Rohan Thakur, PhD, President of Bruker Daltonics, highlights a core performance theme behind Bruker’s TIMS technology: depth combined with speed. Early TIMS workflows supported roughly ten samples per day. Current implementations reach about 500 samples per day while maintaining high sensitivity. This shift reflects a focus on robustness alongside throughput. High-scale operation demands stable performance across long sequences and diverse sample types. Thakur frames robustness as a prerequisite for converting raw instrument capability into practical laboratory productivity.
He also points to Bruker’s engagement with the research community through an extensive key opinion leader program. These collaborations support scientists pushing technical boundaries. Thakur cites Dr. Jacob Geri, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Weill Cornell Medical College, as an example, noting work on shift reagent strategies within a TIMS cell. Such efforts expand what TIMS-based systems can measure and resolve. The combined emphasis on scale, sensitivity, and scientific partnership positions TIMS workflows for both discovery and routine analytical environments.
