Shimadzu this week announced the global launch of its new Perfinity Digestion Platform, an online enzyme digestion HPLC system that automates the protein analysis workflow from digestion through LC separation to mass spec analysis.

The platform enables online trypsin digestion in as little as one minute as well as full online automation to improve reproducibility, the company said.

The system went on the market in the US in March. This week marks its launch outside the US.
