In early May, just before the ACHEMA meeting in Frankfurt, researchers attended the first FAIMS meeting in Germany, sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific, and showcasing several FAIMS-based analytical breakthroughs.
FAIMS technologies attract a diverse range of customers--big pharma, contract research, agriculture/bioscience, anti-doping, universities, and hospitals--and all of them were represented at the Thermo Germany event.
At the recent ASMS (American Society for Mass Spectrometry) meeting in Philadelphia, Owlstone Nanotech announced a phase one agreement where its FAIMS filter would be used as a front-end separation module for Agilent Technologies' Accurate Mass TOF mass spectrometer.
