Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 5500 Qtrap #293606242 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 5500 Qtrap is a triple quadrupole-linear ion trap (QTRAP) mass spectrometry equipment. The system combines the capabilities of a triple-quadrupole with those of an ion trap, enabling it to provide sensitive, robust, and accurate quantitative results. It features an ion-optics chamber and ion-source that reduces sample-beam nonlinearity and improves analyte mass resolution. The unit also has enhanced soft-ionization capabilities for improved specificity for small molecules. The machine is equipped with a built-in Q-Array detector that enables it to detect multiple types of ions simultaneously. This detector is capable of high-sensitivity and rapid data-acquisition speeds, allowing it to analyze complex samples in a fraction of the time of traditional triple-quadrupole instruments. Its low-power ion optics also reduce ion suppression and streamer ion formation in the experiment. Additionally, the tool can provide ultra-high mass resolution when using the QTrap Data-Dependent Analysis (DDA) technique, which helps improve the results of peptide mapping experiments. Its patented ion-mobility feature allows for the direct analysis of non-volatile low-molecular-weight compounds, providing improved selectivity for quantification. The asset also features a third quadrupole for improved high-mass accuracy and MS/MS reliability. Furthermore, ABI 5500 Qtrap abides by the current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements and features a modular design for easy expansion and upgrades. It also integrates seamlessly with existing data systems and is compatible with software for the analysis, storage, and archiving of the acquired data. With its high sensitivity, accuracy, and throughput, the QTRAP model is an invaluable tool for analytical laboratories and other applications.
