Several successful applications of the Advion expression Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS) system for food and ingredients testing include:
- The Analysis of Different Grades of Olive Oil by Volatile Mass Spectrometry: In this application note, we demonstrate the use of the Advion expression CMS with a volatile APCI (vAPCI) ion source technique that allows testing of olive oil samples to determine if they are truly extra-virgin, virgin, or lampante grade.
- Classifying cheeses by volatile APCI Compact Mass Spectrometry: In this application note we demonstrate the capability of the Advion expressions CMS to analyze volatile fatty acids of various types of cheeses using our volatile vAPCI ion source.
- A Sudan Dyes Analysis Using Compact Mass Spectrometry with a TLC Interface: In this note, a TLC/CMS method using the expression CMS coupled with the Plate Express interface is introduced for the detection of 7 Sudan dyes in a chili matrix.
- Chemically Tracking Spoilage of Meat Using Volatile Compact Mass Spectrometry: This application note demonstrates the use of the Advion expression CMS coupled with a vAPCI ion source to directly detect several key chemicals given off by meat as it spoils at ambient temperature. Evolution of putrescine, cadaverine, and indole were measured over several days as meat spoiled.

SEE MORE: ADVION LAUNCHES PEAK EXPRESS™ SOFTWARE FOR IMPROVED COMPOUND ID AND REACTION MONITORING
August 20, 2017 – Ithaca, NY/Washington, D.C. – Advion, Inc., a leading systems and consumables developer for the life sciences industry, announced it has released Peak Express™ software, available with the expression compact mass spectrometer (CMS). The software introduces a patent-pending breakthrough in novel mass spectrum display, available exclusively in the Advion Peak Express™ software suite: The Delta Spectrum (ΔS), which looks beyond chemical noise and automatically detects even the smallest peaks without the user needing to know the product ion mass in advance.
Advion’s Peak Express™ software amplifies detection capabilities, allowing a user to find adducts, dimers, fragments, side-reactions and other unexpected compounds at the click of a button, in real-time or with later data processing. Users have the traditional options of full scans, XIC, SIM and and the Delta Spectrum, and can acquire XIC-quality data while scanning the entire mass range, allowing the Peak Express™ software to indicate the m/z directly. The ΔS compares the ion intensity at each m/z interval across the mass spectrum to a base line level measured at the start of the analysis, then records the differential in intensity.
“There is a need for reaction monitoring, compound identification and purification in environments where high levels of contaminants and chemical noise are present,” said David Patteson, Advion CEO. “Our latest addition to the software suite gives users one-click access to detect compounds or provide mass-directed purification without providing the compound mass. Peak Express™ is like having the expertise of a dedicated mass spectroscopist, digging deep into the data to find small, unknown peaks that would otherwise have gone undetected, or reveal the detail that would have otherwise been missed. The chemist can “see more” as peaks are revealed and chemical noise is eliminated from the spectrum.”
Peak Express™ can be used with any technique that generates a peak, e.g. HPLC/CMS, TLC/CMS, Flash/CMS, and FIA, both in real time and for later data processing. The Peak Express™ software is available now with the expression CMS.
