Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC LCQ Deca #9106688 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC LCQ Deca is a high-performance ion trap and post-column ion trap tandem mass spectrometer designed for gas chromatography and liquid chromatography separations. This spectrometer is optimized for the detection of low-level analytes in complex samples, making it an ideal choice for proteomics, metabolomics and environmental applications. The spectrometer features a fully-featured time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer with an enhanced pulse-ionizing source with higher transmission and improved mass resolution. The fast scanning speeds enhance the quantification time, making it ideal for applications requiring fast and accurate bioanalytical measurements. At the heart of LCQ Deca is a thermal ionization source which promotes the desorption and ionization of analytes directly from a sample. This direct ionization provides a greater selectivity of the analyte, as opposed to the usual adsorbed ions created by other ionization sources. The ionization also supports a wide range of sample matrices, including biological sources, such as human blood and tissues, and environmental matrices, such as air, water and soil. The spectrometer features the ability to perform tandem mass spectrometry, or MS/MS, which allows for greater selectivity and less sample cleanup compared to single stage mass spectrometry. The combination of the collision-induced dissociation (CID) with the ion trap makes THERMO SCIENTIFIC LCQ Deca ideal for performing sequencing and fragmentation studies, and provides increased sensitivity. The MS/MS process also results in increased signal-to-noise ratios, as well as improved chromatographic resolution by reducing ion clustering. Furthermore, the spectrometer provides a range of automation and data acquisition and interpretation features. These include automated liquid chromatography methods, automated mass spectral library search algorithms, and automated peak and compound identification routines. An automated data setup tool helps alleviate manual configuration errors, while a high power post-column ion trap provides ultrahigh sensitivity. LCQ Deca is an ideal MS/MS spectrometer for a wide variety of analytical applications, providing high-sensitivity, accurate and reliable measurements. This powerful tool is capable of rapidly collecting high-quality data, with configurable parameters ensuring that the most difficult to analyze compounds can be detected. Consequently, this spectrometer provides the best of both worlds, enabling researchers to obtain precise results efficiently.
