ASMS2021 RecaP


When we started on the path to developing our first high resolution ion mobility product in 2018, there was no way that we could have envisaged having to launch it to a virtual audience who were unable to get up close and personal to see and experience the game-changing capabilities for themselves.

However, patience is a virtue, and we were thrilled to finally introduce MOBIE® to the industry and meet everyone at the first in-person ASMS event since 2019 and celebrate the 69th year of the show with all of our colleagues in the mass spec industry.

While we have been lucky enough to attend a few face-to-face trade shows in 2021 (restrictions permitting), the whole team here at MOBILion Systems had really been building up to ASMS – not least because it was right here in our backyard in Philadelphia!

Here’s a roundup of our exciting week at the show…
