Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 3900 #9053984 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 3900 is a highly efficient instrument used in the area of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics research. It consists of four essential components: the source module, the analyzer module, the integrated LC/MS system, and the computer-controlled software. The source module is responsible for ionizing protein samples into their constituent ions before injecting them into the analyzer. This is done by passing an electrospray or MALDI (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) ion formation through the sample. The sample is then ionized into + or - charged components; thus beginning the Mass Spectrometry process. Next, the analyzer module in ABI 3900 passes the ionized proteins through an vacuum chamber, where the charge-to-mass ratio is determined and tracked. This process allows researchers to detect and identify the peptide particles and measure their masses. Further, the integrated LC/MS system of MDS SCIEX 3900 allows researchers to combine the robust capabilities of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) into a single instrument. This combination results in improved sensitivity, convenience, and flexibility, allowing researchers to extract a large range of information from a single sample. Lastly, the computer-controlled software is designed to enable fast, easy operation of APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 3900. This software allows researchers to analyze data gathered during the MS process, as well as to accurately identify peptides and record their different characteristics. This software also allows data to be generated in a variety of formats, such as mzData, ABI-format and others, thus allowing for comprehensive multi-channel analysis. In summary, 3900 is an essential piece of equipment for the area of MS-based proteomics research. Its combination of source module, analyzer module, integrated LC/MS system, and computer-controlled software enables researchers to analyze and interpret MS data with greater accuracy and confidence. Its reliable and versatile nature make it an important tool in the research arena.
