The calibration/QC standard savings are actually higher because new standards only have to be brought into use half as often.

Spectrometrics Limited @spectrometrix.bsky.social · Sep 6

It’s essentially a straight scale down without a full revalidation. For MCERTS or GxP, there are potentially further savings in electricity use, up to 10x improvements in detection limits and delivery of higher sample throughput that could be delivered through change control or an NS30 validation.

Just done a desk study for a lab doing VOC analysis. Spectrometrics technology can let them scale down to 10 mL vials saving TWO tonnes of waste glass per GC-MS system per year, HALVE their costs on calibration and QC standards, and save 10% on vial costs (£2000/yr).

Splitless headspace analysis is a game changer for labs doing residual solvents, environmental & biogenic VOCs. It also opens up Hot Injection & Trapping (HIT) with a standard Agilent inlet (for headspace, SPME, SPME arrow and related techniques).

Zivak’s Multitasker takes control of the data analysis in CE-IVD workflows, saving you the cost of a CE-IVD LC-MS. This means that in many countries, you can use the standard (research) version of your #MassSpec. Get the Robot + MassSpec for less than the CE-IVD LC-MS!

And it’s not just GC-MS and LC-MS: Just-in-time (or offline PrepAhead for consistent post-prep hold-times) can also be done for NMR (best with short, 100mm tubes). Bruker (and less expensive 3rd parties) do options for high-field and benchtop instruments.
