Used WATERS Acquity TQD #9211487 for sale

WATERS Acquity TQD is a versatile and high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry instrument used for the analysis of trace analytes in various types of samples. The instrument has two functional parts - the relatively low-end liquid chromatography (LC) and the high-end tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS/MS). The instrument allows for the analysis of multiple analytes simultaneously, providing higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to other techniques. The LC portion of Acquity TQD consists of a solvent and sample delivery equipment, a column oven, a pump, a detector, and an autosampler. The solvent delivery system allows precise control over eluents and maintains a constant flow of mobile phase into the unit. The column oven provides temperature control for the chromatography column, which helps to improve retention time and resolution. The pump is used for pumping the mobile phase with precise pressure and flow rates. The detector measures the electrical charge of the compounds eluting from the column. And the autosampler allows for the injection of multiple samples into the machine automatically. The MS/MS portion of WATERS Acquity TQD consist of a mass spectrometer, a source, and a detector. The mass spectrometer is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of the compounds as they pass through the source. The source is used to ionize the molecules and measure their mass-to-charge ratio. The detector measures the electrical charge of the ions passing through the source. Acquity TQD also includes a range of interpretive and data analysis software packages, designed to quickly and accurately analyze and interpret the data generated by the instrument. The software packages include tools such as a graphical user interface, a tool control panel, a chromatography data asset, an automatic baseline subtraction, and a library of standard compounds. The chromatography data model allows for automated manipulation of data, as well as manual assistance when needed. The automatic baseline subtraction allows for automatic background operation and calculation of the area under the peak. And the library of standard compounds allows for the comparison of unknown analytes to pre-stored reference materials. In summary, WATERS Acquity TQD is a powerful and versatile instrument, designed for the analysis of trace analytes in a range of samples. The instrument provides high-performance LC and MS/MS analysis, along with a range of interpretive and data analysis software packages. Acquity TQD is an ideal instrument for laboratories looking to analyze trace amounts of analytes or for those who need accurate and reliable data for regulatory or research purposes.
