Mass Spectrometers

Mass spectrometers for identification and quantitative analysis of molecules

Overview

Mass Spectrometers

Mass spectrometers are the pinnacle of analytical instrumentation: they identify and quantify molecules with parts-per-million (ppm) mass accuracy and sensitivity down to attomolar concentrations. In the clinical laboratory, LC-MS/MS has become the "gold standard" for therapeutic drug monitoring, steroid hormone profiling, newborn screening for inherited metabolic disorders, and the determination of vitamins D and B, catecholamines and metanephrines. In microbiology, MALDI-TOF identifies microorganisms in 5 minutes instead of the 24–72 hours required for biochemical identification. In research, Orbitrap and Q-TOF open up proteomics (>10,000 proteins per run), metabolomics, lipidomics and single-cell analysis. KombiMED GmbH supplies complete solutions from Thermo Fisher (Orbitrap, Exploris, Astral), SCIEX (TripleTOF, ZenoTOF), Waters (Xevo, Synapt), Agilent (6495C, 6546 QTOF) and Bruker (timsTOF, MALDI Biotyper), with support for method validation and staff training.
