Increase your analysis speed with
the LDTD ionization source
In 2006, Phytronix Technologies Inc. launched the first ionization source able to fully analyze a sample in less than 10 seconds by mass spectrometry. Since that time, Phytronix is a leader in the Ultra-High Throughput technology for mass spectrometry.
This innovative design is based on a shotgun approach where the sample is introduced in the mass spectrometer by a rapid laser thermal desorption process and is ionized by an Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Reactions (LDTD-APCI).

AB SCIEX and Phytronix Partner to Expand Choices for High-Throughput Drug Discovery, Forensic Toxicology and Food Safety Analysis
Integration of LDTD technology into AB SCIEX mass spectrometers
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - June 6, 2011 - AB SCIEX, a global leader in life science analytical technologies, and Phytronix Technologies today announced that they are working together to expand choices for scientists and lab analysts focused on high-throughput pharmaceutical applications, forensic toxicology and food safety testing. The two companies are integrating Phytronix's LDTD (Laser Diode Thermal Desorption) Ion source with the AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600 System as a first step to offer the high-throughput accurate mass market a better alternative than other technologies. AB SCIEX and Phytronix are presenting information about LDTD-MS/MS integration at the American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference in Denver this week. To learn more...
