Bruker Metabolomics Poster

Dear reader,

during April four of the "big MS7" published their first quarter results and these results were good to excellent for Bruker, DanaherThermo and Waters! Agilent will announce its numbers in May; JEOL and Shimadzu also have not published 2011Q1 or Japanese financial 2011 annual results yet. 

After all, the very good prospects for mass spectrometry in the years to come, convinced us to start to work on Mass-Spec-Capital.com about one and a half year ago. The right decision! We have also reached several milestones this April. For the first time our [MSC] web portal now covers more than 2,000 MS news and over 1,000 products. In addition, we are bound to reach more than 1,000 deals and over 2,000 organisations at the beginning of this Summer!

Please enjoy this [MSC] Newsletter and follow us on Twitter for daily MS news at

Kind regards

Excellent first quarter results announced by BrukerDanaherThermo and Waters.
All first quarter results published by the major mass spec producers as of today were good to excellent. Agilent will announce 2011Q1 in May and JEOL and Shimadzu also have not published yet.


Singapore Eye Reserch Institute to Use AB Sciex TripleTOF 5600 System
The Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI) will advance biomarker candidates it identified for chronic inflammatory eye conditions into large-scale clinical trials for validation with the AB SCIEX TripleTOFTM 5600 System. SERI plans to use the data from the TripleTOFTM system to accelerate the process to develop a clinical test to significantly improve understanding of inflammation of the eye.


JEOL Establishes NMR and ESR Scientific Instrumentation Joint Venture
Effective April 1, 2011, JEOL, Ltd. and the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ) have formed a new joint venture company dedicated to the development of next-generation NMR instrumentation. The new spinoff, JEOL Resonance, Inc., will allow the flow of technology and expertise beyond the boundaries of existing organizational structures through a new "open innovation" concept. A network of collaborators from research institutes, universities, and suppliers, plus an investment of 1.5 Billion Yen from INCJ is the spark for a revitalized effort in research and development of advanced NMR systems. Additional funding will come from JASTEC, the only Japanese manufacturer of superconducting magnets for NMR.


Bruker IVD MALDI Biotyper Approved in Canada
i2A Canada and Bruker Ltd. have met the relevant Health Canada regulations for the Bruker IVD MALDI Biotyper, and the product is now available for sale as a Class 1 Medical Device to all clinical microbiology sites in Canada.


Swiss 2010 Start-up Biognosys AG Enters Collaboration with Novartis
Biognosys enters a collaboration with Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Srl, for which it will apply its proprietary Targeted Proteomics technology platform to an undisclosed discovery area. Since the company began operations in 2010, Biognosys has provided its targeted proteomics technology to identify and quantify proteins for companies in life sciences and healthcare such as Novartis, Pfizer, Integrated Diagnostics, and Philips.


Phenomenex Opens New Indian OfficeCovalX Opens New Production Facility in US & German BAM Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung Spins Off IsoAnalysis UG


TU Wien & Shimadzu: Fellowship Program for Young Scientists 
The Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) and Shimadzu will provide a Fellowship Programme for young scientists from Eastern and Middle Europe in the years 2011 to 2013. They will have the possibility to do mass spectrometry experiments in Vienna. The programme is co-ordinated by Prof. Allmaier and positions are still available.

Products & Events

Products & Events recently launched, forthcoming or added to the [MSC] Database


Thermo Introduces PEPotec Peptide Library for Development of SRM Assays
The PEPotec SRM custom peptide library that is designed for medium to high-throughput development of single-reaction monitoring (SRM) assays. The PEPotec SRM consists of fully synthetic crude peptides, with a length of six to 25 amino acids. Peptides are supplied in quantities of >0.1 milligram, with the minimum order quantity of 24 peptides. Typically, libraries are manufactured in a minimum of seven days. 


Intrinsic Bioprobes Launches Three New CLIA Approved MS-based Tests
IBI launched its first MS-based protein assays for in-vitro diagnostic testing. The assays for beta-2-microglobulin, cystatin C, and retinol binding protein are performed on IBI’s MASSAY platform at the CLIA-certified and College of American Pathology (CAP) accredited diagnostic laboratory of the Institute of Genomics Medicine, UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School.


Peak Scientific Introduces New Air/Nitrogen Generators for GC Applications
Peak has launched the ANG250(A)-ANG3000(A) series of air and nitrogen generators for GC applications. The product series includes the ANG250(A), the ANG600(A), the ANG1000(A) and the ANG3000(A)


Thermo Fisher Introduces ActivX Serine Hydrolase Probes
Thermo announced the introduction of novel reagents for the study of active serine hydrolases. ActivX Serine Hydrolase Probes contain a fluorphosphonate (FP) element that specifically binds to the active site of serine hydrolases. The probes enable enrichment of serine hydrolase enzymes and determination of enzymatic activity using fluorescent SDS-PAGE, Western blot or mass spectrometry (MS) workflows.


Silicon Kinetics Validates Affinity-capture Technique for Mass Spec Analysis
Silicon Kinetics Inc. announced lead customers adopting the Company's AC-MS (affinity capture - mass spec) application with SKi Pro™ instruments. In AC-MS with SKi Pro, only molecules with desired binding/release profiles are eluted directly into a mass spectrometer, through a fluidic interface called SKi Bridge, which is designed to work with all LC-MS setups, including UPLC-MS.
