On May 18th, Focus Technology publicly responded to questions related to industry development and company layout on the investor interaction platform, clearly stating that the company will continue to adhere to the core development strategy of differentiated innovation and localization, face the long-term monopoly of overseas brands in the high-end scientific instrument field, continue to strengthen the independent research and industrialization of core technologies, and fully promote the all-round and deep level localization process of high-end scientific instruments, helping China's scientific instrument industry to break away from external technology dependence.
High end scientific instruments are the core basic equipment in many key fields such as ecological environment monitoring, semiconductor manufacturing, life science research, dual carbon monitoring, and biomedical testing. They are also an important indicator of a country's scientific research hard power and high-end manufacturing level. For a long time, the domestic market for high-end precision scientific instruments such as mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and chromatography has been highly dependent on imported equipment. Core technologies and components have long been monopolized by overseas enterprises, which not only increases the cost of domestic scientific research and industrial applications, but also restricts the independent and controllable development of related industries in China. Domestic substitution has become a core necessity for the high-quality development of the industry.
Having been deeply involved in the field of scientific instruments for many years, Focus Technology has always focused on tackling the "bottleneck" core technology challenge, abandoning the homogeneous and low-priced competition model, relying on independent research and development system, perfect industrialization platform, and localized service advantages, to build a core competitiveness that distinguishes itself from overseas brands. The company is based on pain points in multiple industry application scenarios in China, continuously optimizing product performance, iterating core technologies, and achieving systematic breakthroughs in the core tracks of mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and chromatography, gradually upgrading from single product substitution to complete solution localization.
At the level of technological research and development, Focus Technology and its sub platforms such as Spectrum Education Technology, Lingxi Optoelectronics, and Spectrum Health Medicine continue to deepen their underlying core technologies and overcome multiple key technical barriers for high-end instruments. In 2026, the company launched the EXPEC7350S Plus series triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS), which fills the gap in domestic ultra trace detection technology and can accurately adapt to high-precision detection scenarios such as semiconductor wafer manufacturing. It has successfully passed the application evaluation of leading domestic wafer manufacturing enterprises and broken the long-term monopoly of overseas brands in this high-end segment. At the same time, the company's independently developed LCMS/MS liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer has been approved for Class II medical device registration, successfully entering the high-end clinical diagnostic market and achieving an important breakthrough in the localization of high-end instruments in the field of life sciences. In addition, its Lingxi Optoelectronics HGA-331 high-precision greenhouse gas analyzer has broken through the monopoly of overseas CRDS technology, with key performance indicators superior to the World Meteorological Organization's WMO standards and the European ICOS monitoring standards. It has been selected as the first (set) equipment in China and successfully implemented in meteorological monitoring projects in many parts of the country.
In terms of product implementation and market recognition, several independently developed high-end instruments from Focus Technology have obtained authoritative certifications. In the list of the first (set) equipment in Zhejiang Province in 2025, the company's two core products, fully automatic capillary electrophoresis instrument and high-end spectral detection equipment, have been successfully selected, demonstrating the hard core strength of domestic equipment. With stable product performance, algorithm optimization tailored to local scenarios, and an efficient and fast localization service system, the company's high-end instruments not only achieve rapid penetration into the domestic market, but also gain recognition in overseas markets. In May 2026, its PuKang Medical full spectrum flow cytometer was repurchased by the European Institute of Immunology, becoming an important benchmark for domestic high-end life science instruments to go abroad and gain recognition from international authoritative institutions, breaking the monopoly of overseas brands in the global high-end scientific research market.
Compared to overseas imported brands, Focus Technology fully leverages its localization advantages and deeply meets the personalized needs of domestic environmental monitoring, semiconductor production, medical testing, scientific research experiments, dual carbon control and other segmented scenarios. It optimizes product adaptability and practicality in a targeted manner, and establishes a complete local R&D, production, and after-sales system, significantly reducing equipment procurement, operation, and upgrade costs, and solving the industry pain points of slow after-sales response, high customization difficulty, and high operation and maintenance costs of imported instruments. Relying on industrialization platforms such as Qingshanhu Innovation Base, the company has achieved large-scale production of high-end instruments and built a complete industrial chain capability from independent and controllable core components, complete machine research and development manufacturing to complete solution output.
In the future, Focus Technology stated that it will continue to focus on the core goal of localizing high-end scientific instruments, increase investment in core technology research and development, deeply cultivate various segmented high-end application scenarios, continuously enrich the matrix of domestic high-end instrument products, and continuously break through import technology barriers. At the same time, relying on the advantages of differentiated innovation and localized services, we will continue to enhance the market competitiveness and industry discourse power of domestic scientific instruments, help China's high-end scientific instrument industry achieve independent and controllable, high-quality development, and lay a solid foundation for the development of domestic scientific research and innovation, high-end manufacturing, green low-carbon and other key fields.
