Bruker Introduces MS Workstation 7 Software for New Chemical Analysis Gas Chromatography Triple-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers

Business Wire
At the 58th ASMS Conference, Bruker Daltonics’ new Chemical
Analysis business announced the release of MS Workstation 7,
the next generation software package for the newly acquired 3x0
series GC triple-quadrupole (GC-QQQ) mass spectrometers. MS
Workstation 7 features Scheduled Multiple-Reaction Monitoring
(s-MRM), which facilitates method development, maintenance and data
reduction tasks for challenging multi-component methods.
Multi-residue analyses are often challenging due to the low
levels and diversity of targeted analytes in complex sample
matrices. Regardless of the application area, laboratories are
typically faced with the challenge of bolstering the number of
compounds identified and measured over shorter and shorter analysis
times.
Traditionally, triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers have been
used for these targeted, multiplexed analyses due to the excellent
selectivity, large dynamic range, high sensitivity and low limits
of quantitation obtained with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in
triple-quadrupole MS instruments. However, the number of compounds
that can be effectively monitored per chromatographic run by a
triple quadrupole MS can be limited by the cycle time of the
instrument, the complexity of the sample matrix and the
chromatographic peak widths of the analytes, particularly in fast
GC separations.
To answer the challenge posed by complex, multi-residue
analytical methods, Bruker has developed the s-MRM approach that is
available now in MS Workstation 7. This advanced s-MRM
capability decreases the number of concurrent MRM transitions,
allowing MRMs to be monitored only around their expected retention
times. MS Workstation 7 allows instrument cycle and dwell
times to be optimized to deliver highest sensitivity on accurate
and reproducible results. The s-MRM approach facilitates the
monitoring of increased numbers of MRM transitions during an
analysis, and can meet the rigors of current fast, multi-residue GC
methods, while maintaining highest data quality.
Collin D’Silva, President of the newly-formed Bruker Chemical
Analysis Division, stated: “Before our recent acquisition of the
former Varian Inc. GC, GC-QQQ-MS and ICP-MS products, we made sure
that they were high performance, high quality instruments that
provide value in the marketplace. Bruker is committed to
accelerating research and development, as well as applications
development and validation, so that our chemical analysis products
become even more valuable resources for our customers.”
MS Workstation 7 will be highlighted at Bruker's Users
Meeting on Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 before the 58th ASMS Conference
on Mass Spectrometry in Salt Lake City, Utah (USA). For more
