Bruker Daltonics Introduces Novel LC/GC Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer micrOTOF(TM) II for LC/MS and GC/MS on One System

Business Wire
At ASMS 2008, Bruker Daltonics today announced the new further
enhanced micrOTOF II API-TOF mass spectrometer, as well as a novel,
optional GC-APCI Interface for a single high-performance platform
for LC/MS and GC/MS with unprecedented analyte flexibility. Bruker
Daltonics has enhanced its well-known high-resolution API-TOF
system, the micrOTOF�, even further improving its resolution to
greater than 16,500 and its mass accuracy to 1-2 ppm. Even better
mass accuracy plus SmartFormula� makes the micrOTOF II an
outstanding instrument in its class, providing the user with high
confidence in formula determination and identification, even in
complex mixtures. For additional analytical flexibility, the
micrOTOF II now can be equipped with a new GC-APCI (atmospheric
pressure chemical ionization) interface which allows GC/TOF-MS
analysis on the same instrument. This cost-effective combination
obviates the need for a dedicated GC/TOF, offering instead
outstanding mass accuracy and resolution on a single platform with
simple interchange between LC and GC operation in a few minutes
without tools. The micrOTOF II the first universal bench-top
accurate mass tool for GC and LC chemical analysis. Typical
applications for GC/TOF-MS include multiple target screening,
identification of unknown peaks in the GC chromatogram and
metabolomics studies. The high acquisition speed of 20 Hz
spectra-to-disk of the micrOTOF II allows temporal resolution of
the sharp peaks which are generated by a GC. All renowned Bruker
software tools to deliver real answers from LC/TOF-MS data, such as
Smartformula� for molecular sum formula generation, or
TargetAnalysis� for screening can be immediately applied to GC/TOF
analysis. The GC-APCI source can be further upgraded with a laser
to APLI (atmospheric pressure laser ionization) which is an
exciting new ionization technique for specific applications such as
ultra-trace determination of PAH in food and water. The APLI
technique delivers dramatic improvements in sensitivity and
selectivity for these applications. A presentation on the new
GC-APCI Interface will be given in the Bruker Workshop on Tuesday,
June 3rd from 12-1 pm in Room 406 of the Colorado Convention
Center. Additional information will be available at the Bruker
Daltonics Exhibition Booth (#65) during the ASMS conference and at
the Bruker Daltonics Hospitality Suite from 7-11 pm on Monday June
2nd to Wednesday June 4th in the Windows room, Denver Sheraton. For
