Used HITACHI Chromaster #9382676 for sale

HITACHI Chromaster is a high-performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument manufactured by Japan's HITACHI High Technologies. Chromaster utilizes both tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography with detection to analyze complex mixtures of compounds. Its unique design features several sampling and detection components, along with a control system that help to ensure more precise and faster analysis results. The basic design of HITACHI Chromaster consists of a pump module, instrumental control module, auto-sampler, vacuum degasser, atmospheric scrubber, ion source, and detectors. The pump module contains a solvent delivery system that regulates the flow of the mobile phase to Chromaster. The instrumental control module contains user-adjustable parameters to control HITACHI Chromaster's analysis capabilities. The auto-sampler is used to easily load samples into Chromaster. The atmospheric scrubber and vacuum degasser remove gas and water vapor from the sample stream, which improves the accuracy of data analysis. The ion source of HITACHI Chromaster is a chemical ionization source that generates reagent ions suitable for ionization reactions. These activated reagents enable the chromatographic separation of components in the sample. The detectors for Chromaster include both an electron multiplier and an atmospheric pressure ionization detector. The electron multiplier detector is used for detection of non ionized molecules, while the atmospheric pressure ionization detector is used for detection of ionized molecules. HITACHI Chromaster performs two types of tandem mass spectrometry: atmospheric pressure ionization tandem-mass spectrometry (API-MS/MS) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS/MS). API-MS/MS uses negative ionization, which enables the detection of molecules with high proton affinity. APCI-MS/MS uses positive ionization, which allows for the detection of compounds with low proton affinity. Thus, Chromaster is able to analyze a variety of compounds. In addition to its analysis capabilities, HITACHI Chromaster has a user-friendly software interface that includes a data processing software package. This software package allows users to review and process analytical results. It also includes user-set tolerances, search features, and other quality control tools that help to ensure the accuracy of the data collected. Overall, Chromaster is a high-end LC-MS instrument that can accurately analyze complex mixtures of compounds. The instrument is capable of both API-MS/MS and APCI-MS/MS analyses and can be used to analyze a variety of compounds. Its user-friendly software package and quality control tools make it ideal for researchers and analytical laboratories that require reliable and accurate analysis of complex mixtures.
