PolarisQ from Thermo Electron

PolarisQ is the rugged, affordable answer for quadrupole ion trap GC/MS and GC/MS/MS analyses. It combines optimized hardware with the powerful Thermo Finnigan Xcalibur data system to dramatically cut analysis times for identifying unknowns -- even in difficult matrices. PolarisQ features next-generation external ionization technology for outstanding sensitivity and linearity as well as reduced source maintenance requirements.

Adding the power of MS/MS allows the chemist to routinely analyze samples that cannot be tested with other benchtop mass spectrometers. Pesticide and pharmaceutical residues, arson investigation, dioxin contamination, and athletic doping analyses are applications where GC/MS/MS offers substantial selectivity and performance advantages over standard GC/MS. This simultaneous combination of data provides superior quantitation of target analytes and library identification of unknowns. The PolarisQ can combine full-scan MS with the MS/MS mode to give the analyst both spectra for each peak in the chromatogram.

Esquire 3000 from Bruker-Daltonik with nano-LC system from LC-Packings

The esquire3000 is a benchtop ion trap system designed to take the lead in performance concerning HPLC/MSⁿ and CE/MSⁿ applications. It is fully integrated with the Agilent 1100 series HPLC system and the Agilent 3D CE system, but can be combined with other HPLC systems as well.
The esquire3000

• performs rapid sample screening, as well as detailed structural and quantitative investigations of target compounds
• extracts fast and reliable information from complex samples
• and thus improves the workflow in your lab.

UltiMate from LC-Packings is the first Micro-, Capillary- and Nano HPLC workstation that covers all aspects of a dedicated microseparation system.
UltiMate consists of a high-precision reciprocating pump with microflow processing to allow for a precise delivery of micro- and nanoliter flow rates. Outstanding reproducibility and accuracy are achieved under both isocratic and gradient elution conditions.
An integrated column compartment assures optimal protection of the microcolumn and guarantees easy installation without any dead volume.
Highest separation efficiency is achieved routinely using our Fusica microcolumns.
The specially developed UV detector with its proprietary capillary flow cells allows for the most sensitive UV detection in microcolumn separations.

FAMOS WP is the first Fully Automated Micro AutO Sampler for routine sample injection out of a wide variety of Well Plates (96 well plates, 96 deep well plates, 384 well plates, PCR tubes and even conventional 1.5 ml vials). Its unique design and features allow for the automated injection of any volume ranging from 50 nl (nanoliters) up to 5 µl (microliters) in Conventional-, Micro- and Capillary LC. Injection volumes are fully programmable (push button) across this range and do not require loop exchange. Larger sample volumes are easy accessible, simply by changing the loop.
