Chromatography column manufacturer Restek and life science tools company BrightSpec have launched SpectrAline cartridges, a sample introduction solution for molecular rotational resonance (MRR).
“For emerging analytical platforms to succeed, the consumables must be as reliable as the instrument itself,” said Restek CCO Jeanine Pippitt.
The line of preconcentration columns offer higher sensitivity, efficient sample loading and access to challenging sample matrices. Scientists can now analyse samples that are traditionally difficult to clean up or poorly suited to direct measurement.
SpectrAline cartridges aim to deliver reproducible sample preconcentration for MRR workflows, maximising the amount of analyte delivered to the measurement region while leveraging the specificity of MRR for molecular identification. This results in improved detection limits and reliable quantitation across a broader range of real-world samples.
“MRR performance depends not only on the spectrometer, but on how efficiently and cleanly molecules are introduced into the measurement region,” said BrightSpec CEO Rick Gordon. “SpectrAline cartridges are engineered to load more sample, concentrate trace-level components, and enable MRR analysis from matrices that were previously difficult or impractical—directly translating to higher sensitivity and an expanded application space.”
SpectrAline cartridges are fully compatible with BrightSpec’s current and upcoming MRR platforms and will be available for order beginning in June 2026.
