INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mass spectrometry continues to gain widespread use for life sciences applications. In the past, access to this technology was primarily through core mass spectrometry laboratories run by highly trained specialists. With newer technology, the speed and accuracy of mass spectrometry is becoming available for an expanding list of applications including drug discovery, biomarker research, food contaminant testing and forensic toxicology. Applied Biosystems (NYSE: ABI), an Applera Corporation business, and its joint venture partner, Sciex, a division of MDS Inc.’s Analytical Technologies business, (NYSE: MDZ, TSX: MDS), will showcase many of these new applications during the 55th annual American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference in Indianapolis, June 3-7.
