Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap Velos #293650856 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap Velos is a type of mass spectrometer designed for accurate and high-resolution measurements of proteins, peptides and metabolites. This powerful instrument can accurately determine the relative abundance of diverse species, including post-translational and chemical modifications. LTQ Orbitrap Velos operates by first propelling the sample through an ion source so the various components within can be vaporized and ionized. The ionized sample is then accelerated through a vacuum where it is analyzed and fragmented. Finally, the ions within the sample enter an orbitrap device which subject it to an electrostatic field. The electrostatic field of this device contains many concentric shells that allow the sample to be selectively spun through the device. This helps it to generate ions with a higher m/z ratio than what is typically achievable with other instruments. As the ions pass through the device they are subjected to Fourier transform and THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap Velos can highly accurate measure them. LTQ Orbitrap Velos also comes equipped with a quadrupole filter. This device helps to separates ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio, allowing only the desired ions to be focused through the analysis and eliminating extraneous, potentially interfering substances. THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap Velos can operate with a variety of interfaces, making it compatible with a number of different data systems. This tremendous flexibility allows LTQ Orbitrap Velos to be used for various different types of analyses, such as top-down, bottom-up and LC/MS/MS based approaches. Overall, THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap Velos is an extremely powerful and versatile tool for obtaining high-resolution mass spectrometry data. It is able to separate ions based on their m/z ratio and also offers reliable quantitation capabilities. It is ideal for analytical, environmental and clinical research applications.
