Denver, CO – May 1, 2024 – Exum Instruments, a trailblazer in the development of instrumental and software ecosystems for scientific research, has proudly announced a strategic partnership with Edge Scientific, a premier distributor of scientific instruments based in Canada. This pivotal collaboration is set to revolutionize the availability and application of advanced mass spectrometry technologies across North America.
Empowering Research with Cutting-Edge Technology
By integrating Exum’s groundbreaking Massbox, the first of its kind Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (LALI-TOF-MS), with Edge Scientific’s extensive distribution network, this partnership is expected to significantly enhance the capabilities of labs and facilities dedicated to scientific innovation.
Jeff Williams, CEO and CTO of Exum Instruments emphasized the transformative potential of the Massbox: “From my background in cosmochemistry, I got to utilize nearly every analytical instrument in the field… The scientific instrumentation market is 20 years behind. Exum, and the Massbox, are here to bring analytical instrumentation into the modern age and accelerate the development of new materials and products.”
Strategic Collaboration for Enhanced Market Reach
Edge Scientific, known for its commitment to sourcing and supplying state-of-the-art scientific tools, will promote the Massbox across its network in Canada, targeting industries crucial to the country’s research and development sectors such as mining, lithium-ion battery production, and nuclear technology.
Stephen Wood, CEO of Edge Scientific, expressed excitement about the new capabilities the Massbox brings: “When we heard about the Massbox, we understood the value of its capabilities and saw an immediate opportunity to take it to market, particularly for mining, lithium-ion battery, and nuclear applications in Canada.”
Uniting for a Common Vision
The partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and service. Both companies aim to leverage their complementary strengths to reduce operational costs in labs and offer new capabilities that will facilitate groundbreaking research and development.
“We are excited and proud for Edge Scientific to represent us and help us grow across various research areas and different market segments.
