Thermo Fisher Scientific Demonstrates Faster, More Accurate LC/MS Sample Screening

Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the advanced analytical capabilities delivered by combining Thermo Scientific Exactive, a benchtop LC/MS system, with the Thermo Scientific Transcend liquid chromatography

system. For challenging screening applications, including complex samples containing pesticides, metabolites or other target compounds, this configuration combines automated online sample preparation for high

throughput with the dual benefits of ultrahigh resolution and accurate mass.

Leveraging the proven mass analyser technology of the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap platform, the Exactive™ delivers ultra-high resolution and accurate mass data to enable the rigorous and rapid characterisation of compounds in complex matrices. The easy-to-use instrument streamlines many of the technical steps that normally require specialised setup and operation, and uniquely provides simultaneous qualitative and quantitative results.

By combining Exactive with the Transcend system, Thermo Fisher can deliver enhanced sample screening to more laboratories. In particular, the Thermo Scientific TurboFlow technology within Transcend offers automated, online sample preparation methodologies to simplify analytical workflows and increase data quality. TurboFlow™ technology permits direct injection of complex matrices, virtually eliminating upfront sample preparation and delivering reliable analysis in a fraction of the time.
