Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS QStar Elite #178248 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS QStar Elite is a versatile, high performance quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer that provides accurate, ultra-sensitive analyses of any sample complexity. It features true over-sampling technology for simultaneous data acquisition and optimal peak identification, advanced dynamic range for greater signal sensitivity, and an open platform architecture for full access to the mass spectrometer application software. This makes it one of the most powerful and reliable mass spectrometers on the market. The unique quadrupole design enables QStar Elite to separate charged molecules by their m/z ratio and direct them to the TOF analyzer for mass-by-charge identification. This ensures that the exact composition of thousands of molecules can be identified at once, providing accurate and repeatable results even in the presence of contaminants. Pre-run sample concentration optimization allows higher sensitivity and the simultaneous analysis of different samples. The superior dynamic range of APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS QStar Elite is achieved through the combination of peak dynamic range (PDR) and instrument dynamic range (IDR). The PDR is based on the fixed signal-to-noise ratio that can be set, while the IDR can be extended through the use of different ion sources and additional electronics. This ensures that even the smallest peaks can be accurately identified. QStar Elite's open platform architecture even allows for third-party accessory integration. This includes new ion sources and additional detection channels, as well as a variety of software programs that allow for annotation of the spectra and decryption of fragmentation patterns. All of these features make APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS QStar Elite unparalleled in its ability to detect and accurately identify any sample complexity. QStar Elite has become the industry standard for ultra-sensitive high-performance spectrometry. Its sensitive detection, high dynamic range, powerful analysis capabilities, and open platform architecture make it a powerful and reliable solution for any lab.
