BenchTOF–Evolve
A mass spectrometer for GC delivering 'SIM-like' sensitivity with full spectral information
BenchTOF-Evolve is perfect for any analyst wishing to realise the benefits of TOF MS without the need for extensive training or disruption to existing workflows.
Product Benefits:
- Enjoy the advantages of TOF MS while retaining your existing GC–MS workflow and data-processing packages.
- Cut down on analysis time by detecting trace-level targets and unknowns in a single run.
- Maintain your confidence in chemical identification with reference-quality spectra.
- Expand your laboratory’s capability by using sub-unit mass selectivity to improve detection of trace-level compounds in complex matrices.
- Improve your productivity through the greatly reduced need for cleaning or maintenance of BenchTOF.
- Get more out of your data with TargetView compound-identification software.
Features:
- BenchTOF-Evolve instrument control software compatible with a number of leading GCs and autosamplers.
- SIM-like sensitivity for trace-level analysis of targets and unknowns in a single run.
- Reference-quality ‘classical’ spectra matching those in commercial or custom quadrupole-acquired libraries.
- High-speed spectral acquisition ensuring compatibility with fast GC and GC×GC.
- Long-term stability of analyte response for reduced downtime.
- Powerful TargetView deconvolution and target-matching software.
