Q: WHY DID YOU INCORPORATE THE EXPRESSION CMS INTO YOUR LABORATORY?

A: We use the expression CMS for fast monitoring of reaction mixtures, to identify fractions and also to confirm structures in combination with other analysis methods. The analysis with CMS is very fast and any chemist is able to perform his own routine analysis. The ASAP®/APCI method is especially fast and simple (>2000 samples a year).

Q: TO WHOM WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE EXPRESSION CMS?

A: We recommend the purchase of the expression CMS to all organic and synthetic chemists groups for its ease-of-use. With the ASAP option, chemists are enabled to analyze any sample in 2-3 minutes without the need for external services. A further advantage is that both positive/negative mode analysis is done at the same time and in a single run.
