Bruker’s new SCION MS eliminates downtime
Hoping to enhance data quality and productivity for analysts working in routine testing and applied markets, Bruker has released the SCION TQ™ triple quadrupole and the SCION SQ™ single quadrupole mass spectrometers for gas chromatography (GC) detection.
A big part of what makes the new series special is its “lens free” technology, an industry first, which makes the systems easier to use no matter how much experience the operator has. The new technology also offers many benefits over traditional mass spectrometers, said Meredith Conoley, GC/MS Markets Manager at Bruker.
“Bruker’s patented lens free design keeps the ion beam tightly focused without the need for additional lenses,” he said. “In a traditional mass spectrometer design, lenses are needed to refocus the beam at critical points. The downside is that lenses need to be tuned and cleaned to keep system performance at optimum levels. This means ‘downtime’ when the user can’t run samples, something that is simply not required with the SCION SQ and TQ systems.”
Another highlight of the SCION series is how little space the new machines take up.
“The innovative design of SCION means that the new SCION triple quad system takes up the same – or less – bench space than most single quads on the market,” Conoley said.
Compound Based Scanning (CBS) is also a unique feature of the SCION series, allowing users to achieve high levels of sensitivity and quantitative precision while greatly reducing methods development and instrument setup time.
“We have finally taken a lot of the mystery and inefficiencies out of triple quads and MRM method development,” Conoley said of the CBS technology.

Cool it, instruments!
Water panel system solves heat-related issues
Scientific instrumentation is typically housed in an enclosed room, with just enough access for operation or service. The heat generated from equipment, personnel entering and exiting the room, and the enclosed facility itself can all affect the performance of sensitive instrumentation.
“Temperature fluctuation can cause calibration issues in some instruments – I remember one laboratory in which the temperature would rise during the day and fall during the night,” said R. Drew McCrady, Environmental Engineering Manager, JEOL USA Service. “They would have one set of calibrations for the morning, and another set for the afternoon. Temperature fluctuations can also cause image drift in imaging tools that have long exposure times. It is especially critical in nano-laboratories, where the feature sizes are at the atomic level.”
To help solve issues like these and maintain a consistently cool environment without adding air turbulence, JEOL, a global supplier of ultrahigh resolution electron microscopes, recently developed the JEOL Hydro Radiant Panel system.
The system is custom-designed for each room, taking heat load, local weather, facilities, and instrument requirements into account. It includes wall-mounted water circulating panels, acoustic absorbing materials, a water chiller, plumbing, an optional air exchange system, and a wall-mounted remote controller.
McCrady says reaction to the system has been positive.
“The customer feedback has been good and the temperature stability has been measured with great results,” he says. “Because most customers choose to install the Hydro Panels when they install a new instrument, the systems we have installed in the U.S. so far have all been new construction, and all of the customers have been able to meet the stability and drift specifications at these sites.”
