TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Mass Spectrometry market to grow at a CAGR of 7.83 percent over the period 2011-2015.

Fast-Growing, Innovative, But Still Somewhat Enigmatic.

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.

Time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) works by imparting equal energies to all fragments. Since smaller particles thereby travel faster, their masses are determined by how quickly they travel from the source to the detector.  

Integration is the main reason for the virtual disappearance of the specialist GC or MS supplier that produces chromatographs for someone else’s mass detector, and vice versa.
