We are a developer, manufacturer and distributor of high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions. Many of our products are used to detect, measure and visualize structural characteristics of chemical, biological and industrial material samples.

Our products and solutions address the rapidly evolving needs of a diverse array of customers in life science research, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, applied markets, cell biology, clinical research, microbiology, in-vitro diagnostics, nanotechnology and materials science research.

Within the life science division our product portfolio includes magnetic resonance technology (MRMS), mass spectrometry technologies, gas and liquid chromatography, triple quadrupole mass spectrometry technologies. We have world leading technologies in Proteomics where our latest timsTOF Ultra technology is pushing the boundaries of sensitivity for single cell analysis. The timsTOF family now has a combined ESI and MALDI source allowing SpatialOMx workflows, for the latest in tissue imaging the instrument can be fitted with the MALDI-2 greatly enhancing ionisation capabilities. These technologies are complimented by our ProteoScape software, which allows real-time search and on the fly decision making.

GlycoSyn is proud to stand on a foundation of groundbreaking contributions to glycochemistry. We are co-located at the Gracefield Innovation Quarter with our Joint Venture partners, Te Kāuru - Ferrier Research Institute. Together, with our long-standing partnerships with academia and industry, we’ve been dedicated to translating glycocomics from the lab to the clinic for over 20 years.

In addition to carbohydrates, GlycoSyn has extensive experience with polymers, pharmaceutical excipients and complex small molecule chemistry. We can help you as a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) or a contract research organization (CRO) with significant regulatory and GMP experience.

GlycoSyn is honoured to sponsor the 5th Australasian Glycoscience Symposium. Representing us will be Business Development Manager, Tony Davidson alongside Steven Toms, Principle Process Development Chemsit. We look forward to engaging with you about your research and helping to navigate your path to the clinic!

Since its inception in 1875, Shimadzu’s philosophy has been to apply its thinking ‘for the well-being of humankind and the Earth’. That means real world solutions that benefit scientist, doctors and ultimately, everybody.

Our products and solutions serve the research community and analysts in diverse fields such as chemistry, molecular biology, medical science, environmental analysis and industry.

It has resulted in our leadership in spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, environmental analysers, medical systems, aircraft equipment, semiconductors and flat panel display equipment.

It’s that thinking that brought Shimadzu direct to Australia and New Zealand since 1991 with offices and service centres in all major cities.
