Product news

JEOL USA will unveil several new analytical technologies during ASMS 2016 in San Antonio, Texas (Booth #229). With a comprehensive line of time-of-flight mass spectrometers, JEOL advances analytical capabilities for a wide range of scientific research.

JEOL and the company's mass spectrometry customers will present several posters at ASMS. In particular, one oral presentation by collaborators at University at Albany will detail the use of AccuTOF-DART for "Classification of Blow Fly Eggs for Determination of Post-Mortem Interval." For a list of posters and presentations relevant to JEOL, visit www.jeolusa.com/asms.

New mass spec technologies in the spotlight this year include:

Real-time gas analysis with InfiTOF
JEOL will introduce the InfiTOF, a compact high-resolution mass spectrometer designed for real-time gas analysis. The InfiTOF’s unique multi-turn ion optics provide high-resolution mass spectra in a system that is the size of a personal computer tower.

New Photoionization (PI) source for hydrocarbon analysis
A new combination electron ionization/photoionization (EI/PI) source for JEOL’s fourth-generation AccuTOF-GCX high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Photoionization is a soft ionization method that provides molecular weight information with minimal fragmentation. It very sensitive for certain environmentally-important compound classes such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

AccuTOFTM-DART® with ionRocket
The AccuTOF-DART has been demonstrated with a new ionRocket thermal desorption and pyrolysis system (Biochromato, Inc.). The AccuTOF-DART, an “ambient ionization toolbox” that can carry out a range of techniques without having to change any hardware, produces clean, reproducible, easy-to-interpret data that has been published in two new applications notes.

MALDI-TOF with Enhanced Imaging

This ultrahigh resolution TOF features monoisotopic precursor selection for MS/MS. The 17-meter SpiralTOF flight path minimizes the effect of topographic variations on the sample surface, allowing high mass-resolving power for tissue imaging.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Gas Generators and AnalyzersGas generators are used for supplying or monitoring a regular flow of a high purity gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen or zero air for applications such as gas chromatography. Gas analyzers can be used in supply chain processes and laboratory experiments with portable analyzers for monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> levels as well as trace gases. Regular flow can be produced with gas control modules and flow meters. Find the best gas generators and analyzers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.
