The Thermo Scientific workflow solution features the TSQ Quantum Access Max triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometry system, plus TraceFinder software, which comes with pre-configured methods. The new solution will be launched at the Thermo Scientific booth 1432 at Pittcon 2009, being held 9-12 March in Chicago.
“TraceFinder software provides food and environmental laboratories with the tools to react quickly to the need to detect new contaminants in the food supply,” said Dipankar Ghosh, strategic marketing manager for environmental and food safety solutions at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The built-in methods database reduces method development time from hours or days to minutes by providing optimised conditions for analytes.”
The new TSQ Quantum Access Max mass spectrometer (MS) is based on the proven TSQ Quantum triple-stage quadrupole platform, and features a mass range of m/z 10 to 3,000. The system can perform up to 3,000 highly selective reaction monitoring (H-SRM) acquisitions, enabling a higher tolerance for precursor ion selection for quantitative assays.
The TSQ Quantum Access Max also delivers twice the sensitivity of its predecessor due to the new heated electrospray ionization probe, the HESI-II. A further boost to productivity comes from another new feature: the instrument’s high-speed positive/negative switching at better than 25ms, which enables multi-residue screening in a single analytical run.
