Top 7 Signs That You Should Service or Replace Your Mass Spectrometer

Top 7 Signs That You Should Service or Replace Your Mass Spectrometer

The user could improve their overall ROI by replacing their current technology. 
The system needs too much maintenance to run at peak performance. 
The instrument doesn’t meet the user’s expanding research requirements in terms of detection limits, linearity, speed of analysis, robustness, reporting and regulatory requirements.
Known standards and blanks are not correct when tested. 
Service and training costs are becoming too high. 
Replacement parts are too difficult to find. 
Growing business necessitates a new or additional MS system to meet demand. 

Top 6 Questions You Should Ask When Buying a Mass Spectrometer

What factors come into play when determining the MS specifications you require in terms of throughput, sensitivity, robustness, software control, ease of use, and ease of maintenance? 
What differentiates the vendor’s MS from others offered, in terms of performance and how easy it would be to upgrade? 
How do you validate the specification claims presented by the vendor? 
Has the data processing software been designed for enhanced analytics, with lab workflow in mind and does it support critical compliance requirements? 
What are important price points to keep in mind when selecting an MS? 
Laboratories need fast and effective services, including an effective distribution of spare parts, instruments, service personnel and education/ training. How does the company serve these needs globally?
