Endless possibilities. Limitless research.

Endless possibilities. Limitless research.

Developed through focused collaboration, the SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS combines novel cyclic ion mobility separation with state-of-the-art, high performance, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, enabling leading researchers to unlock the potential in scientific discovery.

The SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS enables selection of ions by both mass and mobility, a unique functionality of Cyclic Ion Mobility (cIM) that provides unparalleled flexibility and capabilities for research studies in both academia and industry. With ion mobility and mass spectrometry, you can separate by shape as well as m/z for separation of isomers, measure the Collisional Cross Section (CCS) of an ion, and achieve significantly cleaner mass spectral data.

Discover more with ultimate ion mobility resolution

The instrument design and control software enable a range of experiments, including acquisition of Tof data, Single pass ion mobility, and the ability to scale mobility resolution to match the complexity of a sample. Ion mobility resolution increases with the length of the mobility device and therefore with the number of passes.


Unlock the potential in scientific discovery

The unique instrument design of the SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS facilitates advanced ion mobility experiments like IMSn isolation. IMSn isolation extends the resolution of a specific mobility range, e.g., ions of a specific species. Eject ions (without acquisition) outside of the desired mobility range, leaving the remaining species in the cIM to continue the separation process. This “trimming” approach can be undertaken numerous times and can be used, for example, to increase specificity of the selected ions or to prevent “wrap-around” in the cIM where high mobility ions catch up with low mobility ions in multi-pass experiments. Multiple cyclic sequences of different numbers of passes can be defined in one, multi-pass LC-MS method, increasing productivity by reducing the need for multiple injections of the same sample,


Undertake advanced structural characterization

IMSn activation is ideal for advanced structural characterization. During mobility separation, excise a segment of the mobility separated species and send the ions to the pre array storage device. Unwanted ions are ejected, and the stored ions are then re-injected into the array under collision induced activation/dis-sociation conditions, as required, and subsequent mobility separation performed. The product ions can then be sent to the Tof for detection or can undergo further rounds of mobility selection providing the unique IMSn capability.


Imaging mass spectrometry with DESI XS and Cyclic IMS

The unique combination of DESI XS with SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS provides ultimate levels of specificity for MS imaging approaches. DESI XS produces a visual map of the spatial distribution of a wide range of analytes, for example small molecule drugs, metabolites, and lipids across the surface of a tissue sample, and the unique capabilities and modes of acquisition of Cyclic IMS enable comprehensive in-depth experiments to be performed.


Increased sensitivity provides confidence in what you find

To complement the novel Cyclic Ion Mobility capability and for complete confidence in your data, the SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS is equipped with the latest ToF technology. The XS transfer device maintains the fidelity of the ion mobility separation while simultaneously conditioning the ion beam for the absolute best time-of-flight performance. The new offset oa-Tof with dual gain detection system provides improved sensitivity, resolution >100,000 (FWHM), reliable accurate exact mass measurements (low ppm), and improved dynamic range.
