Description: The plate Express® is designed to obtain mass spectra directly from thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates. When paired with the company’s expression® Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS), the integrated TLC/CMS system lets chemists rapidly identify products in complex mixtures without additional sample preparation.

The automated process delivers spot identification in under one minute via a software-driven workflow that requires only a few mouse clicks. By sampling directly from TLC plates, the system naturally isolates the precise volume required for analysis, effectively eliminating the risk of overloading the mass spectrometer. Designed to simplify routine analytical operations, the Plate Express system offers multi-user academic and industrial laboratories a faster, low-maintenance pathway to accurate compound identification.
