Simplify & enhance high certainty compound identification

ecTOF

Highly confident compound identification with simultaneous EI & CI in GC-HRMS

The new ecTOF - identification of unknowns with unsurpassed confidence

Are you tired of ambiguous information from GC-HRMS in non-target analyses? Look no further!

Our cutting-edge ecTOF is a novel GC-HRMS that revolutionizes compound identification by enabling simultaneous recording of both EI (Electron Ionization) and CI (Chemical Ionization) spectral information in a single GC run.

Combining the molecular ion information (via soft CI) and structural information via NIST-searchable fragment ion spectra (70 eV EI) in a single experiment largely reduces false positives and leads to a highly confident identification of unknown compounds in any complex sample. 

Unlock new insights and confidently identify unknown compounds. Be the first to know about our innovative solution. Subscribe to updates and stay ahead of the curve!

Easy to Use
No ion source hardware changes, no multiple GC runs, no issues with EI and CI data alignment in post-processing.
Fast Analysis 
Fast ion optical switching enables quasi-simultaneous molecular (CI) and structural (EI) information generation with one TOF mass spectrometer following the GC separation.
High Performance
Novel high-performing medium pressure CI source with selectable reagent ions for maximum ionization efficiency of multiple classes of compounds. Zero downtime and maintenance due to plasma based primary ionization with no wear and tear on electrodes and filaments.
High Certainty
Molecular ion and fragment information in the same GC-run for confident compound identification.

Multidimensional analysis for target, non-target and suspect applications

The ecTOF enhances analysis speed and instrument uptime as well as enables a faster and confident data post-processing. Suspect and non-targeted GC-HRMS analysis of complex samples gets to a new level of information content and simplicity.

Combining the parent ion information (via soft CI) and structural information via NIST-searchable fragment ion spectra (70 eV EI) in a single experiment largely reduces false positives and leads to a highly confident identification of even unknown compounds in any complex sample.

Furthermore, the ecTOF enhances analysis speed and instrument uptime as well as enables a faster and confident data post-processing. Targeted, non-targeted and suspect GC-HRMS analysis of complex samples is brought to a new level.

AppNote: Comparison and Differentiation of Flavor Profiles for Vegan and Non-Vegan Cheese 

Discover how the new ecTOF can be used for characterization of flavor and aroma profiles in food:

An increased awareness to health, environment and animal welfare as well as a growing acceptance of vegan products has led to a rise in non-dairy product sales. Consequently, the market for meat- and dairyfree alternatives is growing rapidly. Two main selling strategies exist for meat- and dairyfree alternatives.

One of them is the imitation of popular non-vegan products. This strategy has the advantage that customers are already familiar with a product and may want to switch to a vegan alternative with similar taste and affection. Hence, characterization of flavor and aroma profiles is of particular interest during the development of these types of products.
