What's New with DART? 
The latest developments and news on DART® Mass Spectrometry 
 
 
Greetings!,

We are all looking forward to the ASMS meeting in Minneapolis next week and want to let you know what is happening with DART.  

We will be exhibiting our new DART GSX for the Agilent GC/MSD as well as our other DART sources for all your LC/MS instruments. We also are now offering accurate mass on the MSD through our partnership with Cerno Bioscience, which you can read about here.  Please stop by our Booth #142 to see what is new in rapid screening technology.

And of course, many researchers are presenting their work on DART, and we have a list of their contributions below.

Please have a look and contact me if you have any questions or comments.


Regards,

Have Your Samples Run on the NEW DART GSX

    
The DART GSX System

The new DART-GSX System enables rapid screening and characterization of samples on the Agilent GC/MSD, which is widely used in many of your labs 

 

For details on the GSX, you can download the brochure here 

 

The DART GSX System can be fitted to one of your existing Agilent GC/MSD instruments or it can be supplied as a complete system with a new or refurbished Agilent GC/MSD.  

 

If you are interested in having samples run on the demonstration unit in Saugus, please let us know
