Due to the increasing requirements for sensitivity and selectivity in the determination of toxic compounds, the use of mass spectrometric equipment, including tandem mass spectrometers, in analytical practice, Shimadzu Corporation pays special attention to the development of this type of instrument. Today, Shimadzu mass spectrometers occupy a leading position in the global market.
In addition, based on the unique developments of Shimadzu employee K. Tanaka, winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in the field of soft ionization systems for macromolecules, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers were created, which are capable of solving complex problems of detecting food fraud and rapid identification of microorganisms.
