Since November, the cathode press has been producing cathodes with a decisive upgrade: an integrated marking laser assigns each solid-state and gas cathode a unique 2D data matrix code (2DMC). Correspondingly, the accelerators are equipped with a vision camera system that fully automates cathode identification. This technology is now standard for new systems and is also available as a retrofit option for all existing Ionplus installations. The benefits for users are substanti

On Friday, February 27, 2026, we spent a varied and thoroughly enjoyable day of snow sports in Stoos. We traveled by coach from Aarau via Dietikon to Stoos.

The BioLMP software package has been under development for several years as a modern solution that supports the increased use of AMS, for example in the pharmaceutical industry. In such regulated environments, GxP compliance, documented processes, and customized workflows are crucial; at the same time, high sample throughput is becoming more important than maximum precision. BioLMP addresses these requirements: it simplifies sample management and measurement preparation, supp
