Solve the "stuck neck" problem of high-end instruments, Zhejiang builds a provincial mass spectrometry research center

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission released the list of provincial engineering research centers in 2021, and identified 53 units including the Zhejiang Engineering Research Center for high-end power equipment as provincial engineering research centers
.
It also includes the Zhejiang Engineering Research Center of high-end mass spectrometry technology and clinical applications
.

 

High-end mass spectrometry technology and clinical applications Zhejiang Engineering Research Center is based on the Institute of Mass Spectrometry Technology and Application of Nanjing University, and is jointly constructed by Ningbo Panfu Biotechnology Co.
, Ltd.
, Meikang Biotechnology Co.
, Ltd.
and Ningbo Huamei Hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences
.

 

Ningbo University is the lead unit of the center, responsible for the research on key technologies of clinical mass spectrometry, breaking through the key technical bottlenecks of domestic mass spectrometry; Panfu Biotech established a clinical mass spectrometry system integration sub-center to overcome the integration problems of clinical mass spectrometry, and establish a production process to realize domestic clinical mass spectrometry Industry promotion; Meikang Biotech established a clinical mass spectrometry reagent research and development sub-center to develop supporting mass spectrometry kits for a variety of diseases to promote the application and promotion of clinical mass spectrometry in China; Ningbo Huamei Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences established clinical mass spectrometry application marker discovery and application promotion Sub-centers explore biomarkers and new detection methods for various diseases, and carry out clinical trials and promotion of clinical mass spectrometry and its supporting kits
.

 

　　As a representative of high-end analytical instruments , mass spectrometry has a wide range of applications in many fields such as environmental monitoring, food safety, industrial analysis, and clinical testing
.
The mass spectrometer market in China is huge and developing rapidly.
Relevant research data show that the market size of mass spectrometer in China in 2020 is about 14.
22 billion yuan
.
However, the high-end mass spectrometer market is basically monopolized by foreign brands such as Agilent, Shimadzu, and Thermo Fisher
.
98% of the purchase of mass spectrometers each year depends on imports .
Domestic mass spectrometry instruments started late, and there is still a big gap in technical level compared with imported instruments
.

 

　　Mass spectrometry instruments are indispensable tools for scientific research, and high-end instruments have a key influence on the exploration of the frontiers of the subject
.
The complete dependence of high-end mass spectrometry on imports makes China's scientific and technological development also constrained by others
.
On the road of exploring the localization of mass spectrometer instruments, China has achieved certain results.
Domestic instrument companies including Hexin Instruments and Tianrui Instruments have begun to gradually expand the market of domestic mass spectrometers, and have received strong policy support
.
The Zhejiang Engineering Research Center of Ningbo University's high-end mass spectrometry technology and clinical application was selected as a provincial engineering research center list in 2021, which is also Zhejiang's support for the research and development of high-end mass spectrometry instruments
.

 

　　The main research objects of the center are the core components of clinical mass spectrometry and the integration of the whole machine
.
With the increasing recognition of the clinical application value of mass spectrometry in recent years, the scale of the clinical mass spectrometry market is developing rapidly
.
As a new track in the application field of mass spectrometry instruments, clinical mass spectrometry will become an important battlefield for China to expand the market share of domestic mass spectrometry
.
The construction and development of the center will vigorously promote the advancement of high-end mass spectrometry technology and clinical testing applications, accelerate the gathering, training and upgrading of high-end talents in the industry, while enhancing the competitiveness and influence of Zhejiang Province in related technology industries, and will also drive The technical level of domestic mass spectrometers has been improved
.
