We started out as a university venture. Osaka University has been developing many unique and cutting edge MS technologies, and has made it possible to create new markets by using high-resolution, compact time of flight MS. Our goal was to create a portable high resolution mass spectrometer with an intuitive software interface and a price point that would match its size. The last 2 years have been spent working towards realizing this dream. We feel we have come close to this goal with our first product release and hope you agree!
