The Pegasus BT does not just analyze one mass at a time; it measures the entire mass range simultaneously. This provides a "true" mass spectrum for every data point. pegasus bt
To understand the significance of the Pegasus BT, one must first appreciate the limitations of traditional GC-MS systems. For decades, the industry standard was the quadrupole mass spectrometer. While reliable, quadrupole systems operate by scanning masses sequentially. As they scan, they spend the majority of their time measuring noise between the ions of interest. This "duty cycle" limitation restricts sensitivity, particularly when analyzing trace-level compounds in complex matrices. This provides a "true" mass spectrum for every data point
Food matrices are notoriously difficult to analyze. They contain fats, sugars, and pigments that can interfere with detection. pegasus bt
