Description
Mass spectrometry is one of the most powerful categories of analytical instrumentation in the world, and includes a dizzying array of technologies. Techniques such as FT/MS and SIMS that can cost more than a million dollars per system are used by world renown researchers in areas such as biology, medicine, electronics and nanotechnology to make breakthrough scientific discoveries. Pharmaceutical researchers use advanced mass spectrometry methods to discover potential new drug candidates, as well as to evaluate the efficacy and safety of all varieties of medicinal products throughout their development. Analytical laboratories around the planet make use of GC/MS, LC/MS and other mass spectrometry techniques to identify contaminants and other potentially harmful compounds in food and environmental samples. Soldiers and security professionals rely on portable mass spectrometry technologies to identify potential safety threats. The spectrum of applications is as diverse as the technology, and adds up to a global market that was worth nearly $4 billion in 2012.
