“This merger will help us to accelerate development of DART MS
and properly resource robust applications development programs,”
commented the CEO of IonSense, Jeff Zonderman. “Our vision remains
to use DART to empower mass spectrometers to perform better outside
their traditional LC and GC workflows. We are committed to
continuing sales of our DART sources for coupling with all vendors’
mass spectrometers. In partnership with Bruker, we will leverage
their strong presence and reputation in analytical instrumentation,
and their investments in IonSense, to introduce our enabling
technology to a wider customer audience at a faster pace.”
Commenting on the acquisition, Dr. Robert Galvin, VP Applied
Markets at Bruker Daltonics, stated: “We are excited about bringing
this enabling technology to our customers. We believe that mass
spectrometry has a broader potential in a wider range of markets
than it has previously been known for. Our financial commitment to
DART will ultimately enable more people to have access to the power
of mass spectrometry for today’s analytical challenges.”
DART is an ionization source that, uniquely, analyzes a variety
of particles (including solids, liquids and gases) without needing
any sample chromatography prior to MS analysis. This removes a
time-consuming step, so users can rapidly identify samples,
including many that do not ionize well using other methods, at the
point of need (PoN).
