Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS API 3000 #9080428 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS API 3000 is a lab equipment and accessory used for tandem mass spectrometry applications. It is a platform designed to identify, quantify, and characterize a wide array of compounds in a variety of biological matrices. API 3000 is a high-performance instrument that utilizes the best of both triple quadrupole and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) technologies. With this appliance, researchers can identify and quantify biologically relevant compounds in a single scan and can also characterize the structures of these compounds. It performs MS/MS analysis on many different compounds like peptides, nucleotides, small molecules, lipids, and even proteins. This instrument is also commonly used for drug metabolism studies, proteomics, and genomics research, among other applications. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS API 3000 features a single quadrupole analyzer and a collision cell for MS/MS analysis. The first quadrupole acts as a filter to separate matrix ions from background noise and direct them to the collision cell. The cell contains an inert gas (Ar or N2), which creates the necessary conditions for fragmentation of the sample. Fragments created through the collisions can then be separated by another quadrupole to produce the desired information. The instrument also has a mass calibrator, which can be used to confirm the ions in an analytical mass spectra (MS/MS) scan. API 3000 is designed to provide flexibility and scalability for different sample types and applications. It has a data acquistion rate of up to 2,000 scans per second, and can work in both positive and negative mode. The installation process requires a significant infrastructure, which includes a controlled environment, computer systems, reliable power supplies and cooling systems. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS API 3000 is an incredibly powerful and versatile instrument. It has proven to be a reliable analytical tool for many research applications which require rapid sample processing and precise quantification and characterization of biologically relevant compounds. This instrument continues to be widely used in laboratories around the world.
