Advion在2011美国化学会ACS秋季会议上展出expression紧凑型质谱仪

Advion BioSystems to Exhibitexpression Compact Mass Spectrometer at ACS Fall 2011

August 29, 2011 – Denver, CO – Advion BioSystems, a leading life sciences Systems and Consumables developer, and one of North America’s largest LC‐MS bioanalytical CROs, will introduce a Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS) that is approximately half the size, and half the price, of existing single quadrupole mass spectrometers on the market. The CMS launch will take place at the ACS 2011 Fall meeting in Denver, CO August 29 – 31, 2011.

2011年8月29日，丹佛，生命科学系统和消耗品的开发商，以及北美最大的LC-MS生物分析CROs公司——Advion BioSytems，将推出一款紧凑型的质谱仪（CMS，Compact Mass Spectrometer），具有市场上传统单四极杆质谱仪一半的体积，一半的价格。CMS将在2011年美国化学会在丹佛举办的秋季会议（2011年8月29-31日）上推出。

The expression CMS was developed with synthetic organic and process development chemists in mind. The expression CMS allows them to identify and to monitor compounds as they are created in, or next to, the reactor. Traditionally, these chemists would initiate a multi‐hour reaction and periodically withdraw samples for analysis in an open access mass spectrometry lab. Answers could take hours, eliminating the usefulness of the information. Available systems were too complex, costly and large to be used in a hood, or on the bench, next to the reaction. The expression CMS is fast and easy to use with an intuitive software package which can be run on a tablet. The instrument was designed with a small footprint (< 11 inches wide) that will fit within a fumehood, or next to an existing bench instrumentation stack, thereby conserving valuable laboratory space.

expression CMS是为有机合成和流程开发的化学家们设计的质谱仪。expresssion CMS使化学家们能够鉴定和监控自己创造出的化合物或反应生成物。传统上，化学家们做了许多小时的反应，然后周期性地把一些反应生成物样品送至质谱开放实验室去鉴定。为了排除掉那些无用的信息，获得分析结果也得花几个小时。可供分析的系统过于复杂、花费昂贵，体积庞大，因此不能放置在靠近反应的台面或罩子（厨）中。而expression CMS分析快速、易于使用，还可在平板电脑上操控一款直观的软件包。仪器占地非常小（不到11英寸宽），可放置于实验通风厨中，或靠近现有的台式仪器堆，因此大大节省了实验室的宝贵空间。

“This group of chemists has been largely underserved and Advion has a wealth of experience in mass spectrometry applications as well as medicinal chemistry,”says Simon Prosser, Senior Marketing Director for the expression CMS. “Current single quadrupole mass spectrometers have significantly more analytical power than required by our target customers, and they are paying for functionality they do not need. We have created a product with excellent performance, a smaller package, an attractive price, and we are putting the power of mass spectrometry where they need it – in their lab.”

“化学家的群体已经从Advion那里获得了很多服务，Advion在质谱应用和医药化学方面有丰富的经验。 ”expression CMS的高级市场经理Simon Prosser表示，“在我们的目标客户中，现有的单级四极杆质谱仪的分析能力要显著超出他们的需求，这些客户在为他们不需要的功能付费。而我们创造了一个产品，具有优秀的性能，更小的体积，更吸引人的价格，我们正在把质谱的力量扩展到需要它的实验室中。

With a price tag under US $50K, the expression CMS falls within the discretionary budget of most academic institutes and industrial departments.

expression CMS的价签不到5万美元，对于大多数科学研究所和工业部门来说，都落在了他们的弹性预算范围内。

The ACS Fall 2011 display is a launch to introduce the concept of the expression CMS to a key audience, and to receive final input from the market prior to official commercial release and shipment in spring 2012.

2011年美国化学会秋季会议，将推出expression CMS的概念，从收到市场的反馈订单到商业的发货，将到2012年春天。
