Bruker Redefines Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry with the Introduction of amaZonâ„¢, the Next-Generation Ultra-Sensitive Ion Trap
May 11 2009 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Bruker Daltonics today launches the next-generation
ultra-sensitive, ion trap amaZon� series. Delivering
10x improved MS/MS sensitivity over current platforms, novel
technology for accelerated data acquisition, significantly enhanced
mass resolution, and second-generation fast and sensitive ETD/PTR
capabilities, this unique, highest performance ion trap delivers
unrivalled data quality and extreme flexibility for a broad variety
of applications.
The amaZon builds upon Bruker�s long experience in ion
trap technologies, and is designed to enhance capabilities in
research areas such as bottom-up proteomics, high-throughput and
ultra-sensitive PTM analysis, metabolomics, compound screening and
identification, and detailed chemical and structural analysis. The
amaZon series is offered in two versions: amaZon ETD
for proteomics, and amaZon X for small molecule analysis and
applied markets.
The new amaZon incorporates key inventions for
unprecedented ion trap capabilities:
- First commercial introduction of
a double ion funnel transfer in ion traps, delivering a new
benchmark for sensitivity
- Unrivalled scan speed of
52,000 u/sec at better than unit resolution for fastest UPLC
applications and maximum duty cycle in data-dependent MS/MS and
MSn
- Ultimate ion trap mass
resolving power up to 20,000 in full scan mode across the
50-3000 m/z range: in combination with Bruker�s patented peak
recognition technology SNAP IITM, the amaZon
provides isotopic peak resolution even for highly charged ion
species in ETD/PTR fragment spectra for the confident determination
of their monoisotopic masses.
- The latest ETD/PTR
technology offering the most efficient, extremely robust and
sensitive peptide and protein fragmentation, as well as
high-throughput PTM analysis. Building upon the very successful ETD
technology commercialized first by Bruker, the combination of
bottom-up CID or ETD and top-down ETD/PTR provides new
methodologies for detailed protein characterization.
- Zero Delay Alternating�
acquisition for high-speed ion polarity switching
without sensitivity and time compromise. Up to 20 Hz MS data
acquisition in both polarities is ideal in combination with
fast UHPLC separations. Supported by spectral MSn libraries, the
amaZon is the ultimate ion trap mass spectrometer for
MS/MS based multi-compound screening.
Bruker Daltonics Vice President Dr. Arnd Ingendoh commented:
�The performance of the amaZon will completely redefine the
use of ion traps across an increasing range of application areas.
With new, unparalleled levels of sensitivity, acquisition speed and
mass resolution combined with ease-of-use, smart automation and an
array of software modules for faster high-value information
generation, the amaZon offers a new level of performance and
confidence in many small molecule and applied market segments. In
proteomics, the amaZon is a very powerful ESI-MS/MS system
with ultra-sensitive, fully automated ETD/PTR, and represents a
perfect complement to MALDI-TOF/TOF technology for the broadest
array of proteomic analysis capabilities.�
The revolutionary new amaZon will be highlighted at
Bruker's Annual Users Meeting on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 before the
57th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry in Philadelphia, PA. For
