ID-CUBE

For users who don't require the extensive sampling capabilities of the DART-SVP, the ID-CUBE provides an even simpler ionisation capability. The ID-CUBE will accept solid samples or samples in solution and will provide spectra in a few seconds without any sample preparation. Click on the video on the left to see how it works

Simplified DART

• Spot a few microlitres of solution or a small amount of powder on the wire mesh of the OpenSpot sampling card
• Place card in the sample slot of the ID-CUBE
• Select low, medium or high temperature
• Mesh is heated almost instantaneously to desorb sample and generate ions
• Sample identification is validated by accurate mass measurement

Benefits of ID-CUBE

• No sample preparation for fast results
• Results within seconds – no need for LC separation
• Ideal for open access laboratories – no operator training required
• Simple operation – eliminates errors
• Low cost and high throughput solution

The ID-CUBE is intended for operation with mass spectrometers having accurate mass capability. Initially, the ID-CUBE is available on Thermo mass spectrometers fitted with the IonMax source. Versions for other manufacturers' instruments will be available soon.
