The partnership provides a basis for technology collaborations
to advance instrument capabilities and for the development of novel
analytical applications where high speed and ultra-sensitivity
matter. 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.
TOFWERK’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.
TOFWERK’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.
Mr. Jürgen Srega, President of the Bruker CALID group, said: “We
are delighted to partner with TOFWERK to combine our innovations
for novel analytical applications on fit-for-purpose scientific
tools. Our recently acquired IonSense DART technology coupled to
the TOFWERK Vocus CI-TOF-MS platform illustrates our technology
synergies for the benefit of applied and industrial market
customers in diverse application fields.”
Dr. Katrin Fuhrer, co-founder and CFO of TOFWERK, commented: "We
are pleased to partner with Bruker as it allows us to leverage
technical and operational synergies to better serve our customers
through Bruker’s global commercial and service channels.”
Dr. Marc Gonin, co-founder and CEO of TOFWERK, added: “We are
excited to work closely with Bruker to further accelerate the
commercialization of compact, high-speed TOF-MS solutions for
industrial and applied markets, based on ultra-high sensitivity and
point-of-need analysis technologies developed at TOFWERK and
Bruker.”
