Used THERMO FINNIGAN TSQ Quantum #9120062 for sale

THERMO FINNIGAN TSQ Quantum is an advanced quadrupole mass spectrometer designed to support a wide range of analytical applications. This spectrometer can be used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions in solution made up of elements or compounds, known as molecular ions. This device is capable of providing researchers with fast and accurate results for trace element analysis. TSQ Quantum utilizes a quadrupole mass filter, which is a device that contains four rod-shaped electrodes. When an electrical voltage is applied to each of the four rods, the varying voltages create an oscillating electric field which acts like a filter that resolves ionized particles according to mass-to-charge ratio. The device also utilizes an ion cone which is designed to focus the sample ions on to the mass filter. THERMO FINNIGAN TSQ Quantum is equipped with Electron Ionisation (EI) and Chemical Ionization (CI) ion source technologies. With EI, the sample is bombarded with electrons to create positively-charged ions, which can then be measured by mass spectrometry. CI works by introducing a specific reagent gas into the spectrometer in order to create negative ions. Also included in TSQ Quantum is an Electron Multiplier Detector (EMD), which is used to count the ions that pass through the filter. This detector is highly sensitive and is capable of detecting very low concentrations of ions. Overall, THERMO FINNIGAN TSQ Quantum is designed with advanced quadrupole mass filtering technology and many other features to help researchers quickly and accurately analyze trace elements in solutions. This spectrometer is an excellent tool for applications ranging from environmental forensics to biochemistry.
