At the 2012 Japan Analytical Scientific Instruments Show
(JASIS), Bruker today launches two game-changing LC-triple
quadrupole (LC-TQ) mass spectrometers, the high-performance EVOQ
QubeTM and the ultra-high sensitivity EVOQ Elite,
which are setting new standards for analytical performance and
quantitative robustness. Similar to Bruker’s very successful
SCION GC-TQ platform introduced in 2011, the EVOQ
series is targeted at LC-TQ performance leadership and major
advances in robustness, ease of methods developments and
productivity.

Both EVOQ LC-TQ systems introduced today incorporate
Bruker’s new Advance™ Ultra-High Pressure Liquid
Chromatography (UHPLC) systems. In addition, the EVOQ
platform features several major innovations:
- the industry’s first
Vacuum-Insulated Probe (VIP) heated electrospray technology
preserves and ionizes thermally fragile molecules with outstanding
sensitivity,
- the Active Exhaust atmospheric
pressure ionization source with a robust orifice vacuum interface
significantly enhances quantitative robustness for difficult
samples,
- the novel, ‘flat-tuning’, proprietary
Interlaced Quadrupole Dual Funnel (IQ-DF™) maximizes
sensitivity,
- novel PACERTM software
enables ‘exception based data-review’, a revolutionary feature that
significantly reduces the error rate for quantitative
analysis.
Bruker’s patented lens-free triple-quad mass filter design,
which enhances MRM performance, comes standard on all EVOQ
systems, making the EVOQ LC-TQ inherently easier to use and
maintain. Other high-performance TQ features include Bruker’s
unique Compound Based Scanning (CBS) technology, the novel
VIP heated-ESI and APCI ion sources, fast 14,000 amu/sec
scan speed and 25 msec positive/negative ion switching, all for
leading-edge TQ performance and analytical power.
Jonathan McNally, EVOQ Product Manager, said: “Our
intention was to make the EVOQ LC-TQ very intuitive to use,
whether the users are analyzing pesticides in water using our new
Advance UHPLC with on-line extraction (OLE) capability for
high volume injections, or quantifying peptides in plasma. Our goal
is to allow the user to focus on solving the analytical problem,
and not be distracted by the instrument parameter operation. The
EVOQ greatly simplifies MRM-based quantitation with Bruker’s
unique Compound Based Scanning (CBS), which makes MRM
methods development trivial, and MS/MS as easy to use and deploy as
single quadrupole mass spectrometry.”
Collin D’Silva, Bruker CAM Division President, added: “Our
customers need to run more samples, spend less time cleaning and
re-tuning instruments, and use software to minimize errors
associated with the daily review of thousands of chromatograms. The
EVOQ with PACER software delivers significant value
to a laboratory whose core focus is providing time-sensitive
quantitative data.”
The Advance HPLC, UHPLC, and the UHPLC-OLE products offer
ultra-low dead-volume which enables excellent reproducibility at
analytical flow-rates, an integrated column-oven, and bench-space
savings. Paired with the industry workhorse CTC auto-sampler, the
Advance LC portfolio delivers precision and accuracy
required for sustained, high-sensitivity LC-MRM quantitative
analysis.
Rohan Thakur, Ph.D., Vice President and General Manager of
Bruker’s Quadrupole MS Business, concluded: “The EVOQ LC-TQ
platform delivers on Bruker’s philosophy of providing innovative,
compact, easy-to-use and performance-leading solutions that
customers value for their daily work. We believe that the novel
EVOQ triple-quad platform with its many true innovations,
outstanding sensitivity and ease-of-use breakthroughs will leapfrog
traditional TQ designs as the new performance leader in this large
market.”
