The Shimadzu MALDI EasyCare solution offers a convenient way to perform routine maintenance on your system and increase your uptime. Manual cleaning of ion optics is safe, quick (period from venting to ion optics removal is approx. 10 mins), easy-to-do requiring no tools (except single-point use of flat blade screwdriver) and no technical expertise due to full guidance by software wizard. All cleaning materials provided.

Whereas small-molecule drugs are mostly manufactured by chemical synthesis, biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using living cells. To increase the production quantity and consistency of proteins used as raw materials for biopharmaceuticals, it is important to understand the metabolism of host cells. Because fluctuations in organic and inorganic components in culture solutions can affect the quantity and quality of antibodies produced, it is important to analyze the quantities of glucose, glutamine, nucleic acids, vitamins, or other organic and inorganic components in culture solutions.

Food industry is the largest industry of the global economy and it includes various sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, production, processing, R&D, retail and more. It has global impacts and influences various other industry. Food is an essential part of our lives. With the current developments in the food industry, the demand, availability, access and trends of food have evolved to better cater to our needs and wants globally. Above all, the safety and quality of food is key to provide the world with food that is safe and nutritious.

The extended rinsing function automatically performs an additional rinse sequence when a target element exceeds a predetermined upper limit. A second rinse solution can be used in the additional rinsing sequence to improve rinsing effectiveness. Consequently, carryover is eliminated to ensure high-quality data.

ProActive Rinsing can shorten the analysis time by sharting the rinsing sequence in advance. While measuring multiple samples, the rinsing sequence can be started early by sending the autosampler probe to rinse while collecting data using sample already in the suction line. This greatly reduces measurement time and conserves sample.

consequently, a high solvation power.

PFAS are present in the products we consume, the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink and inside our own bodies. However, new technologies are being developed to prevent them lingering in the environment indefinitely. These technologies together with proper monitoring of PFAS are required to help mitigate the harmful effects these substances have on humans and ecosystems.
