Shimadzu Biotech introduced the Axima-TOF, its new high-performance MALDI TOF-TOF mass spectrometer. Representing the next generation in high-energy collision induced dissociation (CID) MS/MS instrumentation, it brings enhanced flexibility to Life Science laboratories, significantly extending the type of analyses they can provide. With Shimadzu Biotechs intuitive software bundled as standard, the Axima-TOF is ideal for use in open-access lab environments, delivering maximum results while requiring the minimum in user input. As a result, the system is equally robust and reliable whether employed by novices, or expert users, while the inclusion of industry standard XML data exporting allows it to integrate easily and seamlessly into any workflow.
