Dear Bart,

whilst I cannot comment on the new instrument, I can comment on the "old"
TOF-SPEC 2E that we use. I find the TOF-SPEC to be reliable and accurate,
the software is very user friendly, flexible and any bugs are quickly
removed with software updates. The Australian reps are very
helpful/knowledgeable and I assume the same to be true in your part of the
world.

The new machine is squarely aimed at the Proteomics market and I am sure if
you want to do protein ID's then it is certainly worth considering.

Peter Hains.

I'm afraid I don't have a clever saying to put here.
