Microsaic Systems showcased its new chip-based technology for the first time at Pittcon 2013.
The company claims that the Microsaic 4000 MiD, offers a redesigned unit with an even smaller footprint.
The culmination of more than a decade of research, the Microsaic 4000 MiD brings together two high tech fields – chemical analysis and silicon micro-engineering – to make possible a transformative capability in detection.
Its low operating cost and small footprint are designed make the instrument deployable in a wide range of applications where mass spectrometry has not been able to reach - until now.
The Microsaic 4000 MiD fits even more comfortably into a standard lab fume hood, opening up further opportunities in the field of reaction monitoring. Users are able to increase the use of mass spectrometry in the lab, while benefiting from significant cost savings, owing to fewer necessary structural components such as gas generators and air conditioning.
There are also sizeable savings with the use of ‘Plug and Play’ components which enable users to maintain the system themselves, resulting in less downtime and greater flexibility within the laboratory.
Pittcon 2013 took place last week in Philadelphia.
