29-Mar-2006

Thermo Electron Corporation announced that it received the gold Editor's Award at PITTCON 2006. Editors in attendance voted Thermo's LTQ Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer the best new product introduction of the show, which featured over 1000 exhibiting companies.

Used in small molecule research, proteomics, metabolomics and drug discovery applications, the LTQ Orbitrap is a hybrid mass spectrometer that, according to Thermo, offers superior mass resolution and accuracy, detection power and dynamic range as compared to existing Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology.

"We believe the LTQ Orbitrap's patented technology represents the most significant breakthrough in mass spectrometry since the ion trap was introduced over 20 years ago," commented Marc N. Casper, senior vice president of Thermo. "The performance advancements of the LTQ Orbitrap address our customers' need for faster, more accurate analysis. We are as excited as our customers about the LTQ Orbitrap and its impact on promising research being performed in laboratories worldwide."
