Used FINNIGAN MS #9126325 for sale

FINNIGAN MS (Mass Spectrometer) is a high-performance, high-resolution mass spectrometer designed for use in research and industrial settings. This mass spectrometer's capabilities are made possible by a laser and a detector tube assembly. This combination allows the instrument to deliver extremely precise results that are highly repeatable in most applications. In other words, MS is able to measure the mass of a sample by determining the masses of its components using a beam of ions. This is done by first inducing fragmentation of the sample, then forming ions of the fragmented components that pass into the device. The instrument then analyzes and measures the mass of these ions, and displays the results. FINNIGAN MS features a wide variety of ionization techniques, including electron ionization (EI), chemical ionization (CI), and soft ionization (FI). In Electron ionization (EI), the sample is bombarded with electrons, causing fragmentation, before fragments are then ionized and then move into the device. Chemical ionization makes use of reagent gases such as methane and isobutene. Soft ionization usually relies on laser light to form ions, dissociating them into separate elements. The range of MS is impressive, with a mass range of 0.8 to up to 12,500 atomic mass units (amu). This allows incredibly precise results, with a resolution in excess of up to 1100 mass units full width at a half-maximum (FWHM). This remarkably wide range coupled with excellent resolution makes FINNIGAN MS a go-to mass spectrometer for researchers performing demanding applications such as complex chemical mixture analysis, targeted and non-targeted analysis of various biomolecules and complexes, and quantification of samples. Beyond its excellent performance and accuracy, MS is set apart by its ruggedness and robustness. It automatically reads samples up to 200 degrees Celsius, allowing it to be used in harsh environments where other mass spectrometers fail. Additionally, the device can be programmed and remotely operated from a distance, making it a great option for labs with multiple users. Overall, FINNIGAN MS is truly a high-performance solution for laboratories who require accurate and repeatable data. With its wide range, excellent resolution, and tough design, MS is an essential tool for any lab requiring precise and reliable mass spectrometry measurements.
