A new generation of high-end mass spectrometers launched in China to achieve full-spectrum quantitative detection
[ China Instrument Network Instrument Development ] With the rapid economic and social development in China, food safety, environmental pollution and other issues have become increasingly prominent. As high-end scientific instruments play a more and more important role in the quantitative analysis of food and environmental fields, the development of High-end scientific instruments have become an urgent need at present. Among them, mass spectrometers, as typical representatives of high-end scientific instruments, have enormous potential for development.
In 2017, China's mass spectrometer market grew by more than 20%, far higher than the growth levels in Europe, America, Japan, and other developed countries. The market size has exceeded 7 billion yuan. However, imported high-end mass spectrometers are almost entirely dependent on imports. China's high-end scientific instrument companies are generally small in scale, small in total volume, and lack investment in R&D, and have not yet formed leading companies with obvious leading advantages.
At present, the "supply-side reform" promoted by the state has proposed the strategic task of "Made in China" to "Made in China" for China's existing scientific instruments. It has also introduced a series of policies to encourage the development of high-end scientific instruments, independent research and development, and localization. Increase the participation of domestic scientific instruments in the research and development of domestic high-end equipment, and bring unprecedented opportunities for the development of high-end scientific instruments.
On April 28th, QuanTOF, a full-spectrum quantifiable time-of-flight mass spectrometry platform developed by China's private enterprise Rongzhi Biotechnology (Qingdao) Co., Ltd., passed technical appraisal in Beijing. After this new platform enters the market, it will break the monopoly of high-end equipment foreign companies of the same type to the Chinese market.
Rongzhi Biological was founded in 2013 and specializes in innovative national high-tech enterprises that research, produce, sell, and service analytical instruments and equipment, consumables, and solutions for biomolecules such as genomes and protein groups. At present, the company mainly focuses on the research and development, production, and market development of MALDI-TOF protein group identification and analysis products, microbial mass spectrometry systems, and microfluidic chip nucleic acid rapid analyzers.
In 2017, MALDI-TOF-MS, the world's next-generation technology developed by Zhirong Biologicals, occupies a position of “domestic uniqueness and world-leadingâ€, successfully breaking the technology blockade and monopoly of foreign manufacturers. It has played an effective role in boosting the rapid development of scientific instruments in China, and has effectively boosted the discourse power of the global high-end market for China's scientific instrument industry.
The mass spectrometer is based on the principle that charged particles can be deflected in the electromagnetic field, and separates and detects the composition of substances by the mass difference of the substance of atoms, molecules or molecules.
Compared with the previous-generation MALDI-TOF, the QuanTOF has a wider range of detection molecules, ranging from molecular weights of 100 to tens of thousands of molecules, including airborne contaminants and pesticide residues in foods. In the future, there will be great potential for application in the areas of food safety, hazardous residue analysis, environmental organic analysis, accurate biomarker analysis, and antibody molecular analysis.
