Dear reader,
during April four of the "big MS7" published their first quarter results and these results were good to excellent for Bruker, Danaher, Thermo 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 Bruker, Danaher, Thermo 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 Office, CovalX 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.

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.
