Microsaic Systems has launched its compact MiDas interface unit for real-time reaction data using a miniaturised mass spectrometry instrument.
The MiDas interface module allows simple connectivity with Mosaic’s miniaturised mass detector, the 4000 MiD, for on line and off line analysis.
It provides automated sampling, dilution and injection for direct mass spectrometry (MS) analysis at the lab bench or fume hood.
Colin Jump, CEO of Microsaic Systems said: “The MiDas module adds to the flexibility of our successful 4000 MiD by allowing the simple deployment of mass detection in a large variety of realtime applications.”
Potential applications include analysing the compositions of unknown liquids in a beaker, reaction monitoring from a batch, flow reactor and semi-prep LC. MiDas allows sample analysis by direct injection and reaction mixtures from both flow and batch reactors.
Features overview:
- Masscape software on the 4000 MiD controls the dilution and port in the MiDas for flow and direct injection monitoring.
- The separate sampling pumps used for batch reaction monitoring are fully controlled by the software.
- Automated sample sequences include flushing to ensure no carry-over.
- Easy-to-use software allows data analysis in real-time.
- Remote desktop control via LAN is available for remote control of both the MiD and MiDas.
- The 4000 MiD fits into a standard lab fume hood, opening up further opportunities in the field of on-line reaction monitoring.
