Time-of-Flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometer | BenchTOF-dx™

What is BenchTOF-dx?

BenchTOF-dx is an innovative time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer designed specifically for gas chromatography (GC). It has a bench-top design and delivers high sensitivity for every GC application.

Who should use BenchTOF-dx?

BenchTOF-dx is ideal for GC/MS analysts needing a robust mass spectrometer for routine screening of challenging analytes in complex matrices. In addition, it is also more than equal to the challenges of advanced research applications

What makes BenchTOF-dx special?

BenchTOF-dx stands apart from quadrupole and accurate-mass TOF instruments by providing a unique combination of five key elements:

• Sensitivity
  Matching that provided by quadrupole instruments run in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, but across the full mass range
• Stability
  Rugged design ensures long-term stability of mass and analyte response
• Selectivity
  Sub-unit mass resolution allows selective elimination of interferences
• Spectral quality
  In contrast to TOF mass spectrometers in general, the production of reference-quality ‘classical’ EI spectra allows matching against commercial databases 
• Speed
  High-speed acquisition makes BenchTOF-dx compatible with fast GC methods.

The synergistic combination of these five attributes deliver ‘high-definition’ mass spectrometry – making BenchTOF-dx a powerful solution for every GC application.
