Superior ROI
High return on investment by reducing consumable costs.
Simple
Implement high throughput workflows with ease.

Direct Analysis in Real Time

DART JumpShot® boosts the throughput and sensitivity of DART with automation, while at the same time reducing running costs. DART JumpShot® is perfect for performing both quantitative and qualitative analyses. These benefits are particularly valuable for point of need applications where reliable answers are needed quickly, at accessible cost.

How does JumpShot® work?
JumpShot® uses a pulsed gas flow for ionization, rather than the continuous gas flow associated with conventional DART. Cutting gas flow eliminates the formation of ions in the surrounding air, efficiently targeting each sample with 1 – 2 seconds of ionization. The result is:

  • Higher sample throughput - by a factor of three
  • Lower gas consumption - around 90% lower, minimizing per sample costs and environmental footprint
  • Improved peak shape - sharper, resolved peaks that are more amenable to routine data processing
  • A significant reduction in matrix effects related to the ambient atmosphere - less background noise and a high signal to noise ratio


Use JumpShot® with a QuickStrip wire mesh grid to measure samples in sets of 12 at a rate of 3 seconds per samples. Or step up to a mutliple rail automation module to load 96 or 384 samples at a time.

Use JumpShot® to implement DART-MS at the point of need to generate the information you need quickly and cost-effectively. 

Fast, high-sensitivity mass spectrometry sample analysis for everyone 

The DART JumpShot® increases efficiency and flexibility of sample analysis with sample introduction modules.

The DART JumpShot® saves time and money by reducing helium gas use by 90-95%. Users also benefit from a reduction in ionization of ambient background and improved signal/noise ratio.

  • High Throughput analyses:  Complete mass spectrometry measurements in seconds
  • Confident decisions in seconds: faster lab-based performance for applications where quick and reliable results are critical
  • Accessible Technology: mass spectrometry for every user

Analyze TRIPLE the Samples than Standard DART in the Same Time

DART JumpShot® provides automated detection three times faster than standard DART for applications where fast results are critical, including 

  • Forensics: for automated, direct analysis of forensics and toxicology samples for example screening of multiple seized drugs (traditional drugs, NPS, psychoactive plants, e-liquids, steroids, and supplements)
  • Food and Beverage: perfect for compound identification in a range of food and beverage applications such as automated screening of food contaminants like pesticides, mycotoxins or packaging additives
  • Environmental: for users that require automated trace detection of multiple compounds, for example fast analysis of complex matrices
  • Industrial Polymers and Manufacturing: perfect for automated screening, inspection and quality control applications, for example of microplastics
  • Pharmaceuticals: for automated analyses in applications ranging from  quality control to drug discovery screening
  • Safety and Security: providing automated analyses in applications where fast, reliable results are crucial for example explosive detection
