The Touch Express™ Open Port Sampling Interface (OPSI), is designed for simple sampling of solids, liquids and sample preparation tips and fibers. The novel ambient sampling technique was developed by Gary Van Berkel and Vilmos Kertesz, of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Paired with the electrospray ion source of the expression® Compact Mass Spectrometer, the product incorporates a low volume, open port of continuously swept solvent, flowing directly into the electrospray ion source of the mass spectrometer.
Introducing a new type of mass spectrum, available exclusively in the Advion Peak Express™ software suite: the Delta Spectrum (ΔS). The ΔS is available with the expression® compact mass spectrometer (CMS) to look beyond chemical noise and automatically detect even the smallest peaks without knowing the m/z in advance.
With the Peak Express™ software featuring ΔS, you can:
- Obtain clear detection of peaks without knowing their mass
- Find adducts, dimers, fragments, side-reactions and other unexpected compounds at the click of a button, in real-time or with post-processing
- Highlight minor components in complex mixtures and dirty matrices
- Control mass-directed purification without providing the compound mass
- Acquire XIC-quality data while scanning the entire mass range, allowing Peak Express™ to tell you the m/z
The CheMS user interface simplifies the mass spectrometry experience and makes it more accessible in chemistry and biochemistry laboratories. This allows the chemist to obtain optimal data without needing to be an expert in mass spectrometry.

Available with the Advion expression® compact mass spectrometer (CMS) is a fast and easy tool that is ideal for the teaching environment — Students simply select an ionization method for effortless instrument setup at the click of a button.
