Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR) announced the launch of its timsMRMS mass spectrometry system at the ASMS conference. The platform combines Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry with Magnetic Resonance Mass Spectrometry for analyzing complex molecular structures in energy applications.

The system provides mass resolution exceeding 10 million and sub-parts-per-million mass accuracy, according to the company's press release. The technology targets researchers working in petroleomics, sustainable fuels, and energy storage materials.

The timsMRMS platform addresses two primary applications in energy research. For lithium battery development, the system analyzes electrolyte formulations and molecular changes during charge-discharge cycles. For biofuels research, it examines the molecular composition of pyrolysis and biomass-derived oils.

"Many application areas in energy research present extreme levels of chemical diversity that are incredibly challenging," said Dr. Paul Speir, Senior Vice President of Bruker's Global MRMS Business. "With the timsMRMS, we are equipping energy researchers with a complete unique tool that provides greater clarity and confidence in characterizing the extreme chemical complexity of next-generation batteries and alternative fuels."

The system enables researchers to identify molecular species in ultra-complex mixtures through isotope fine structure identification. This capability supports materials scientists studying battery lifespan, safety, and energy density factors.

For sustainable fuel development, the platform provides molecular formula determination and compound class analysis of bio-oils and biofuels, supporting research into low-carbon transportation fuels.

Bruker manufactures scientific instruments and analytical solutions for life sciences, materials research, and industrial applications. The San Diego-based company serves customers in molecular biology research, applied sciences, microscopy, and semiconductor metrology sectors.
