Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX TripleTOF 5600+ #293633933 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX TripleTOF 5600+ spectrometer (also known simply as the "TripleTOF") is a state-of-the-art mass spectrometer designed for applications in proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics. As its name suggests, the TripleTOF is a triple quadrupole ToF (Time of Flight) mass spectrometer. It utilizes both fixed- and variable-energy collision cells to achieve high accuracy and resolution in both ESI-MS/MS and MRM modes. The TripleTOF is based on multiplex quadrupole collision-activated dissociation (CAD) technology. In the first stage, the tandem quadrupoles act as variable-energy filters and reject background ions while allowing only those meeting the designated specifications to pass. This is followed by a CAD cell which enables the user to select a specific collision energy to fragment the desired ions, thereby allowing the user to maximize both the sensitivity and specificity of the experiment. The TripleTOF is also equipped with a patented plate-based relay optics and a hybrid detector that includes both Faraday (for fast scanning and quantification) and channeltron (for enhanced resolution of low-mass ions) components. The combination of these two innovative technologies results in improved speed and sensitivity over single-quad and hybrid triple-quadrupole systems. The addition of a wide 60-350 m/z range furthers the TripleTOF's capacity to detect a wide range of compounds, and complement it with an increased rate of throughput. Additionally, the TripleTOF is capable of 0.1 to 10 uAmu mass resolution. This allows those using the spectrometer to detect and monitor compounds with very similar molecular weights. The TripleTOF is a perfect choice for laboratories that need to perform high-throughput, yet still accurate and selective, mass spectrometer measurements. The combination of its multiplex quadrupole collision-activated dissociation technology and hybrid detector results in improved speed and sensitivity compared to other models. Its wide 60-350 m/z range makes it ideal for detecting low-mass ions on top of other compounds, all while still maintaining a high accuracy, resolution and quantification rate.
