Why use BenchTOF2?

Like all TOF mass spectrometers, BenchTOF2 simultaneously analyses all ions, maximising sensitivity and providing full-range spectra for both target compounds and unknowns in a single run. Conventional quadrupoles, in contrast, work by mass filtering, which wastes ions and results in lower sensitivity (and SIM mode, while enhancing sensitivity, is not able to analyse unknowns).

BenchTOF2 delivers a competitive edge with high mass accuracy, excellent spectral quality, and outstanding sensitivity, making it an ideal choice for confident identification in non-target screening of complex samples.

At SepSolve, we incorporate the power of BenchTOF2 into connected workflows tailored for your application. This allows you to transition easily between ‘discovery’ and routine applications, and maximise the amount of information extracted from every sample.

  • Identify analytes confidently through an unbeatable combination of trace-level sensitivity, high-quality spectra, excellent selectivity and smart software tools.

  • Improve detection limits with full spectral information, and so detect a wide range of trace-level species in a single analysis, with the option of retrospective searching for new compounds of interest.

  • Extend dynamic range across five orders of magnitude: accurately quantify high-concentration compounds while maintaining low detection limits, and so remove the need for dilutions or repeat analyses.
     
  • Carry out fast GC and GC×GC separations thanks to BenchTOF2’s fast acquisition speeds.
     
  • Simultaneously acquire hard and soft EI spectra using patented Tandem Ionisation® technology, and so confidently identify challenging compounds (e.g. isomers) in streamlined workflows.

  • Increase productivity through use of H2 carrier gas, for lower cost of ownership, fast return on investment, faster chromatographic separations, and easier implementation for new labs.

  • Minimise training: BenchTOF2 TOF MS combines instrument control, method development, data analysis and chemometrics in a single user interface, and is easily learnt by non-MS experts.

  • Enhance reliability and efficiency with a newly designed ion source and transfer line for improved robustness, simplified maintenance, and seamless operation in demanding workflows.


Applications

Technical note: Tandem Ionisation – Revolutionary soft ionisation to enhance confidence in identification
This technical note describes the use of Tandem Ionisation® for BenchTOF2™ mass spectrometers to acquire both hard (70 eV) and soft (10–20 eV) electron ionisation (EI) in a single analysis.
