Digital Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer Receives Red Dot: Best of the Best Award 2021
Shimadzu has been awarded a Red Dot: Best of the Best Award 2021 in the product design category for its MALDImini-1. The prize is the highest award in this competition and is reserved for the best products in a category of ground-breaking design.
“The winners of the ‘Red Dot: Best of the Best’ have demonstrated unique design competency. Their objects set trends in product design and give a glimpse of future developments. Only a fraction of our participants achieve this perfect symbiosis of aesthetics and functionality. It’s important to recognise this wonderful accomplishment,” said Professor Dr Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red Dot.
Shimadzu’s fi rst-of-its-kind MALDImini-1 digital ion trap mass spectrometer marks a revolution in the MALDI market: it combines smallest footprint, minimum time and micro-quantity sample volume for high-sensitivity MSn measurements. The instrument fi ts on a space the size of a DIN A3 sheet, allowing installation in places where mass spectrometers could not previously fi t. It enables ion trapping up to 70,000 Da and the MS/MS and MS3 functionality of the digital ion trap allows researchers to carry out comprehensive structural analyses with ease. MALDImini-1 can also be of great use for researchers working on glycans-related substances in the context of the COVID-19 disease.
The system is included in the online exhibition of the Red Dot Design Week beginning 21 June 2021. As a product awarded the ‘Red Dot Award: Best of the Best’, the MALDImini-1 is also integrated in the exhibition ‘Milestones in Contemporary Design’ in the Red Dot Design Museum Essen.

How to Detect Mercury, Arsenic, and Selenium in Environmental and Food Samples
P S Analytical (PSA) provides niche analytical instruments for the determination of mercury, arsenic, selenium, antimony and bismuth in many sample matrices including environmental and food and beverage samples.
The presence of these toxic metals in their various forms is of real concern. Increasingly the determination of both total and speciated chemical forms is required and this requirement generates further analytical challenges of sensitivity, selectivity and freedom for interferences.
In addition to analytical considerations operation issues such as; ease of use, reliability and robustness as well as very affordable running costs are all important and are recognised hallmarks or the PSA brand.
Coupling Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS) with either cold vapour generation or hydride generation has been PSA’s core competency for over 30 years. With the addition of analyte separation capability which allows for speciation studies, PSA offers some powerful tools to help with these endeavours.
For example, the separation of; methyl mercury from inorganic mercury in water, shellfi sh, seaweed, dairy products, vegetables and grains; the determination inorganic arsenic from less toxic organo arsenic species in water, rice, seaweed are examples of routine applications developed for this growing area of concern.
The team is constantly developing new methods and applications to address market concerns and so if you have a sample you are interested to know more about with, PSA would love to hear from you.
With literally thousands of systems in the fi eld today, and support networks in Europe, USA and SE Asia, PSA offers the ideal package of performance, reliability and support.
