The Massbox is an incredible and transformational analytical platform, and every materials lab should have one.

Traditional analytical instruments were not cost and time effective to analyze our materials. Exum's tool enables high-throughput analysis of both our feedstock powder and printed parts to significantly boost our quality assurance and R&D turnaround.

Exum's use of the LALI method in its Massbox instrument is very promising and exciting for solid sample analysis. Combining the low-detection capabilities with intuitive, seamless operations, this technology addresses application limitations in other instrumental techniques.
