Bruker Daltonics Introduces maXis™,
a Revolutionary New Ultra-High Resolution TOF Mass Spectrometer at ASMS
Conference
The maXis redefines high speed, ultra high resolution mass
spectrometry
DENVER (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) June 2, 2008 --
At ASMS 2008, Bruker Daltonics today announced the maXis™,
a revolutionary new Electrospray Ultra-High Resolution tandem TOF
(UHR-Qq-TOF) mass spectrometer. The novel maXis demonstrates
Bruker’s leadership in the design of
cutting-edge mass spectrometers to meet future requirements in
applications including small molecule identification, metabolomics,
quantitative proteomics, as well as biomarker discovery and validation.
The maXis is unique in offering simultaneous
no-compromise ultra-high resolution of 40,000 –
60,000 FWHM over a broad mass range, MS and MS/MS mass accuracy
typically between 600 and 800 ppb, and all at speeds of up to 20 full
spectra per second. With its unprecedented performance combination, the maXis
offers:
-
20 Hz full spectra acquisition at ultra-high mass resolution for
high-speed liquid chromatography
-
40,000 – 60,000 resolution in both MS and
MS/MS mode over a broad mass range
-
excellent high m/z mass range
-
novel IonCooler™ technology delivers
excellent MS/MS sensitivity over a broad m/z range
-
high dynamic range of 5 orders of magnitude for trace detection in
complex mixtures
-
sub-ppm mass accuracy in both MS and MS/MS mode for high confidence IDs
-
uncompromised MS sensitivity for discovery applications
-
SmartFormula™ 3D unambiguous
determination of molecular sum formulae for molecules up to 1 kDalton;
“Now ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry
over broad mass ranges is finally compatible with ultra performance
liquid chromatography,” explained Bruker
Daltonics Executive Vice President Dr. Ian Sanders. “Our
new maXis indeed represents a major step forward in tandem
mass spectrometry, offering a no-compromise solution for exceptional
accurate mass, ultra-high resolution over a broad mass range and high
sensitivity MS and MS/MS analysis at a speed able to take full advantage
of modern, fast liquid chromatography or fast capillary electrophoresis
separations.”
Dr. Richard Joyce, Structural Elucidation Scientist at Pfizer (UK),
commented: "It is vital to us to solve real-life identification problems
in a dramatically reduced time: our joint development of SmartFormula
3D applied at maXis performance levels meets our
goal of a one-shot Molecular Formula Machine."
At the Bruker Daltonics Users Forum on Sunday, June 1st,
a prestigious panel of researchers made presentations detailing a series
of innovative applications utilizing various Bruker Daltonics
instruments, including the maXis. On Monday, June 2nd,
at 6:30 p.m. there will also be a special champagne reception in the
Bruker Hospitality Suite at the Sheraton Denver Hotel for the
introduction of the maxis (no registration required).
