Bruker Daltonics Introduces maXis(TM), a Revolutionary New Ultra-High Resolution TOF Mass Spectrometer at ASMS ConferenceBruker'

At ASMS 2008, Bruker Daltonics today announced the maXis(TM), a
revolutionary new Electrospray Ultra-High Resolution tandem TOF
(UHR-Qq-TOF) mass spectrometer. The novel maXis demonstrates Bruker's
leadership in the design of cutting-edge mass spectrometers to meet
future requirements in applications including small molecule
identification, metabolomics, quantitative proteomics, as well as
biomarker discovery and validation.

   The maXis is unique in offering simultaneous no-compromise
ultra-high resolution of 40,000 - 60,000 FWHM over a broad mass range,
MS and MS/MS mass accuracy typically between 600 and 800 ppb, and all
at speeds of up to 20 full spectra per second. With its unprecedented
performance combination, the maXis offers:

   --  20 Hz full spectra acquisition at ultra-high mass resolution
        for high-speed liquid chromatography

   --  40,000 - 60,000 resolution in both MS and MS/MS mode over a
        broad mass range

   --  excellent high m/z mass range

   --  novel IonCooler(TM) technology delivers excellent MS/MS
        sensitivity over a broad m/z range

   --  high dynamic range of 5 orders of magnitude for trace
        detection in complex mixtures

   --  sub-ppm mass accuracy in both MS and MS/MS mode for high
        confidence IDs

   --  uncompromised MS sensitivity for discovery applications

   --  SmartFormula(TM) 3D unambiguous determination of molecular sum
        formulae for molecules up to 1 kDalton;

   "Now ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry over broad mass
ranges is finally compatible with ultra performance liquid
chromatography," explained Bruker Daltonics Executive Vice President
Dr. Ian Sanders. "Our new maXis indeed represents a major step forward
in tandem mass spectrometry, offering a no-compromise solution for
exceptional accurate mass, ultra-high resolution over a broad mass
range and high sensitivity MS and MS/MS analysis at a speed able to
take full advantage of modern, fast liquid chromatography or fast
capillary electrophoresis separations."

   Dr. Richard Joyce, Structural Elucidation Scientist at Pfizer
(UK), commented: "It is vital to us to solve real-life identification
problems in a dramatically reduced time: our joint development of
SmartFormula 3D applied at maXis performance levels meets our goal of
a one-shot Molecular Formula Machine."

   At the Bruker Daltonics Users Forum on Sunday, June 1st, a
prestigious panel of researchers made presentations detailing a series
of innovative applications utilizing various Bruker Daltonics
instruments, including the maXis. On Monday, June 2nd, at 6:30 p.m.
there will also be a special champagne reception in the Bruker
Hospitality Suite at the Sheraton Denver Hotel for the introduction of
the maxis (no registration required).
