Shimadzu Scientific Instruments Partners with Ion
Signature Technology on New Deconvolution Software for Organic Compound
Identification
N. Smithfield, RI -- September 12, 2005 -- Shimadzu Scientific
Instruments, Inc., a leading global supplier of analytical instrumentation,
has announced that it has entered into a new partnership with Ion Signature
Technology, Inc. (IST), a developer of advanced technologies for analytical
laboratories. This relationship will provide Shimadzu’s GC/MS users
with the benefits of IST’s new mass spectrometry software, IST
for GC/MS™. IST is designed for high-throughput testing
labs that perform GCMS analyses in the areas of environmental science,
forensics, petrochemicals, and chemicals. IST for GC/MS employs a powerful
set of algorithms created specifically for ultra-fast, high-sensitivity
compound identification and quantification, even in contaminated samples.
Through this partnership, the new software will interface with workstation
software for Shimadzu’s innovative line of GC/MS instruments, helping
labs to accelerate productivity and increase measurement sensitivity by
untangling complex data.
“Speed -- without sacrificing accuracy -- is the order of the day
for most testing labs, as they are under tremendous pressure to lower
detection limits and increase sample throughput rates,” stated John
Moore, Ph.D., President and CEO of Ion Signature Technology. “Through
our new partnership with Shimadzu and its high speed, high sensitivity
instruments, labs will be able to run analyses considerably faster, yet
quickly and efficiently identify complex compounds even in the presence
of co-eluting peaks, with full confidence in the accuracy of their QC
data.”
“This partnership with IST allows Shimadzu to offer enhanced analytical
solutions to our customers,” stated Bob Clifford, GC/MS Marketing
Manager. “The speed and sensitivity of the Shimadzu GC/MS instruments,
now coupled with the matrix isolation improvements from the IST deconvolution
software, provides the most complete analytical solution on the market
today. Both companies are committed to superior technology, and this partnership
provides our customers unparalleled performance from a unique hardware/software
platform, thus satisfying the needs of both high throughput labs as well
as those analyzing complex matrices.”
