At Pittcon 2007, Bruker Daltonics announced release of Compass 1.2 software for its HCT high-capacity ion traps and Microtof ESI-(Q-q)-Tof mass spectrometers, providing significant new functionality
The new Compass version 1.2 offers a variety of new features and workflows for proteomics and small molecule applications, including electron transfer dissociation (ETD) with the HCTultra high-capacity ion trap PTM discovery system.
A partner program allows efficient and application oriented development of HPLC software plug-ins in close collaboration with our HPLC partner companies.
Currently, the following major LC product lines are supported: Agilent 1100/1200/1200 RR HPLC systems, Waters Alliance and Acquity UPLC systems, Dionex Ultimate3000, Hitachi LaChromElite and Eksigent Express, plus the CTC PAL auto sampler.
Compass 1.2 is fully compatible with CompassOpenAccess LC/MS walk- up operation and with CompassSecurityPack for working in regulated environments.
Compass 1.2 now also fully supports all important atmospheric pressure ionization sources for proteomics and small molecule applications like ESI, APCI, simultaneous ESI/APCI (multimode), APPI, nano-electrospray sources, or a CE-MS interface.
Compass is Bruker Daltonics' unified software environment for all life science mass spectrometers with an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI).
It provides straight-forward instrument control and data processing for all Bruker Daltonics LC/MS, FTMS and Maldi-tof mass spectrometers.
