MOBILion Systems Celebrates a Milestone with 100 Peer-Reviewed Publications on Separations Technology
MOBILion Systems, Inc., an innovator in separation science, has proudly announced that its foundational platform known as Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulation (SLIM) has been featured in 100 peer-reviewed publications. This remarkable milestone was achieved as of December 2024 and reflects the substantial influence that SLIM technology has had on various fields, including drug discovery, environmental analysis, and clinical research.
The last decade has seen significant advancements in analytical chemistry, and at the forefront of this progress is MOBILion's SLIM platform. The inception of SLIM can be traced back to 2014 when it was first published by Dr. Richard D. Smith at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Since then, various researchers from both academia and industry have showcased the capabilities of SLIM, demonstrating how it enhances traditional methods for molecular separation. This technology plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of numerous applications, such as drug metabolism research and forensic science.
As noted by Melissa Sherman, Ph.D., the CEO of MOBILion Systems, the publications serve as vital evidence of the transformative potential embedded within the SLIM technology. Traditional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry workflows are challenged and improved upon, enabling researchers to explore deeper and more precise molecular characterizations. This innovative spin on existing methodologies has significantly broadened the horizons of what researchers can achieve, paving the way for novel scientific insights across various disciplines.
The journey from the initial concept of SLIM to its recognition in prominent journals like the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry and Analytical Chemistry is remarkable. Each publication marks a step in MOBILion’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of separation science. This is not just academic; the technology translates into real-world applications, empowering researchers and enhancing workflows across multiple industries.
MOBILion expects to continue this trajectory of innovation with the introduction of commercial products such as the MOBIE®-QTOF platform. This product represents the first significant outcome of SLIM commercialization, ushering in new capabilities for comprehensive analysis and characterizing complex biological and environmental samples. The company is also exploring advanced modes of operation like PAMAF for even more sophisticated analyses, signifying that the journey of growth and enhancement in separation technology is far from over.
Beyond the individual achievements, this milestone underscores the collaborative spirit within the scientific community. Researchers leveraging SLIM technology have facilitated ecosystem-wide improvements, showcasing the interconnected nature of drug discovery, clinical research, and even food safety analysis. Innovations stemming from SLIM have illuminated pathways in metabolomics research and environmental safety, proving that the implications of this work reach far and wide.
