Currently Scion has only one high-end LC QTOF MS instrument which allows for high mass accuracy, high resolution, sensitivity, and very low range quantification. We need to expand our capacity for LCMS analysis to meet current and expanding demand and support our long-term research aims.

We are aiming to identifying a supplier to purchase and install a high throughput, triple quadrupole LCMS that is user friendly, compatible with our existing systems and operates reliably.

Scion is a Crown Research Institute (CRI), which is a government-owned company that carries out scientific research for the benefit of New Zealand. We specialise in research, science and technology development for the forestry, wood and wood-derived materials and other biomaterial sectors.
