BenchTOF-HD
Time-of-flight mass spectrometer for GC and GC×GC
 | We have been so impressed with BenchTOF that we have now bought another one... Prof. Steve Rowland, University of Plymouth, UK |
Who used BenchTOF-HD?
Analysts in high-throughput or QA/QC laboratories rely on BenchTOF-HD for its outstanding performance across a wide range of GC and GC×GC applications
Product benefits

BAT required a novel instrumental capability for
the separation, identification and semi-quantification of volatile organic
compounds in complex aerosols at very low concentrations. After reviewing a
number of commercially available instruments, BAT considered the Markes
BenchTOF in combination with Thermal Desorption sampling. BAT was satisfied with the initial evaluations, leading BAT to purchase a Markes BenchTOF in 2012. BAT worked closely
with Markes over a number of months to successfully optimise the application
and since this first deployment, BAT has purchased two additional BenchTOFs to
increase the capacity in this key area of research. |
