Used FINNIGAN LCQ Advantage #9108912 for sale

FINNIGAN LCQ Advantage is a high-performance ion trap mass spectrometer. It is a newer addition to Thermo Fisher Scientific's innovative LC/MS-MS family and combines the best of both technology and hardware. LCQ Advantage offers improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio for ultra-low-level quantification of peptides and proteins. FINNIGAN LCQ Advantage offers a variety of analysis techniques, including multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and peptide mapping. In MRM, LCQ Advantage can automatically detect and identify peptide transitions with a single scan. The instrument's proprietary MS3 software can be used to characterize even non-selective peptide fragmentation. Peptide mapping provides a detailed overview of the amino acid content and the structural conformation of the peptide sequence. FINNIGAN LCQ Advantage is a powerful tool for high-throughput peptide and protein identification and quantitation. It features a fast vacuum-locking system, a low-dispersion ion optics, a dual-resonance ion trap, and an automated 3D noise filter. This combination of hardware and software allows for a 10-centroid resolution over a wide m/z window, which results in a high-quality protein/peptide detection and quantification. Additionally, LCQ Advantage's sensitivity is increased by a 100-fold over conventional ion trap mass spectrometers, making it ideal for low-level peptide or protein discrimination. For pre-column separations, FINNIGAN LCQ Advantage can be used with Thermo Fisher's Xcalibur software for automated online sample handling. LCQ Advantage is also capable of interfacing with UHPLC systems, which provides a complete solution for qualitative and quantitative proteomics. The instrument is highly customizable and offers multiple data acquisition and processing options. Overall, FINNIGAN LCQ Advantage is a powerful and reliable ion trap mass spectrometer. It offers an unparalleled combination of hardware and software, yielding excellent results in peptide and protein identification and quantification. With its high-performance, superior sensitivity, and efficient automation, LCQ Advantage is an excellent choice for any laboratory.
