Three new mass spectrometers include Finnigan LXQ Linear Ion Trap mass spectrometer for high-throughput drug discovery and proteomics; Delta V Series Isotope Ratio mass spectrometer for earth sciences research; and DFS High Resolution Magnetic Sector mass spectrometer for high-precision environmental analysis. Finnigan LXQ device makes linear trap performance cost-effective for fast-paced analytical laboratories. Delta V Series in-cludes the Delta V Advantage and Delta V Plus and offers linearity and stability in a compact design. DFS unit is a high-resolution, double-focusing magnetic sector GC-MS used primarily to perform trace compound analyses of environmental samples such as dioxins.
