At the 18th International Mass Spectrometry Conference, Bruker
Daltonics today announced the availability of the world’s first
18 tesla (T) magnet for FTMS. This unique,
actively-shielded, refrigerated 18T magnet system with excellent
homogeneity and field stability, represents the world’s highest
field FTMS magnet, providing unique and novel scientific
capabilities that can be applied to some of today’s most important,
complex, and challenging protein, polymer, and small molecule
analyses. The unmatched performance of FTMS at 18 tesla will
significantly impact a variety of research areas including protein
identification, petroleomics, metabolomics, small molecule tissue
molecular imaging, and environmental sample analysis.
The new magnet system provides dramatic increases in FTMS
resolution, speed, and dynamic range. Additionally, the routine
observation and measurement of isotopic fine structure of molecules
of interest will be facilitated and extended to larger molecules to
provide another dimension of specificity for the determination of
exact molecular formulae. Bruker has a long history of magnet
development with many ‘firsts’ in high field technology. The latest
of these achievements has been the June 2009 introduction of the
world’s first 1 GHz NMR system (23.5 tesla).
“The development of the 18T magnet for FTMS represents
the next leap forward for high end FTMS,” said Dr. Gerhard Roth,
Managing Director of Bruker BioSpin GmbH in Karlsruhe, Germany. He
continued: “The design of this new horizontal bore 18T FTMS
magnet is based on Bruker’s extensive design and production
experience for ultra high field vertical and horizontal bore
magnets for NMR, MRI, EPR and FTMS, combining the most advanced
features and many of our key proprietary technologies.”
Bruker Daltonics is now accepting orders for its new 18T FTMS
magnet with delivery 12 months after order.
