Mass Spectrometers
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have become leading MS customers. Because they work with human and test animal biological fluids and low-dose drugs, sample preparation takes center stage. Many of these workflows are automated for both sample and standards preparation.
MS originated as a stand-alone technique for volatile compounds. Next came the ability to volatilize high molecular weight materials through heating. The emergence of electron-impact ionization MS was a natural, as GC analysis requires volatilization. Find out what the future of MS holds.
In this month’s edition of INSIGHTS, our panel of four experts discusses the types of MS analyses and experiments they run and the top factors they consider when buying MS instrumentation. We also explore the trend of the shrinking mass spectrometer in a Q&A sidebar with 1st Detect president and CTO Dave Rafferty.
Bruker Chemical and Applied Markets (CAM), Fremont, California, US: Bruker has released an Application Note detailing the development for analysis of microcystins in drinking water, by direct injection on the recently introduced EVOQ Elite liquid chromatography mass spectrometer triple quadrupole (LC-MS/MS).
An end user shares how her company uses mass spectrometry and how she went about selecting the MS systems in her facility in a brief Q&A.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Mass Spectrometry market to grow at a CAGR of 7.83 percent over the period 2011-2015.
A Kansas State University professor's research analyzing lipids is helping scientists around the world understand plant responses and develop better crops that can withstand environmental stress.
Mass spectrometry (MS) has not quite become a routine acquisition for every lab that might benefit from it. Nor are MS instruments yet capable of serving routine users and experimenters equally well. But the characteristics and performance of instrumentation serving high and low-end applications overlap more now than ever.
The 8040 incorporates newly improved ion optics (UF-LensTM), which integrate two multi-pole RF ion guides, and UFsweeper™ II collision cell technology.
Exactive Plus Includes Thermo Scientific Orbitrap technology.
