Ash Scientific Ltd (UK) is officially appointed as Exclusive Distributor for Excellims Corporation for UK, Ireland and Scandinavian Countries. Ash Scientific Ltd will offer HPIMS technology for chemical and biological detection.

Founded in 2005, Excellims Corporation developed the HPIMS technology to answer the needs of government and industry for better alternatives of detecting chemical substances with speed and accuracy.

High performance ion mobility spectrometry (HPIMSTM) offers high resolution separation based on analytes’ gas phase ion motilities. HPIMS delivers resolving power that complements modern chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis. The IA3100 hyphenated chromatography-ion mobility spectrometer system is used for the most comprehensive analytical separation of complex samples. The benefits of HPIMS are realised through simultaneous separation and detection. Excellims provides standalone and transportable configurations with flexible sampling accessories that are a practical solution for laboratory, process and field use.

The superior separation speed and impressive 70+ resolving power of HPIMS make it an ideal tool for high throughput analysis and screening. It can be combined with or used in place of chromatography and mass spectrometry. HPIMS is well suited for applications requiring robust analysis that need to be performed in challenging environments, typically found outside of a lab.

HPIMS provides standalone chemical analysis at lower costs and without added complexity. Excellims GA2100 DirectSpray and RA4100 Research HPIMS instruments are used throughout the world in government and other organisations identifying contamination and detecting counterfeits in food and drug products.
