Shimadzu Scientific Instruments and Proteome Systems have reached agreement to cooperate in sales and marketing efforts to provide customers with a complete solution in proteomics, including integrated instruments (Xcise and Chip) that bridge sample preparation and protein identification technology.
Both companies will dedicate their demonstration facilities into SSI's offices in Pleasanton, CA and Proteome Systems' offices in Woburn, MA, to this endeavor.
These facilities will handle the US and Canadian markets.
These new activities represent a further extension of the relationship between both parties created in 2000 as part of the Proteomics Alliance.
Osamu Ando, president of SSI, said: "this continues to expand our market for solutions in life sciences and Proteome Systems brings strength and depth into our North American strategy in proteomics. "Our jointly developed proteomics products, Xcise and Chip, are applications focused products and Proteome Systems's experience in proteomics will expand our market in North America. "Xcise and ChIP are very important products that combine with other Shimadzu Biotech products for proteomics such as Maldi, 2D-HPLC and LC-Maldi spotting robot, AccuSpot.
