COMPACT MASS SPECTROMETER

摘要

The Expression Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS) is designed for the discovery research and process development synthetic organic chemistry market. Compact enough to operate in fume hoods and space-restricted laboratories, chemists can have direct access to identify, monitor, and confirm compounds rapidly as they are created in the reactor. Moreover, the personal single quadrupole mass spectrometer allows for rapid compound confirmation in normal phase chromatography fractions. Traditionally, chemists initiate a multihour reaction and periodically withdraw samples for analysis in an open access mass spectrometry lab. The remote analysis takes hours, decreasing the usefulness of the information and building workflow inefficiencies. Additionally, large numbers of normal phase purification fractions are generated and add to the central lab burden, further slowing vital feedback. The combination of a small footprint, critical design features, and an intuitive software package permits operation within a fume hood or next to existing bench instrumentation, allowing users access to fast answers.
