How come no one answered this question? What are the well-known manufacturers of mass spectrometers at home and abroad?
In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology, mass spectrometry in the instrument was most favored up, yesterday, "mass spectrometry is what the ghost" has said mass spectrometry is widely used in chemistry, chemical, medical clinical testing, pharmaceutical research, environmental monitoring, etc., its demand in China is very large, alone in the field of clinical testing in the field of medical, 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 types of mass spectrometry that are more widely used and in greater demand, 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 the international brands Agilent, Danaher (AB SCIEX), PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, Bruker (BD cooperative agent), Waters, Mérieux (Shimadzu, Japan), etc., and the domestic brands are Shandong Insignia, Guangzhou Fenghua, Tianrui Instruments, Guangzhou Dare, Antu, YiXinBoChen, YiChengMeDi, RongZhi, WoXin, stuff analysis and so on.
The following Xiaoran recommended the 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, cardiovascular disease, and oncology.
Mérieux developed the VITEK MS, a fully automated microbial mass spectrometry (MS) system that utilizes MALDI-TOF technology for accurate species-level identification of bacteria in minutes, a database of 15,000 strains, and advanced classification algorithms that provide accurate diagnostic-level reporting in the clinic.
The MALDI-TOF MS market has been dominated by BioMérieux and Bruker, with shipments of both approximating 1:1.
As we move into 2018, the biggest change in the market is that BioMérieux has dropped its price!
VITEK MS, which was generally priced at 2.7-2.9 million yuan last year, has repeatedly been sold at 1.5 million yuan in 2018 bids, and the price cuts are 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 cuts are intended to capture the vastly increased Chinese microbiology mass spectrometry purchasing market, which is dominated by tertiary hospitals in first-tier cities and CDCs around the world.
Bruker
Bruker, one of the world's leading analytical instrumentation companies, introduced the first commercial MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer in 1992.

On July 10, 2018, Insun Bio signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Thermo Fisher to establish a mass spectrometry medical equipment production base in Jinan, driving the localization of mass spectrometry equipment through complementary advantages.
Yixin Botron
Yixin Botron's in-flight mass spectrometry is the earliest instrument in China to get the registration certificate for Class II devices, which has now been promoted to genetic testing, glucose-based testing, and so on.
As the first clinical time-of-flight mass spectrometry company in China to obtain a CFDA registration certificate, YiXin is the first in the world to create and realize the multi-platform of a single machine, developing the world's only one-machine multi-purpose platform - Clin-TOF time-of-flight mass spectrometry system, a machine that can meet the needs of microbial, protein, gene, and glycosyl-based clinical applications. One machine can fulfill the clinical applications in four major fields: microbiology, protein, gene, and glycosyl.
Currently, the system has built the world's first microbial mass spectrometry cloud center through a microbial mass spectrometry database based on the Chinese flora of more than 370 genera, 2,200 species, and 8,100 strains, which has been clinically validated for more than 200,000 strains.
AnTuBio
Microbiology testing is AnTuBio's traditional second main business, the company mainly rely on the sales channels of existing products, the new entry into the microbial diagnostic market more quickly and effectively.
Anto's Autof MS 1000 is expected to become the domestic microbial database and clinical sample testing qualification of microbial MALDI TOF clinical mass spectrometry, and in the original channel rapid volume.
In addition to these manufacturers, there are Wo Xin Mass Spectrometry, Tianrui Instruments and East West Analytics are specializing in mass spectrometry, not limited to flight mass spectrometry, as well as liquid phase, gas phase mass spectrometry, etc., the medical attributes are not very obvious.
Rongzhi biological is specialized in microbiological testing to do flight mass spectrometry, but the three types of device registration certificate application is difficult and time-consuming, the journey into the hospital is still early, expect to start from the food microorganisms such as a low-threshold industry.
In the field of mass spectrometry, in addition to the above manufacturers, there are a number of agents and service providers, such as ODI exclusively represents the U.S. JWT liquid chromatography mass spectrometry instrumentation and reagents, the company's Lin always has more than 20 years of experience in the old inspector, I have asked him a lot of professional issues in the field of mass spectrometry.

The company gradually laid out the clinical testing of mass spectrometry in 2008, and about half of the laboratories can now provide mass spectrometry testing, including newborn screening, Vitamin D, and drug concentration testing.
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 imports, mass spectrometry is still a weak point for 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 decade, the mass spectrometry market in China will be "a fierce battle".
In the end, let's wait and see who will be the biggest winner!
