Core offering

Advion Interchim Scientific designs, manufactures, and sells compact mass spectrometry systems (expression CMS, SOLATION ICP-MS, TriVersa NanoMate), chromatography platforms (AVANT (U)HPLC, puriFlash), ambient ionization sources and direct-analysis probes (ASAP, iASAP, Touch Express OPSI, vAPCI, Plate Express), and supporting data-acquisition and analysis software (Mass Express, Peak Express, CheMS, TAMI) to academic, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, clinical, food, environmental, and cannabis testing laboratories worldwide. The portfolio is sold as capital equipment and consumables through direct sales and a global distributor network, with instruments positioned as benchtop, chemist-centric alternatives to centralized core-facility mass spectrometry.

Product overview

Advion Interchim Scientific offers a unified portfolio of chemist-centric mass spectrometry, chromatography, and purification solutions. The core offering centers on the express**ion**® Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS), a benchtop mass spec designed for direct use by chemists at the bench. This integrates with sampling accessories including ASAP®, iASAP, Touch Express™ OPSI, vAPCI, and Plate Express® for various direct analysis approaches. Complementary instruments include SOLATION® ICP-MS for elemental analysis, AVANT® (U)HPLC chromatography systems, and puriFlash® flash purification systems (including puriFlash®-MS with integrated MS detection). Supporting software includes Mass Express, Peak Express™ (with patented Delta Spectrum technology), Quant Express, Data Express, CheMS, and TAMI. The TriVersa® NanoMate® provides chip-based nanoelectrospray ionization. Accessories include N₂ Gas Generators. Together these products form an integrated workflow from reaction monitoring through purification and compound identification.
