Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 5600+ Triple TOF #9155155 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX 5600+ Triple TOF is a powerful mass spectrometer used for proteomics and metabolomics analysis in the life sciences. This equipment combines the speed of triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, wide scan range of mass to charge (m/z) up to 16,000, and optimized ion processing of time-of-flight (TOF). This system is designed for low-volume high-sensitivity sample workflows, with excellent resolution and low sample requirements for each run. It has a wide dynamic range and high mass accuracy for high-confidence identification and quantitation of complex samples. The first quadrupole acts as the ion source and selects ions of the desired mass-to-charge ratio for ionization and analysis. Ions from the source are then transferred into the second quadrupole, where they are aligned in a single mass-to-charge ratio beam before entering the collision cell. The collision cell acts as a filter and allows only higher energy ions to pass. The third quadrupole then further refines the beam before entering the TOF detector. The accelerated ions of the desired m/z values reach the detector and generate electric pixel pulses that are used to determine the intensity of the corresponding signal. The raw data from the mass spectrum is then analyzed by software such as Data Analysis Workstation and BioTools to identify, quantify, and report proteins and metabolites present in the sample. The unit also features an integrated autotune machine that allows it to optimize the performance of the instrument for a given sample type and application. This tool allows the user to choose from various configurations to best suit their experiment's requirements, and it also supports multi-dimensional methods such as bottom-up and top-down proteomics. The autotune asset can be used to reduce matrix effects, minimize memory effects, and optimize dynamic range, ensuring precise and reliable analytical results. Overall, ABI 5600+ Triple TOF is a reliable and precise mass spectrometer that can be used for high-sensitivity and low-volume sample analysis. It has a wide range of applications in the life sciences and can be used in a variety of proteomics and metabolomics workflows.
