EXOSENS SETS NEW BENCHMARKS IN PERFORMANCE AND LIFETIME FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES

Exosens, a global leader in advanced detection technologies, is redefining detector performance for Mass Spectrometry with a new generation of technology solutions engineered to deliver higher sensitivity, longer operational lifetime, and enhanced system reliability for existing and next-generation analytical instrumentation. These latest innovations will be showcased at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Annual Conference 2026, where Exosens will exhibit at booth #800.

At the center of this announcement is Exosens’ new Lead-Free Ultimate Series Microchannel Plates (MCPs), designed to deliver exceptional detector performance while supporting a more sustainable future for analytical instrumentation. Built using a proprietary glass formulation, the Ultimate Series delivers improved detection performance, offers enhanced gain stability, and extends operational lifetime compared to traditional MCP technologies.

Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern analytical instrumentation, the Ultimate Series MCPs are available in multiple formats, including a 5-micron pore size configuration optimized for high-resolution applications. By eliminating lead without compromising performance, Exosens is setting a new standard for sustainable, high-performance detection technologies in Mass Spectrometry.

Expanding its Time-of-Flight (TOF) detector portfolio, Exosens will also launch the latest state-of-the-art performance advancements to its APTOF and BPTOF platforms, now available with the new Ultimate Series MCP technology to deliver enhanced gain, improved durability, and long-term operational stability.

For high-performance TOF applications, the BPTOF B500 introduces a hybrid photodiode configuration engineered to significantly extend detector operational lifetime while maintaining exceptional sensitivity and signal integrity. This breakthrough architecture addresses one of the most critical challenges in TOF detection: sustaining long-term performance ifor the most demanding analytical applications.

Designed for compact benchtop TOF systems, the APTOF A300 simplifies system integration through a capacitively coupled architecture with integrated high-voltage isolation. This innovative design protects downstream electronics, including digitizers, while reducing overall instrument complexity and system cost for OEM manufacturers.

Exosens will also showcase Helitron™, its next-generation detection platform for Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry instruments. Building upon the proven Scintitron concept, Helitron™ integrates a precisely controlled magnetic field that guides secondary electrons directly to the scintillator while preventing ion bombardment of the scintillator surface.

By minimizing scintillator degradation, Helitron™ significantly extends detector lifetime while maintaining high signal-to-noise ratio and gain stability over time. The result is cleaner signal acquisition, improved analytical reliability, and more consistent long-term instrument performance for Mass Spectrometry systems operating in high-throughput environments.

“Mass spectrometry systems continue to demand higher sensitivity, speed, longer operational lifetime, and greater reliability. Our latest detector innovations are developed to support instrument manufacturers overcome these challenges while enabling the next generation of analytical performance,” said Ulrich Laupper - President and Executive General Manager of the Exosens Ultimate Detection Business. We are proud to be part of the ASMS and committed to continue contributing to the advancement of research and science in the field of Mass Spectrometry.

The American Society for Mass Spectrometry Annual Conference is one of the world’s leading events for analytical science and Mass Spectrometry, bringing together researchers, instrument manufacturers, and industry leaders to explore the latest technological advancements shaping the future of analytical instrumentation.

Attendees are invited to visit Exosens at booth #800 to experience these innovations firsthand and speak with technical experts about how Exosens detection technologies can enhance the performance, durability, and integration of next-generation Mass Spectrometry systems.
