Used THERMO FINNIGAN LCQ Deca XP. #198081 for sale

THERMO FINNIGAN LCQ Deca XP is a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quadrupole time of flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer capable of performing a variety of analytical techniques including LC-MS/MS, On-Line LCMS, nanoelectrospray (nES) ionization, and MALDI. Its high resolution and sensitivity make it ideal for a broad range of applications, such as proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and drug discovery. LCQ Deca XP is composed of four main components: the ESI source, the ion source, the mass analyzer and the computer interface. The ESI source is responsible for generating ions for sample analysis, and it consists of a capillary nebulizer, electrospray ionization source, and a heated nebulizer. The ion source creates the ionized sample and then emits it in a vacuum for analysis. It uses a pulsed radiofrequency quadrupole, which helps to resolve different samples and reduce signal noise. The mass analyzer is responsible for separating and detecting ions, and uses a quadrupole time of flight technology. The QTOF system provides high-resolution, accurate mass measurements which can be used to identify and quantitate compounds. The computer interface provides various data acquisition methods and software packages, which can be used to make data analysis easier. It also includes a user friendly graphical user interface. THERMO FINNIGAN LCQ Deca XP spectrometer can be used for a variety of analytical techniques, like LC-MS/MS, On-Line LCMS, and MALDI. In LC-MS/MS, two or more ions with different trajectories are generated in the ion source to form a collision cell. The ions then pass through the collision cell while undergoing fragmentation, resulting in mass spectra of the sample. This method helps to identify the compounds present in the sample. On-Line LCMS is used to analyze mixtures using a single LC-MS system, and allows for sequencing of peptides and metabolites. MALDI is a sample preparation technique that uses a matrix to stabilize ions for analysis. This technique can be used to detect and identify proteins and small molecules in a sample. Overall, LCQ Deca XP is an advanced HPLC-QTOF spectrometer that features high resolution and accuracy for a range of analytical techniques including LC-MS/MS, On-Line LCMS, and MALDI. It has a robust design and extensive software packages, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. These features make THERMO FINNIGAN LCQ Deca XP a great choice for analytical laboratories.
