Compound Screening and Identification

Thermo Fisher Scientific announced that it will launch the Thermo Scientific Exactive, a benchtop LC-MS system designed for compound screening and identification applications, at ASMS 2008. Exactive leverages proven mass analyser technology from the LTQ Orbitrap platform, the recognised standard for accurate mass and high resolution measurement, to provide precise and confident information. It is fast, easy-to-use and cost effective to operate, making it an appropriate instrument for non-experts in routine analytical laboratories. The system streamlines many of the technical steps that normally require specialised set up and operation. An intuitive software interface makes the system easy-to-use in both expert and walk-up mode, while ensuring precise mass identification of target compounds over a wide concentration range.
