Product news

Labs performing clinical research and forensic toxicology of dried sample spots can now purchase Thermo Scientific mass spectrometry (MS) systems equipped from the factory with PaperSpray technology, designed to virtually eliminate sample preparation for screening and quantitation of drugs in biological fluid samples.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has entered into a value added reseller agreement with Prosolia, Inc. to permit Thermo Fisher to sell the Prosolia Velox 360™ device with Thermo Scientific MS systems, providing a single point of contact for purchasing, installation and service.

The Velox 360 device is an automated sample handling and ionization source for mass spectrometry featuring PaperSpray technology. PaperSpray technology combines paper substrates with electrospray ionization, designed to simplify sample preparation and speed up mass spectrometry analysis of biological fluids.

The Velox 360 device can be coupled to The Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Series MS family as well as the company’s triple quadrupole and ion trap instruments.

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. Clinical Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry is emerging as a superior method of analysis over the longstanding, gold standard of immunoassay. Clinical mass spectrometry systems are increasingly accessible to medical laboratories and are capable of providing results with more speed and less expense than traditional methods. From simple mass spectrometers to IVDR class A compliant, highly sophisticated systems performing liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), find the latest product news, reviews and resources to make a purchasing decision for your laboratory.
