Thermo Fisher launches mass spectrometer and columns

With a 1mm inner diameter, the columns provide analyses of small sample volumes at low flow rates for direct injection into the LC-MS.

The new Thermo Scientific ISQ EC Single Quadrupole mass spectrometer integrates with an existing ion chromatography (IC) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system and provides small molecule sensitivity and mass confirmation for users.

The Chromeleon Chromatography Data Software (CDS) platform has embedded ISQ EC MS instrument control, which enables users to minimize time spent on new mass spectrometry (MS) user training. The instrument claims to be robust, enabling users to analyze a range of simple and complex sample matrices.

Resolution and ruggedness

Also launching are the Thermo Scientific MAbPac RP 1mm columns, which are designed to provide the resolution and ruggedness required for high-performance, reversed-phase chromatography characterization of monoclonal antibodies, fragments, variants, antibody drug conjugates and proteins.

With a 1mm inner diameter, the columns provide analyses of small sample volumes at low flow rates for direct injection into the LC-MS. Featuring a polymeric resin with an optimized pore size and thermal and pH stability, the new columns aim to allow separations with low carry-over.
