Research and development
This instrument is simple to use and maintain. It is particularly good for those researchers that may have only periodic use. It can be shut down at the end of a work day and started up the next day and be ready to operate within about 45 minutes if a tune is required or as in little as 30 minutes if no tuning is required. This makes the operation of the device much more cost effective than other systems that must run 24/7, 365. Multiple ion sources exist for a range of different types of analytes and for different sample introduction needs. It is nominal mass resolution, but holds a calibration very well. Tandem mass spectrometry would be really nice but confirmation of pure compounds infused or eluting can be done with alternating scans with different interface conditions that either promote intact molecules or fragmentation in the interface. One can also alternate positive ion and negative ion scans which provides a wider range of detection capability in a single run.

Good basic MS for research labs
Small molecule analysis, reaction monitoring
The instrument occupies a tiny bench space and generally works well for the 2 years we had it. It interfaces well with Agilent HPLC front end and a BioTage Isolera Dalton flash purification system. The sensitivity is more than enough for reaction monitoring and product characterization in a synthetic lab. Routine maintenance requirements were minimal, very suitable for "non-expert" users. Advion has multiple ion sources, sample introduction options, and accessories, which makes the daily use very easy and flexible. The software has a few bugs and may require a restart or reboot every week or two, but overall not too bad.

The CMS from Advion is a very robust and user-friendly mass spectrometer.
TLC-MS coupling
The CMS from Advion is a very robust instrument. The ion source is easy to clean. You don't have to be an expert in mass spectrometry to be able to operate it. The sensitivity is quite impressive for such a small MS!

Great value, easy to use, should be part of every core facility.
Routine analysis, used in core facility
The Advion CMS, is a well-constructed easy to use mass spectrometer, what provides quick and easy to interpret data, providing excellent value for money. Along with its ASAP probe, analysis can be reduced to a matter of seconds per sample, enabling fast turnaround time, increasing productivity, as less time is spent waiting for results.
