“Listen to our needs and problems, and constantly look to progress in the development of new instruments and concepts” | INSIGHT from CUSTOMER

Dr. Piparo partners need to be willing to listen to our needs and prob-

lems, and constantly look to progress in the development
of new instruments and concepts. Shimadzu fulfills all
Dr. Giusti tion, based on a patent, for the development of a new kind
these characteristics.
In fact, it is in this context that we started a collabora-

of detector for oxygen speciation.

How are our instruments helping you?
For many years, Shimadzu has been providing several
instruments that are important to our daily laboratory
work. These include specific sulfur detectors (SCD),
with completely new technology that allows us to
determine and quantify potential sulfur compounds
present in trace amounts, and mass spectrometers
that allow high-speed scanning without loss of
sensitivity or spectral distortion. But above
all, the main feature is that they provide At the entrance of Shimadzu European Innovation Center.
incredible robustness and stability over the years, ensuring stable measurements.

Finally, could you share any requests that you have concerning
analytical and measuring instrument vendors? How can we
help you?
The implementation of a platform for regular discussion where we
could, within our joint lab iC2MC, organize specific brainstorm-
ing sessions with Shimadzu experts in various techniques
(elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, chromato-
graphic separations) in order to better define our
actual expectations.
