing our full range of MALDI instruments (Assurance, Confidence, Performance), the LCMS-IT-TOF, nano-LC, GCMS, and more.

Be sure to visit Shimadzu at their hospitality suite (Salons C-D in the Marriott) or booth #101 to learn more about the total solution to life science applications.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.
