26 Mar 2006

Cerno Bioscience announces that its novel easy-to-use post acquisition software package MassWorks™ has won the PITTCON 2006 Editors’ Choice Bronze Award following its show debut at the Pittsburgh Conference of Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy in March 2006.

This prestigious accolade is given to the best new product introduction for its contribution to the advancement of science, as judged by a panel of editors attending the show. Each of the 16 editors voting for this year’s awards was allowed to nominate up to 3 new products being launched at Pittcon for the first time. Cerno’s fast and versatile MassWorks figured strongly among all the nominations and won the final vote, positioned with the Bronze Award.

Dr. Yongdong Wang, president of Cerno Bioscience comments: “We are delighted and extremely proud to have won such a prestigious award for our first product debut - especially when there were so many remarkable new product introductions this year. Our unique patented MassWorks™ is an enabling technology for mass spectrometry. It is the result of extensive theoretical work and careful experimental validation on a complete range of commercial mass spectrometers. Having our achievements recognized by the cream of the industry makes all this hard work and dedication so worthwhile.”

MassWorks utilizes Cerno’s patented MSIntegrity™ calibration technology to achieve up to 100X improvement in mass accuracy on unit mass resolution mass spectrometers. This allows users to obtain mass accuracies of up to 5ppm making it possible to perform accurate compound identification through elemental composition determination, a capability usually only available on more expensive systems. MassWorks significantly improves the quality of data from any mass spectrometer from unit mass resolution instruments through to FTMS systems.This innovative, patented technology has been specifically developed for pharmaceutical and biotech environments and made its debut at PITTCON 2006.
