MassTech is proud to introduce our 3rd generation portable\/field deployable 3D ion trap mass spectrometer with atmospheric pressure interface, the MT Explorer 30 (MTE30). <\/p>\n
The new MTE30 is significant fraction of the size, weight and cost of its predecessor while providing capabilities similar to the full sized MT100 and MT50. The compact design makes it perfect for field use and its powerful MS-n function makes structure elucidation easy to achieve.<\/p>\n
Building on decades of knowledge and work, as well as our experience with the MTE100 and MTE50, the MTE30 was developed from the bottom up to provide laboratory-level analysis in the field. The key to achieving our goal for size was finding a way to shrink the bulky vacuum chamber of the standard lab mass spectrometer and combining it with our uniquely designed 3D ion trap mass analyzer. Finally, we knew that our customers or field technicians would need to be able to conduct basic maintenance, so we designed the system for easy disassembly and cleaning.<\/p>\n
The performance of the MTE30 matches that of the major OEMs (see Table 1 for basic specifications). Its atmospheric pressure inlet makes it easy to switch between a variety of sources such as our own ESI, AP MALDI, Direct Sampling Atmospheric Pressure (DSAP) ion source with replaceable APCI (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization) and sESI (Secondary electrospray) cartridges.
