DART-OS

DART-OS
DART-OS is designed for you to walk-up, analyze and go: virtually anyone can synthesize compounds quickly, simply and with accuracy. It combines our basic Direct Analysis in Real Time source with the OpenSpot^® module, an enclosed ionization region that contains vapors and minimizes sample contamination. The OpenSpot^® sample card makes sample transfer easy and ensures reproducible sampling, maximizing quantitation performance.

How does DART-OS work?
DART-OS enables a very simple workflow, for a wide range of sample types. Measurement is complete in seconds via the following steps:

• Start the system - switch on the source and start the VAPUR pump 
• Spot or dose the sample onto an OpenSpot^® sample card in the clearly marked area
• Slot the card into the system to guide your sample into exactly the right position for successful analysis
• Scan – the system will apply transmission mode DART passing heated carrier gas through the sample
• Remove the card and discard

DART-OS needs no solvents or vials. It has no moving parts and simplified hardware for quick mounting/dismounting to any LC/MS; switch to an open ionization region whenever you need to. For the toughest of challenges it offers easy-to implement dopant methods for ionization and derivatization.

Use DART-OS to apply mass spec to any sample, wherever you need to, rapidly and efficiently.

The DART-OS brings the power of mass spec detection into the hands of non-expert users.

The DART-OS is our easiest entry point into the benefits of DART. It provides users with simple, reproducible chromatography-free sample analysis of a wide range of analytes. Designed for anyone to use, it features simple-to-install hardware for quick installation on your mass spectrometer.
