MSVision

After a couple of years, every #massspec instrument reaches it end-of-service lifetime (EOSL) with the manufacturers, typically a couple of years after the last systems had been sold. This is the time when the manufacturers normally do not offer service support or spare parts anymore. What is your oldest system in the lab? Which systems reach EOSL soon? MSVision supports a whole range of older systems which are not supported by the manufacturers anymore: Thermo LTQ and LTQ-Orbitraps, Waters QTOF Ultima, Premier and earlier Synapt generation, etc. If you need support on these older #massspec systems or spare parts, contact #MSVision at info@msvision.com or visit our website https://lnkd.in/e73MMT_N #msvision #massspectrometry #lcms #service

This is how it sounds when we can help a customer with an older system 😍 #Massspec systems can be in operation for many years when appropriately handled. There is no need always to get the newest and latest gadget when the existing one is still fit for purpose. A typical #massspec system may contain as many as 15.000 parts (yes, we actually counted them once!). Think of the amount of resources that go into producing such a piece of technology! ♻️ And with that in mind: have you ever considered purchasing a pre-owned instrument? These are available from MSVision, including warranty and service contracts to keep you safe. And you will save a lot of money in comparison to new instruments. Ask us for our offerings on pre-owned instruments at info@msvision.com or check out our website: https://lnkd.in/e24dte4N #msvision #massspectrometry #lcms

This year MS Vision will celebrate its 20th anniversary. 20 years of vendor-independent #service for European #LCMS customers! What started as a small business founded by former Waters/Micromass employees has grown into one of the largest independent #massspec service providers and the only one with own R&D and instrument development capabilities. Nowadays we offer service on Waters/Micromass, Sciex and ThermoFisher instruments with our own service engineers and offices in the Netherlands, Germany, UK and France. We will also have a service colleague close to you! For an overview on our service offerings, download our service flyer from the website: https://lnkd.in/ewGCgqu3 and get an overview on our supported instruments here: https://lnkd.in/ebF6gdU2!

After a couple of years, every #massspec instrument reaches it end-of-service lifetime (EOSL) with the manufacturers, typically a couple of years after the last systems had been sold. The manufacturers want to sell new instruments and supporting elder system is a burden for them, even if they are technically still perfect o.k. What is your oldest system in the lab? Which systems reach EOSL soon? MSVision supports a whole range of older systems which are not supported by the manufacturers anymore: Thermo LTQ and LTQ-Orbitraps, Waters QTOF Ultima, Premier and earlier Synapt generation, etc. If you need support on these older #massspec systems, contact #MSVision at info@msvision.com or visit our website https://lnkd.in/e73MMT_N #msvision #massspectrometry #lcms #service

This year MSVision celebrates its 20th anniversary. As usual in autum we had our company gathering and in celebration of the anniversary it was combined with a breakout to Zeeland (NL). The first day was packed with various updates on structure, sales numbers, strategy as well as dedicated sessions e.g. for sales and service followed by an electric scooter tour which for some of us ended in a real physical exercise as they had to push their broken scooter (likely due to a loose plug or broken cable) for 1.5 km. This stresses the importance of regular preventive maintenance!!! The evening was closed with a nice BBQ 🥩🍷🍽 On the next day we went to a Marina and split into two groups. One for a more recreational boat trip ⛵ (which was particulary useful for those who stayed a bit longer after dinner) and one for more mental and physical exercises with an Escape room game and Lasertag (sorry, no pictures from the Lasertag, I had to fight to survive... 😉 ), and reconvened for closing the meeting over lunch. #msvision #massspec #massspectrometry #team #lcms

Since many years, MSVision is active in the field of high mass and #nativeMS and we modified numerous Waters QTOF systems for applications in structural biology and virology. Since September 2023 we now also offer a high mass upgrade to convert ThermoFisher's QExactive into a #NativeQE. The idea of that system is not to compete with Thermo's QEx UHMR, but to offer a better product for people working more in biopharma/protein characterization than in classical proteomics as the QExactive has some limitations for intact protein work we wanted to overcome and now we are looking into how to make it even better suited for your applications. In the last years Thermo promoted the Orbitrap Ascend for biopharma work and we are sure there are many systems in the field being used in this application. But why did you decide for an Ascend over e.g. a QExactive or an Exploris? What were the drivers behind that decision and what made the Ascend particularly appealing to you? Please help us with your responses to make our NativeQE an even better product for the biopharma community! #massspec #massspectrometry #biologics #antibody

Even a short feedback let's us know if we are on the right track! 👍🤝 For further information on our pan-European service offerings email us at info@msvision.com or visit https://lnkd.in/e73MMT_N! #msvision #massspec #massspectrometry #service #lcms

Everyone is talking nowadays about being environmentally friendly. But what does it mean? And what does it mean to us in #massspec where everyone wants to have the newest, most recent toy every few years? Are you aware that every instrument weighs a couple of hundred kilograms and contains a bunch of valuable resources? E.g. a Bruker maXis consists out of approximately 15.000 individual parts, which have to be manufactured and assembled. There is loads of aluminium and steel in them as well as copper, gold, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium and other metals. What can we do as mass spectrometrists to value these resources? Well, actually a lot! We can e.g. recycle these resources by using pre-owned instruments which are still fit-for-job. #MSVision can help you in selling your existing equipment as well as to source pre-owned instruments for you. We also help you to keep them into operation as long as possible with our #LCMS service offerings also for legacy instruments. We can also provide you with tips on how to reduce energy consumption on the systems. What is the share of time in which your system is generating data? Are you aware that some systems have a valve with which you can close the source so that no gas is getting into the system anymore? This has two effects: a\) there is less dirt getting into the system from ambient air and b\) the pumps get less gas load and do need less power for pumping. Our colleagues from R&D have calculated several 100kg of carbon dioxide could be saved over the course of the year under ideal conditions when keeping the source lock valve shut when the instrument is not in use as an API #massspec sucks in around 4L of air per minute which needs to get pumped away. We can also help you to upgrade existing systems to reduce their energy consumption. E.g. modern scroll or dry-pumps have about one third of the electric power uptake of an oil pump like an Agilent MS40+!

API4000? LCQ Deca? QTOF Ultima? We also offer service for older systems that are not yet ready for retirement but still need some TLC.

MSVision is in it's 21st year now. Since the beginning we were offering services around #LCMS instruments in Europe. And we also offer pre-owned #massspec. Currently we have an Exploris 480 and a Xevo QTOF G2-XS available. Do you need some expanded MS capacity? But we are also eager to optimize our offering in that context and would like to learn from you. Thus we have created a short (I promise!) and fully anonymous questionnaire on whether or not and why you would consider to buy a used #massspectrometer. You would help us a lot if you would respond to the questionnaire: https://lnkd.in/eEADu4ci And for the above mentioned instruments: when you are interested in either of them, visit https://lnkd.in/e5wxMMN2 or email us at info@msvision.com!
