Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 5500 Qtrap #293628821 for sale

ABI 5500 Q-Trap is a triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS) system designed for high sensitivity and specificity of analytes in biological and environmental samples. This powerful instrument is ideal for peptide identification and quantification, small molecule quantification, post-translational modification characterization, and novel protein analysis. The SCIEX 5500 Q-Trap combines the capability of a quaternary pump, a triple quadrupole mass analyzer, and an ion trap detector. The quaternary pump is used to deliver the sample and mobile phase to the mass analyzer, with considerable precision. The triple quadrupole mass analyzer operates on the principle of having three series of stabilizing electric fields that can separate a single analyte from other components in the sample. It is also used to identify and quantify multiple components in the sample. Lastly, the ion trap detector is used to neutralize the ions produced by the triple quadrupole mass analyzer, producing much more precise measurements. The SCIEX 5500 Q-Trap offers a wide range of flexibility and robustness. It is capable of using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) or information-dependent acquisitions (IDA), with customizable experimental parameters. This allows for the precise control of isolation and activation of ions, as well as fragmentation for mass spectral analysis. It also offers options for both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source, allowing for the analysis of volatile, neutral, and polar compounds. Furthermore, the SCIEX 5500 Q-Trap has an extended linear dynamic range and inherent noise reduction capabilities, both of which are critical for achieving accurate and reliable data. The instrument is equipped with user-friendly operating software that allows for automated acquisition and rapid data analysis. With its consistent performance and robust capabilities, the SCIEX 5500 Q-Trap is an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable MS/MS data. It offers high sensitivity and specificity, making it suitable for a wide range of analytical tasks. It is an essential tool in research laboratories, clinical laboratories, and environmental testing labs.
