Dr. Zhang Xiaohua, Founder of Suzhou Anyipu, Delivers Speech at the Company's 10th Anniversary

Ten years, a few words from the heart:

Time has witnessed our growth; years have forged our craftsmanship. Today, we gather to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Suzhou Anyipu. Over the past decade, through challenges and perseverance, we've grown from humble beginnings to deep expertise, evolving from technical exploration to independent breakthroughs. Anypu has now established a solid presence in China's domestic mass spectrometry industry. Looking back, we are filled with gratitude and dedication; looking ahead, we embrace passion and hope.

Ten years ago, driven by the vision to "cultivate excellence and build China's best mass spectrometers," we launched our idealistic startup journey by registering our company on Taishan Road. You may know that Thermo Fisher and Shimadzu operate two mass spectrometer businesses right across from each other on this road. What gave us the courage to establish Suzhou Anyipu between these industry giants? It was our dream: to break monopolies and achieve domestic substitution.

From a single founder in one office and "convincing" the first employee, Xiao Ni, to a team of over ten—including fresh graduates like Xiao Zha, Xiao Lu, and Xiao Hao—today we have 136 dedicated colleagues. Over the past decade, we've grown from having no products to offering a comprehensive organic mass spectrometry portfolio, including气质 (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometers. Every step forward reflects the sweat and wisdom of all Anypu people.

For a decade, we have remained committed to independent R&D, achieving multiple industry firsts in China's mass spectrometry sector. Our GC-MS systems have sold over 800 units domestically, ranking among the top国产 products. We pioneered the commercialization of dual-quadrupole mass spectrometers, breaking foreign technology monopolies. We are also the first Chinese company to mass-produce portable quadrupole mass spectrometers. In 2024, we launched the GC-Cassitrap 120K high-resolution GC-MS, shattering a two-decade-long technological blockade and becoming the first Chinese and second global enterprise to master and industrialize Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) high-resolution mass spectrometry core technology. Just this month, our 10th anniversary product launch series concluded with the debut of ANYEEP LC Cassitrap 120K—the first quadrupole-FT-ICR LC-MS system in China. This marks our most meaningful tribute to AnYiPu's tenth anniversary.

Over the past decade, we have earned continuous recognition from investors and the market. The company has successfully completed multiple funding rounds—including Angel, Series A, A+, and Series B—and has delivered over 1,000 mass spectrometry instruments. Earlier this month 4, at the 19th Scientific Instrument Development Conference, I was honored to accept the "Special Contribution Award for R&D in the Scientific Instrument Industry" on behalf of our company. This industry-wide endorsement validates Anypu's ten years of dedicated research, practical innovation, and unwavering commitment.

Aniyu's decade of growth, every technical breakthrough, and each market recognition owe much to the dedication and contributions of every family member. Thank you to our R&D team on the front lines for their relentless pursuit of excellence, tackling challenges day and night to build the core foundation of our innovation. Thank you to all partners in production, sales, and service for your rigorous professionalism and full commitment, driving high-quality domestic mass spectrometry products to market and serving our customers. Thank you to our long-standing employees who have witnessed our journey from inception to maturity, staying true to our mission and walking this path together. And thank you to our new colleagues whose fresh energy and innovative spirit are fueling our continuous evolution and advancement.

Ten years is a milestone and a new beginning. High-end scientific instruments are a critical foundation for measuring a nation's technological innovation strength. With vast opportunities remaining for domestic substitution, our journey ahead is long, but we move forward with full confidence. There must be one generation to lead the development of China's mass spectrometry industry; another to pioneer its commercialization; and yet another to drive its widespread adoption. Through manufacturing, selling, and using these instruments, we accumulate experience and elevate the quality of China-made mass spectrometers. We refuse to remain dependent on foreign technologies that could strangle us. Because of our work, China's domestic lithography machines now incorporate domestic gas analysis mass spectrometers. Thanks to our efforts, Tianwen-2, Chang'e-7, and the Tiangong Space Station all utilize Chinese-made mass spectrometers. Therefore, every one of us here plays a vital and meaningful role.

Anypu's growth would not have been possible without the trust and support of society. We thank our customers for your patience and confidence, which gave us the courage to experiment, learn, and iterate. We thank our partners for walking alongside us, enabling us to grow stronger through collaboration across the supply chain. We also thank government agencies at all levels and industry experts for their guidance and direction. This weighty trust is our greatest motivation to keep moving forward.

Looking ahead to the next decade, we recognize that the rise of domestic scientific instruments remains a long journey. The industry now faces unprecedented competition and challenges; as global leaders close in, we must master cost reduction and efficiency gains. But AnYiPu will not retreat. We remain committed to a long-term strategy, striving to capture market share and build reputation on the front lines. At the same time, we will actively embrace artificial intelligence and automation, deeply integrating them with mass spectrometry technology to achieve breakthrough growth in this new wave of technological transformation.

Colleagues, a decade of dedication has sharpen our edge. As we march toward new heights, the next ten years for Amspec will be even more magnificent. Let us continue to join hands, empowering industrial upgrades with innovation and showcasing China's manufacturing prowess through cutting-edge domestic products. I am confident that as long as we remain steadfast in our original mission and forge ahead with determination, the vast horizon of Chinese mass spectrometry will proudly bear Amspec's most brilliant mark!

Finally, happy 10th birthday to Suzhou Anyipu!

Thank you, everyone!
