Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX QStar Elite #9258890 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX QStar Elite is a spectrometer designed for high-throughput quantitative applications, offering increased sensitivity and performance capabilities. This instrument provides powerful features including an automated auto-sampler, on-line fraction collection and multiplexed quantitation, and can be configured to meet the needs of a broad range of proteomic, metabolomic and drug discovery workflows. The system is built with a Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (QqTOF) mass spectrometer, capable of detecting and quantifying proteins, nucleotides, and small organic and inorganic compounds with high sensitivity and specificity. The QqTOF is designed for using both quadrupole and time-of-flight mass spectra to analyze complex biological samples. The unit also includes an ion source, a quadrupole, a pulsed ion steering lens, a linear ion guide, a mass range selector, a detector, and a transmission system for the charged particles from the source to the detector. ABI QStar Elite performs quantitative and qualitative analysis of proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, lipids, glycolipids, carbohydrates, and small molecules, such as metabolites, drugs, and synthetic compounds. Its user-friendly graphical interface allows researchers to easily configure and control the instrument functions for enhanced performance and data collection. Additionally, the instrument provides accurate and reliable quantitation results allowing researchers to identify and quantify low abundance compounds, using optimized analytic conditions. In addition to its quantitative functions, MDS SCIEX QStar Elite can provide qualitative information using its highly sensitive ion trap detector. The instrument can perform both full scan and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) experiments to analyze complex composition of samples. This ensures that targeted compounds are reliably quantified, without interference from other molecules in the sample. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS QStar Elite is designed for use in carefully managed laboratory settings and is not suitable for use in the field. The instrument is an ideal choice for quantification and identification of proteins and small molecules in biological samples, as well as metabolomics, proteomics and drug discovery workflows.
