Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX TOF/TOF 5800 #9177347 for sale

ABI TOF/TOF 5800 is a high performance time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. It is an orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight (oa-TOF) analyzer, combining both traditional and revolutionary technologies to provide its user with unparalleled performance. It deals with exact mass and isotope abundance measurements. The orthogonal acceleration design allows users to analyze samples quickly and simultaneously by providing an accelerated energy boost to ions as they enter the TOF mass spectrometer and sending them into the flight path. The 5800 performs high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) readings and exact mass analysis by utilizing reflectron technology. Its linear mirrors reflect the ions back and forth until they match the desired energy profile by allowing for corrections in the timing of the ions. This results in improved detection of isotopes and accuracy of data. In addition, the 5800 boasts an extended dynamic range and MS/MS sensitivity. The extended dynamic range of the 5800 allows users to measure both low and high-abundance compounds while improving the signal to noise ratio. The MS/MS capability combined with the high resolution quadrupole-TOF instruments lets users not only analyze simple molecules but also the complex structures of higher molecular weight compounds. The 5800 includes features such as Variable Isolation Window (VIW) and Retardation Potential Switch (RPS) to optimize the selectivity of precursor ion selection. This allows users to acquire mass spectra with higher resolution and analyze complex mixtures and fragmentation patterns. Furthermore, the 5800 provides an optimized source design with shortens the time needed for both ESI and APCI ionization. Moreover, its split-jet gas system decreases noise and ensures reproducible results. The dual-flow design with optimized electron transfer dissociation (ETD) gas gives superior fragmentation and increases MS/MS sensitivity. Overall, MDS SCIEX TOF/TOF 5800 offers superior data acquisition rates and provides high resolution and accuracy, and excellent MS/MS sensitivity. This enables users to accurately identify low-abundance compounds and complex mixtures. It also provides specific features to reduce noise and optimize ionization for better performance and reproducibility.
