New source will enable mass spectrometers to detect and analyse low level analytes in challenging matrices, and give the analyst the ability to run more samples with less downtime
Thermo Electron has introduced the Ion Bright source for its Finnigan DSQ single quadrupole mass spectrometers.
Both the Finnigan Trace DSQ and the Finnigan Focus DSQ will now benefit from enhanced robustness and unparalleled sensitivity.
The powerful new installation specifications for the Finnigan DSQ mass spectrometers really underline the significant increase in sensitivity.
They unequivocally show the Finnigan Trace and Focus DSQs to be the most sensitive benchtop GC/MS systems commercially available.
The new Ion Bright source will enable the Finnigan DSQ mass spectrometers to detect and analyse low level analytes in challenging matrices.
It will also give the analyst the ability to run more samples with less downtime, saving on both instrument maintenance costs and lost time.
Detecting low levels of pollutants, drugs, explosives, and chemical and biological agents used in terrorist attacks can be a very challenging task.
By determining extremely low levels of compounds, the Finnigan Trace and the Focus DSQs can minimise extraction time and resources, while still achieving excellent levels of sensitivity for fast screens and a large dynamic range for quantitation.
The DSQ quadrupole mass spectrometers can significantly enhance a laboratory's productivity with less preparation time, smaller injections and sample sizes.
With the addition of the Ion Bright source, GC/MS users now benefit from a completely versatile and flexible solution affording analysts the required sensitivity in real world samples, not just clean standards.
