TOFWERK expects to leverage Bruker’s commercial scale to accelerate penetration of selected market segments. This includes offering TOFWERK’s compact time-of-flight mass spectrometers (TOF-MS) for small molecule and volatiles analyses that require exceptional speed and sensitivity, as well as mobility and customization.\n\nTOFWERK’s product portfolio includes specialized solutions based on TOF-MS analyzers and a variety of ionization methods, including real-time proton transfer reaction (PTR) chemical ionization, SIMS using fast ion beams in scanning electron microscopes (FIB-SEM), and inductively coupled plasma ionization (ICP). Novel point-of-need analytical solutions integrating Bruker’s recently acquired direct analysis in real time (DART) technology with TOF-MS are also on the development roadmap.\n\nTOFWERK’s instruments are used in applications such as ambient air monitoring, breath analysis (for research use only), food and flavor analysis, and for airborne molecular contamination (AMC) monitoring in the semiconductor industry. Small footprints and robust engineering enable powerful TOF-MS analysis in demanding industrial environments and aboard mobile platforms, as well as in laboratory settings.\n\nMr. Jürgen Srega, President of the Bruker CALID group, said: “We are delighted to partner with TOFWERK t...
