Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX API 4000 Qtrap #9178027 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX API 4000 Qtrap (abbreviated as 'API 4000') is a type of mass spectrometer that can analyze large amounts of information from biological samples with great sensitivity and accuracy. This powerful machine enables scientists to detect even trace amounts of molecules and analyze their structure and content. The API 4000 consists of an electrospray ion source, an atmospheric pressure ion source, an ion trap, and an ion funnels for injection into the ion source. The ion source contains a high-voltage needle for generating allow voltage fields that cause vaporized molecules to move through the instrument and form electrostatic charges. The atmospheric pressure ionization source uses a mix of nitrogen, water, and other gases to create a mist of vaporized molecules, which can then be analyzed in the ion trap. The ion trap consists of a quadrupole mass filter and octopole collision cell. The quadrupole mass filter is a type of mass spectrometry device that uses an alternating electric field in order to isolate and measure molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio. The octopole collision cell is used to excite the trapped molecules and fragment them, while the quadrupole field remains constant throughout the entire process. This helps to further separate and analyze the fragment ions. The API 4000 is known for its high sample throughput, delivering data acquisition times of less than two seconds. Its fast processing speeds make it ideal for a variety of applications, including drug discovery and development, clinical diagnostics, food and environmental testing, and protein and metabolite identification. It is also capable of performing quantitative and qualitative analysis of complex samples, and its multiple reaction monitoring mode allows for fast, sensitive and selective detection of minute amounts of analyte. ABI API 4000 Qtrap comes with a suite of extra features, including advanced scoring algorithms and data analysis tools, to help scientists make sense of their results. software also allows users to easily access and generate comprehensive data sets with appropriate graphical presentations. Overall, it is an ideal scientific tool for research and development.
