Cerno Bioscience to Showcase Complete MassWorks Mass Spectrometry Software Suite at PITTCON 2008

Cerno Bioscience will unveil MassWorks™ sCLIPS (self Calibrated Line-shape Isotope Profile Search), the latest addition to its award-winning MassWorks™ mass spectrometry software portfolio at booth #2202, PITTCON, March 2–7 2008, New Orleans, Louisiana. Using Cerno’s patented technology, sCLIPS significantly improves formula identification results from High Mass Accuracy (HMA) instruments, providing higher-quality, reproducible data through accurate line-shape calibration. For the first time ever, sCLIPS also enables users to obtain unique formula ID from ion trap mass spectrometers.

MassWorks sCLIPS enables users of HMA instruments including TOF, high resolution quadrupoles, Orbitrap, magnetic sector and FTMS to easily enhance formula ID results without the need to run calibration standards. Also providing significant benefits for users of ion trap instruments, sCLIPS uniquely enables formula ID through high spectral accuracy when running ion traps in zoom and enhanced modes as a result of its patented lineshape calibration capabilities.

Alongside this innovative new development, Cerno will showcase MassWorks CLIPS at PITTCON 2008. CLIPS uses Cerno’s patented MSIntegrity™ calibration technology in order to achieve up to 100x improvement in mass accuracy on single and triple quadrupole instruments. MassWorks CLIPS significantly improves the quality of data from any mass spectrometer from unit mass resolution instruments through to FTMS systems.

Cerno Bioscience will be jointly presenting, with Chevron Research and Technology, ‘The Simultaneous Determination of Hundreds of Petroleum Components through the Use of Spectral Accuracy with FI-TOF Mass Spectrometry’ on March 3 at 10.25am in Room 241.

Cerno will also give three oral presentations on March 5 at PITTCON 2008. ‘The Use of Spectral Accuracy for Formula Identification in Mass Spectrometry’, will take place in Room 350 at 8.30am, ‘Introducing MassWorks Software Version 1.2 for Mass Spectrometry with Accurate Line-Shape Calibration for Improved Formula ID from Ion Trap and High Resolution MS Systems’ will be held in Room 235, also at 8.30am and ‘The Challenges of Accurately Deconvoluting Mass Spectrally Overlapped Ion Signals’ will take place in Room 350 at 8.50am.
