  • Application Area:Drug Discovery And Drug Development

"Comparing with other company's similar products, this instrumentation has higher sensitivity and less maintenance. But the system operation software needs more improvements for making samples list easier. And the Auto-sampleler needs some improvement for holding the sample plate correctly, in case to damage the injector loop."
