SepSolve BenchTOF2 Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

Applications

Non-target Screening

• Full-range spectral acquisition enables simultaneous detection of target and unknown compounds in a single analysis.

Food and Aroma Analysis

• BenchTOF2 captures detailed structural information for confident compound identification in food and fragrance applications. Tandem Ionisation® can provide additional confidence when identifying aroma compounds and isomers.

Fragrance Analysis

• Deconvolution and high-quality spectral information reveal low-abundance and co-eluting compounds in complex fragrance samples.

GC×GC Analysis

• Fast acquisition rates and compatibility with INSIGHT® modulators support comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography workflows.

Recycled Plastics Analysis

• Identification of odour-active compounds in recycled plastics through clear chromatographic separation and confident spectral identification.

Sustainable Fuels and Petrochemical Analysis

• Characterisation of fuel composition and evaluation of recycling processes using GC×GC coupled with BenchTOF2.

Benefits 

• Confident identification of both target and unknown compounds in a single analysis.
• Improved confidence in non-target screening of complex samples.
• Detection of trace-level compounds without sacrificing spectral information.
• Ability to retrospectively search datasets for newly relevant compounds without reanalysing samples.
• Accurate quantification across low and high concentration ranges, reducing the need for sample dilution and repeat analyses.
• Faster analytical workflows for GC and GC×GC applications.
• Increased confidence in identifying challenging compounds and isomers.
• Lower operating costs and improved laboratory productivity through support for hydrogen carrier gas.
• Reduced instrument downtime and less routine maintenance.
• Smooth transition between research, method development and routine analysis workflows.
• Reduced training requirements through a unified workflow environment.
• More information extracted from every sample, improving decision-making and analytical insight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a time-of-flight mass spectrometer?

A TOF mass spectrometer determines the mass-to-charge ratio of ions based on the time required for ions to travel from the ion source to the detector.

What makes BenchTOF2 different from a quadrupole MS?

BenchTOF2 analyses all ions simultaneously, while quadrupole instruments use mass filtering. This improves sensitivity and supports non-target screening.

Can BenchTOF2 be used for GC×GC?

Yes. BenchTOF2 supports GC×GC workflows and offers acquisition speeds up to 400 Hz, suitable for narrow GC×GC peaks.

What is Tandem Ionisation®?

Tandem Ionisation® is a patented technology that simultaneously acquires hard and soft electron ionisation spectra in a single run, providing complementary information for compound identification. 

Does BenchTOF2 support hydrogen carrier gas?

Yes. BenchTOF2 is certified for use with hydrogen carrier gas, enabling faster separations and lower operating costs.
