The 4500 MiD® combines the vacuum system, electronics and computer inside one box. With no floor pump ever needed, it can be installed where no other mass spectrometer can be easily deployed, all while retaining the performance of a conventional mass spectrometer system. The addition of the Microsaic MiDas™ compact interface sampling module means the 4500 MiD® can be easily deployed in a large variety of on-line, at-line and off-line applications.
Featuring Microsaic’s three main patented chip-based technologies, the ionchip®, spraychip® and vac-chip™, the 4500 MiD® is reliable, robust, and user-friendly, with increased mass range, a completely tool-less front-end for enhanced control, an intuitive and robust user interface, and improved electronics. A change in front-end alignment has also strengthened system uptime while reducing the deposition of contaminants downstream.
Increasing the mass range to 1400 m/z opens up a new range of applications, including peptide analysis using Nano LC-MS, which is ideal for the 4500 MiD®’s extremely efficient ESI source, and its strong propensity towards multiple charging.
Easy to operate and maintain, the Microsaic 4500 MiD® also offers reduced solvent, nitrogen and power consumption to lower operating costs and provide a greener solution for mass detection.
