Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX API 6500 #293799031 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX API 6500 is a tandem mass spectrometer - an analytical instrument that combines an ion source, an analyzer and a detector with a combination of highly precise scientific technologies. ABI API 6500 is designed to provide the highest quality analytical results in the shortest amount of time, and is used in a variety of industries such as biotech, pharmaceuticals, research, and environmental testing. Using its dual-stage mass analyzer, MDS SCIEX API 6500 is capable of acquiring complex analytical mixtures; it is also powerful enough to analyze low-level compounds with great sensitivity and accuracy. The first stage of this machine includes an electrospray ion source which is capable of ionizing and transferring charged peptides, polymers, and proteins. This ion source is able to detect any type of molecule, from small molecules to oligosaccharides. The second stage, or the mass analyzer, combines a linear ion trap and a time-of-flight mass detector. This tandem technology creates an extremely sensitive platform that can handle low-level compounds with accuracy. Additionally, this device is able to identify and measure components with up to 10 ppm accuracy, and can achieve a maximum resolution of around 10,000, which is ideal for large structures. Lastly, this machine's TOF detector is able to break down whole proteins to the point where all of its peptide fragments have been identified. In addition, APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS API 6500 can also handle high-sensitivity situations such as large metabolite-studies. This high level of sensitivity is achieved because the machine is equipped with a powerful ion source and is able to reduce noise levels to extremely low thresholds. This aspect is highly beneficial because it allows researchers to reliably detect target ions even amongst larger, non-target ions. Overall, API 6500 is a highly precise and performance-driven instrument, which achieves the highest quality analytical results in an efficient and timely manner. Its tandem mass spectrometry technology makes the machine effective for any research project involving analyte identification and quantification, and its outstanding performance makes it suitable for a variety of industries.
