Bruker Chromatography free DART source

DART-MS (Direct Analysis in Real Time) is an ambient ionization source that enables rapid, versatile analysis directly on solids, liquids and gases in their native form, without chromatography or complex sample preparation. Samples ranging from concrete and currency to human skin can be analyzed as-is, cutting solvent usage by up to 90% and allowing laboratories to process up to 1,500 samples per day. Because there is no chromatographic separation step, DART-MS delivers results faster than conventional GC-MS or LC-MS workflows for screening-type analyses.

Key features:

• Ambient ionization directly on solids, liquids and gases in native form

• Chromatography-free — no complex sample preparation required

• Up to 90% reduction in solvent usage

• Throughput of up to 1,500 samples per day

• Faster results than conventional GC-MS or LC-MS for screening

Typical applications:

• Rapid screening of diverse sample types (surfaces, solids, liquids, gases)

• High-throughput quality control and forensic screening

• Applications where sample prep time and solvent cost must be minimized
