Mass spectrometry instrument

Microsaic Systems produces mass spectrometry instrumentation using Micro-Electrical-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. The significant and innovative advances in the new chip-based instrument, the Microsaic 4000 MiD, offers a redesigned unit with an even smaller footprint.

The Microsaic 4000 MiD is the culmination of over a decade of research, bringing together two high tech fields – chemical analysis and silicon micro-engineering – to make possible a transformative capability in detection. Its low operating cost and small footprint make the instrument deployable in a wide range of applications where mass spectrometry has not been able to reach - until now.

The Microsaic 4000 MiD fits comfortably into a standard lab fume hood, opening up further opportunities in the field of reaction monitoring. Users are able to increase the use of mass spectrometry in the lab, while benefiting from significant cost savings, owing to fewer necessary structural components such as gas generators and air conditioning. There are also sizeable savings with the use of ‘Plug and Play’ components which enable users to maintain the system themselves, resulting in less downtime and greater flexibility within the laboratory.
