Product news

LECO Corporation’s latest innovation for the GC-MS marketplace, the Pegasus® BT, was introduced at ASMS in 2016. The Pegasus BT gives users all of the data they could ever need from a single sample run with an innovative new TOFMS platform.

Unique and powerful software and hardware features simplify quantitation, while also identifying more components with dramatically increased sensitivity. The StayClean™ ion source eliminates the need for source cleaning, while a convenient benchtop package saves valuable space in the laboratory. The Pegasus BT will give users more uptime and improved, richer chemical data, yielding an increase in overall laboratory productivity and efficiency.

Obtaining better chemical information is only part of the solution. LECO’s ChromaTOF® brand software works seamlessly with the new Pegasus BT to automatically process user data and remove the guesswork involved with analyte identification and quantification. Features such as NonTarget Deconvolution™, Target Analyte Find, library searches, an easy-to-configure interface, and data that provides complete mapping of each sample, all come together to give users a better GC-MS experience.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.

Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
