Identification with confidence
enabled by eXtreme Resolution for routine IFS analysis
scimaX
ontinuing Bruker’s tradition to forge productivity from technological innovation, scimaX® includes several innovative core technologies, to give you performance rivaling high field MRMS at your fingertips.
Patented ParaCell 2xR detector
scimaX® comes standard with ParaCell 2xR and AMP detection technology. The ParaCell is a departure from traditional MRMS cell strategies and provides uncommon broadband ion stability resulting in resolution orders of magnitude above other detection schemes. The ParaCell in combination with Absorption Mode Processing algorithms is the prerequisite for routine access to Isotopic Fine Structure (IFS) Information.
Bruker’s 2xR MRMS instruments use magnetron control technology and the latest high sensitivity, low noise MRMS preamplifier, realizing scientists’ long standing vision to exploit harmonics detection schemes and thus increase the experimental speed and instrument productivity without sacrificing resolving power.
Unique ESI/MALDI dual source
Only Bruker instruments allow operation of a unique ESI/MALDI dual source. This source is included with any scimaX® and can either run liquid samples introduced via the Electrospray ionization (ESI) source or from MALDI samples. This highly sensitive MALDI source uses Bruker’s smartbeam-II laser technology and provides several small focus diameters for various applications with different sample preparation techniques. Fast switchover between MALDI and ESI operation is controlled by a software push button, so even simultaneous ESI/MALDI operation is possible.
Ion activation techniques
scimaX® includes a variety of ion activation techniques, including ECD, ETD, CID, EDD, SORI-CID, MALDI-ISD, and NETD capabilities.
7T conduction cooled magnet technology
Bruker‘s revolutionary 7T superconducting magnet technology is the basis of the smaller footprint scimaX® MRMS system. This key innovation uses ‘conduction cooling’ technology, which removes the requirements to fill liquid cryogens or provide quench ducts.
The scimaX® can be operated in a standard laboratory space, enabling a wider range of scientific disciplines to gain access to the power of MRMS technology.
