Meeting in the Spring City: Grand Launch of the Bai Ze Project — Precision, User-Friendly, Safe, Defining a New Benchmark for Chemical Adsorption Instruments

On July 23, 2023, Beijing JWGB Instruments Co., Ltd. held a grand unveiling ceremony for the BaiZe Project - Full Automatic Adsorption Analyzer, bringing together experts and scholars in the field of catalysis in Kunming. The theme of this conference was "Rui Shou BaiZe Rides the Wind, Colored Clouds Bless Scientific Research." The event aimed to showcase JWGB's latest milestone achievement in the development of the BaiZe Project, a state-of-the-art automatic adsorption analyzer, and share innovative results. Two new models, AMI-400 and JW-HX100, were officially launched and available for sale.

Mr. Ma Zhiyuan, the General Manager of JWGB, explained the origin of the name "BaiZe" for the project. He stated, "BaiZe is one of the four mythical auspicious beasts in ancient legends. It is said to have knowledge of astronomy and geography, capable of resolving both major and minor issues. BaiZe is considered an auspicious creature that brings good fortune. We chose BaiZe as the project codename to symbolize its auspicious protection and contribute to the exploration and development of scientific research. The BaiZe Project was officially initiated in July 2021, during the global spread of the COVID-19 virus. The name BaiZe also symbolizes the idea of devouring the virus to eliminate calamities. We hope the pandemic will end soon, hence the name BaiZe."

Mr. Ma further explained, "After two years of diligent research and development, the new products are based on the original technology of the American company AMI Instruments and the mature product AMI-300, upgraded to the AMI-400 model. (Note: AMI Instruments was established in 1984 and is the developer of the world's first fully automatic adsorption analyzer, ranking as the second-largest manufacturer globally.) It is our acquisition strategy that has become the cornerstone of today's technological innovation and JWGB's product restructuring, iteration, and extension in the next two to three years. JWGB will continue to deepen its global strategic development in the future."

Subsequently, Mr. Chen Qingyuan, Vice General Manager of JWGB and head of the BaiZe Project, detailed the features and advantages of the two new models. He stated, "The BaiZe Project is designed with the core concepts of 'precision, ease of use, and safety.' Our development is based on the original technology of AMI Instruments, combined with the research capabilities of the JWGB team, and the exploration and understanding of market demands. This has resulted in the birth of a new generation of fully automatic adsorption analyzers today."

"From a market perspective, as an instrument manufacturer, we see that there are still many unmet needs among domestic researchers in terms of product usage and data. However, due to the dominance of imported brands in the market over the years, the demands of domestic customers have not been given adequate attention by the imported original manufacturers. Product updates have been slow, especially considering the high prices, often ranging from four to five million yuan, and even reaching millions more," he added.

"And based on the demands of some researchers, which are limited to basic experiments such as TPD, TPR, TPO, we have developed the JW-HX100 basic model based on the AMI-400. We aim to create an instrument that is not only well-used and affordable for researchers but also incorporates the most advanced design concepts and is the most economical and practical."

The most exciting part of the event was the lottery session, where Professor Zhu Yifeng from the Department of Chemistry at Fudan University (left in the picture) and Professor Wu Xu from the School of Chemistry at Taiyuan University of Technology (right in the picture) became the lucky guests, each winning the grand prize of "free one-year trial."

The event was held concurrently with the 21st National Catalysis Academic Conference of the Chinese Chemical Society. After the conference, many teachers visited the JWGB booth at the catalysis conference for discussions. The booth attracted a continuous flow of visitors.
