Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced its Exactive LC-MS has won an Achema 2009 Innovation Award in the category of Laboratory and Analytical Techniques.
The Achema Innovation Awards are presented by the publishers of Process, PharmaTEC and Laborpraxis magazines.
The Thermo Scientific Exactive is a high-resolution bench-top LC-MS for simple and complex sample screening in a range of applications, including environmental, drug discovery, pharmaceutical and clinical/toxicology.
The Exactive is powered by Orbitrap technology.
It quickly and reliably detects and identifies compounds in complex mixtures while maintaining full compatibility with U-HPLC and fast chromatography.
The high resolving power, mass accuracy and dynamic range of Orbitrap technology allow rigorous characterisation of complex mixtures even in the absence of precursor ion mass selection.
The Thermo Scientific Exactive features an easy-to-use workflow enabler and productivity platform that makes it available to more users, including non-mass spectrometry specialists.
The Exactive is available with new Pathfinder analysis software, providing ease-of-use and access to advanced Orbitrap technology by non-expert users.
Pathfinder software enables users to easily find the right workflow for the right analysis.
Following the Pathfinder's interface lets new users quickly generate analytical answers without extensive training or detailed knowledge of the LC/MS system.
With Pathfinder, users simply log in samples, select a pre-defined LC-MS method and automatically receive their sample report.
