How come no one answered this question? What are the well-known mass spectrometer manufacturers at home and abroad?
In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology, mass spectrometry in the instrument is the most favored up, yesterday, "mass spectrometry is what the ghost," has said the mass spectrometry is widely used in chemistry, chemical engineering, medical clinical testing, pharmaceutical research, environmental monitoring, etc., and its demand is very large in China, alone in the field of medical clinical testing, the mass spectrometry service end of the market is estimated to be as high as 12.5 billion blue ocean market. Newborn genetic screening, vitamin D testing, microbial diagnostics, pharmaceutical testing and other testing areas, corresponding to the market space of 2.2 billion yuan, 7.6 billion yuan, 2.1 billion yuan, 600 million yuan, however, nowadays there are many manufacturers of mass spectrometers, and the middle and low-end mass spectrometry homogenization is very serious is a big problem, will be classified by mass spectrometry instrument, which mainly includes tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/GC-MS), time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF), coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), ion trap (QTOF MS), etc. Among them, triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry and time-of-flight mass spectrometry are the more widely used and demanded types of all types of mass spectrometry, and at the same time, the competition in the market is also the most intense.
The main brands in the mass spectrometry market currently include international brands such as Agilent, Danaher (AB SCIEX), PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, Bruker (BD cooperative agent), Waters, Mérieux (Shimadzu), etc., and domestic brands such as Shandong Insignia, Guangzhou Fenghua, Tianrui Instruments, Guangzhou Dare, Antu, Yi Xin Bochuang, Yi Cheng Mody, Rongzhi, Wo Xin, something analysis and so on. Below Ran recommends popular mass spectrometer manufacturers brands and products in the Chinese market.
Mérieux
BioMérieux was founded in 1963, and its diagnostic system consists of reagents, instruments and software designed around four strategic areas: infectious diseases, industrial microbiology control, cardiovascular disease and oncology.
Mérieux developed the VITEK MS, a fully automated microbial mass spectrometry (MS) system that utilizes MALDI-TOF technology to enable accurate species-level identification of bacteria in minutes, a database of 15,000 strains, and advanced classification algorithms that provide accurate diagnostic-level reporting.
The MALDI-TOF MS market has been dominated by both bioMérieux and Bruker, with shipments of the two approximating 1:1.Time is moving into 2018 and the biggest change in the market is that bioMérieux has dropped its price!
Last year's VITEK MS, which was generally priced at 2.7-2.9 million dollars per unit, has repeatedly been sold at 1.5 million dollars in 2018 bids, and the price cuts have been staggeringly hard and fast.
For Méliès price cuts, some industry insiders believe that "the price war has begun, microbial mass spectrometry may fall to within a million dollars within the year, do not sell this price is no business."
And I predict that the price cut is intended to occupy the Chinese microbiology mass spectrometry procurement market has increased dramatically, these purchasing units to the first-tier cities of the tertiary hospitals and CDCs around the main.

The future of mass spectrometer manufacturers in brief?
Although the Chinese mass spectrometry market is a late starter compared to the North American and European markets, it has much more potential for growth. Unlike some domestic instruments that can be used to compete with imported instruments, mass spectrometry is still the weak link of domestic instruments. However, we are pleased to see that more and more domestic manufacturers are turning their attention to mass spectrometry and that the country is focusing more on mass spectrometry. We have reason to believe that domestic mass spectrometry will "break" foreign brands and take its place in the market. In the next ten years, China's mass spectrometry market will be "a fierce battle". In the end, who is the biggest winner, let's wait and see!
